"B" vitamins, unleash the Beast inside you
from: Andy CasasantaCopyright 2005 Andy Casasanta
This is another vitamin article that I have written, but the
only difference is that this one goes into more detail about
specific vitamins. My previous articles do not do that. Those
articles were more of a short introduction into vitamins, their
role and their best food source. I'll start with 2 water Soluble
Vitamins and 1 fat soluble vitamins.
Water Soluble Vitamins: These are water-soluble vitamins that
are not stored in the body and must be replaced each day. These
vitamins are Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6,
vitamin B12, Folic Aid, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin and vitamin C.
Lets start with the b vitamins: Vitamin B1 is needed to process
carbs, fats, and proteins. Vitamin b1 is required by everybody
to form the fuel the body runs on. Every nerve cell requires
vitamin b1 to function properly. Wheat germ, peas, beans,
enriched flour, fish, peanuts, and meat are all excellent
sources of vitamin b1. People with advancing age, a poor diet
and too much alcohol consumption may result in vitamin b1
deficiency. The suggested RDA for vitamin b1 is unclear but The
amount found in most multivitamin supplements is more than
enough. Vitamin b1 works hand in hand with vitamin b2 and
vitamin b3.
Vitamin b2: Helps release energy from foods. Essential for
healthy eyes, skin, nails and hair. Their sources are: Whole
grains, brewer's yeast, torula yeast, wheat germ, almonds,
sunflower seeds,cooked leafy vegetables. The suggested RDA for
vitamin b2 is unclear but The amount found in most multivitamin
supplements is more than enough.
Please note, be aware that vitamin b3 or Niacin, as its commonly
known as, may cause a reaction in some people. Itching and or
burning are two of the symptoms. The author of this article
found that out the hard way. Fat-soluble vitamins: Theses
vitamins are A, D, E and K. These vitamins are dissolved in fat
and stored, therefore they are not needed every day in the diet.
Over consumption of fat soluble vitamins may pose a risk of
toxicity.
Vitamin A: Vitamin a is a fat soluble vitamin and as mentioned
before, should not be consumed in excess. For the maintenance of
skin, mucous membranes, bones, teeth, and hair; eye sight. Their
sources are: green vegetables, melon, squash, tomatoes.
Well that's it for this article. Look for more of my vitamin
articles coming soon.
