i dont eat seafood or meat, What vitamins or foods can make up for it?

Answer 1

You need to eat lots of protein in general and Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, D and E.
Here are some specifics:
Vitamin A: is essential for repair and growth of the body, it also protects against disease by maintaining healthy mucus membranes in the lungs, throat, nose and mouth.
It can be found in liver, fish-liver oils, egg yolks, milk and dairy products, margarine, most fruit and vegetables
Vitamin B1: (Thiamine) promotes a healthy nervous system, heart and muscles. It also helps the body cope with stress and trauma as well as being instrumental in breaking down carbohydrates into energy.
It can be found in Wheatgerm, bran, whole-grain, enriched cereal, wholemeal bread, brown rice, pasta, lean meat particularly pork, fish, dried beans.
Vitamin B2: (Riboflavin) also helps in releasing energy from carbohydrates. Additionally growth and red cell production are facilitated by this vitamin.
It can be found in lean meat, leafy green vegetables, dairy products, eggs, nuts, enriched cereal and bread.
Vitamin B3: (Niacin) is instrumental in the smooth running of the digestive system, nerves and skin.
It can be found in lean meat, nuts, dairy products and eggs.
Vitamin B6: (Pyridoxine) helps in the normal functioning of the nervous system, it is instrumental in breaking down amino acids and metabolising proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
It can be found in nuts, whole grains, beans, meat, fish and eggs.
Vitamin B12: is instrumental in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenance of the nervous system.
It can be found in eggs, dairy products, meat and poultry.
Vitamin D: is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It can be found in dairy products, oily fish, eggs. The principal source is sunshine. Less than an hour of sunshine spread over a week provides enough Vitamin D for the average person's needs.
Vitamin E: acts as an antioxidant and is important for the formation of red blood cells.
It can be found in nuts, meat, green leafy vegetables, cereals, wheatgerm, eggs, seeds, olives, oils like soybean and sunflower.

You need to make sure that you *eat* as much of the foods that give you what you need, and *then* supplement for the nutrients that you don't consume through food. It is not a good idea to rely on supplements for all the nutrients you need when you don't eat meat or seafood. Your body needs the raw products!
And a lack of protein can seriously effect your physical and mental growth..make sure you eat plenty of veg. and nut protein as well..soy is a GREAT source of protein. (And if you take the time to learn the recipes..it CAN taste good. Or you can blend it into shakes)

Good luck!
