All of us has a recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamins and minerals that we all must have to keep our bodies strong and healthy, energized, and able to fight off bacteria we will each encounter just about daily. Biotin, often called vitamin b7, is one of the various super important vitamins we need each day. An average grown person needs to intake 30mcg of biotin each day. Biotin benefits often occur naturally in the body aided by really small bacteria that can be found inside of your intestines and because of this deficiencies are quite rare.
However, sometimes the body alone doesn't make the needed amount of biotin, so it's advisable to chow down on foods full of vitamins and nutrients. Dairy products and eggs contain the highest amounts of biotin benefits, depending largely on how they've been cooked (you can cook away a lot of nutrients if overcooked).
BIOTIN IN YOUR FOOD
Fresh foods are without a doubt better than processed foods as the fresher foods offer more biotin and much more nutrients. Fruits and vegetables are super rich in biotin and other vitamins. Something to note, cabbage and broccoli host some of the highest volumes of biotin nutrients.
Though fruits and vegetables might not contain as high a biotin content as eggs, they do offer a few other health benefits that our body needs such as calcium, zinc, and other minerals and vitamins. In this article below, we outline a recipe your family could enjoy for lunch or dinner that's not only extremely easy on the taste buds, but quite healthy too. Broccoli contains heaps of biotin and calcium, but not too many kids are fond of eating this green goodness. Once they've tried this dish, you can bet that your child will look forward to eating their veggies.
Fettuccine with Gorgonzola and Broccoli is estimated to take roughly 30 minutes to fully prepare. It's a fast, easy and yummo way to increase your biotin intake.
