VITAMINS

Vitamins can make people's bodies work properly.

We can get vitamins from the foods that we eat

every day and some foods have a lot of vitamins.

Example : fruits and vegetables.

Any of various fat-soluble or water-soluble organic

substances essential in minute amounts for

normal growth and activity of the body.

VITAMIN DEFINATION

Any of various organic compounds that are

needed in small amounts for normal growth

and activity of the body. 

Most vitamins cannot be synthesized by the

body, but are found naturally in foods

obtained from plants and animals.

Vitamins is very important because they

perform various functions in our body.

Vitamins promote the normal growth by

providing metabolism and ensuring

protection against the viruses.

For the proper growth of the children

Vitamins are very important.

FUNCTIONS OF VITAMINS

Vitamins also help in the hormones formation,

blood cells and formation of chemicals in our

body.

Vitamins are also required for metabolism and

they create metabolically active enzymes which

are very essential for various functions of our

body.

Vitamins also assist in forming bones and

tissues.

FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS

Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's

fatty tissue.

The four fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A,

D, E, and K.

CLASSIFICATION OF VITAMINS

WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMINS

Water-soluble vitamins – vitamin C and

vitamin B Complex.

The body must use water-soluble vitamins

right away.

Any left over water-soluble vitamins leave

the body through the urine.

Vitamin B12 is the only water-soluble vitamin

that can be stored in the liver for many

years.

Vitamin A helps form and maintain healthy teeth,

bones, soft tissue, mucus membranes, and skin.

Vitamin D is also known as the "sunshine vitamin,"

since it is made by the body after being in the sun.

Ten to 15 minutes of sunshine three times a week is

enough to produce the body's requirement of vitamin

D.

People who do not live in sunny places may not make

enough vitamin D.

FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMIN FUNCTION

It is very difficult to get enough vitamin D

from food sources alone.

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium,

which you need for the normal development

and maintenance of healthy teeth and

bones.

It also helps maintain proper blood levels of 

calcium and phosphorus.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant also known as

tocopherol.

It plays a role in the formation of red blood

cells and helps the body use vitamin K.

Vitamin K is not listed among the essential

vitamins, but without it blood would not stick

together (coagulate).

Some studies suggest that it is important for

promoting bone health.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps the body cells

change carbohydrates into energy.

Getting plenty of carbohydrates is very important

during pregnancy and breast-feeding.

It is also essential for heart function and healthy

nerve cells.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) works with the other B

vitamins. It is important for body growth and the

production of red blood cells.

WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMIN FUNCTION

Niacin (vitamin B3) is a B vitamin that helps

maintain healthy skin and nerves.

It is also has cholesterol-lowering effects.

Vitamin B6 is also called pyridoxine.

Vitamin B6 helps form red blood cells and

maintain brain function.

Eating larger amounts of protein may reduce

vitamin B6 levels in the body.

Folate (vitamin B9) works with vitamin B12

to help form red blood cells.

It is needed for the production of DNA, which

controls tissue growth and cell function.

Any woman who is pregnant should be sure

to get enough folate.

Low levels of folate are linked to birth

defects such as spina bifida.

Vitamin B12, like the other B vitamins, is

important for metabolism.

It also helps form red blood cells and maintain

the central nervous system.

Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, is an

antioxidant that promotes healthy teeth and

gums.

It helps the body absorb iron and maintain

healthy tissue.

It also promotes wound healing.
