Getting your vitamins
By Jeff Lakie
There is so much health advice in the world that it is sometimes hard to
keep it all straight! How do you know the right foods to eat? How do
you know the right foods to avoid? How much of each kind can you
enjoy?
Getting your vitamins
Eating healthy, balanced meals throughout the day is what will ensure
that you take in all the vitamins and nutrients you need to survive.
While individuals have different dietary needs, everyone needs the full
complement of vitamins in order to live a healthy, disease-free life.
But why do we need vitamins? There are so many and it's hard to
keep track of what they do. And why are there so many B vitamins?
The B vitamin: it's value to you
There used to only be one B vitamin, until scientists discovered that it
was actually several different chemicals that work together. Over time,
scientists have come to understand the B vitamin complex much better.
As a result, they have isolated eight different vitamins within the B
vitamin family. While they used to consider many more chemicals as
part of the B vitamin family, the vitamins that remain (that you need to
be taking) are B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12.
Individually, deficiencies in these vitamins may lead to a variety of
conditions (depending on which ones are deficient) including unhealthy
weight loss, emotional distress, weakness, irregular heartbeat,
diarrhea, inflammation of the skin, anemia, and even dementia.
Together, this family of vitamins contributes towards healthy skin,
faster metabolism, a better nervous system and immune system, and
they can help combat stress and depression. The B vitamin family can
really do a lot to improve your life!
The solution
So if you are on a diet and are concerned that you may not be getting
enough of the B vitamin complex, you should consider purchasing
vitamin supplements to make sure you're getting all the vitamins you
need. The cost of going without B vitamins can be tragic, while the
benefits of having the full complement of the B vitamin complex is
great.
