You may donate your blood at least once in your lifetime either in an emergency or in a normal situation, the doctor may say to you or your friend, a neighborhood like we can’t take your blood as it lacks hemoglobin. Though it is a normal statement you haven’t taken it as a serious note because after all, it’s your body and health. This statement arrives just because you lack vitamin B6 called Pyridoxine which has two important functions.
- It helps to use the energy from protein and carbohydrates which we get from food and makes to store it as well.

SOYA BEANS
This is one of the best food for vegans. Almost all of us like to have soya and it is the best-added ingredient especially in biryani. Soya Beans are high in fiber and protein.
This is the best food for people who intends to reduce their weight because by nature it doesn’t contain any cholesterol. These contain a special hormone called phytoestrogens where it copies the action of a female hormone called estrogen. It also reduces the risk factors of cardiovascular disease and cancer as well.

This can be taken as chops, curry, side-dishes for rice, and having it during lunchtime is preferred. A 100grams of pork contains 0.5mg of Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine).
BANANA
If you want to have a perfectly balanced diet food, it’s perfect to add banana and milk to your breakfast. Banana is best for weight loss since it gives you a feeling of fullness once have it.
It is rich in carbs which maintains a good sugar level. I prefer green bananas instead of yellow because green has high starch content. It provides better bone strength even athletes preferred to have a banana during their playtime as it gives instant energy to perform effectively. The average size of a banana contains up to 0.4mg of Vitamin B6(pyridoxine).

Wheat germ is part of a wheat kernel and is responsible for helping the plant reproduce and spawn new wheat. Although it’s removed from most processed wheat products, it is a major nutritional component of whole grain wheat. It’s a great source of vegetable proteins, along with fiber and healthy fats.
It prevents us from oxidative stress and cardiovascular diseases as well, and it’s advisable to have it once or twice a week. A 100grams of wheat germ provides 1.3mg of Pyridoxine.
