Unleash the Beast Within You With B Vitamins

 Unleash the Beast Within You With B Vitamins

This is yet another vitamin article I've written, but the only difference is that this one delves deeper into specific vitamins. My previous articles do not accomplish this. Those articles were more of a brief overview of vitamins, their functions, and the best food sources for them. I'm going to start with two water-soluble vitamins and one fat-soluble vitamin.

Vitamins that are water soluble: These are water-soluble vitamins that cannot be stored in the body and must be replenished on a daily basis. Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, and Vitamin C are the vitamins in question.

Let us begin with the B vitamins: Vitamin B1 is required for the digestion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Everyone needs vitamin B1 to make the fuel that the body runs on. To function properly, every nerve cell requires vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 is abundant in wheat germ, peas, beans, enriched flour, fish, peanuts, and meat. People with advanced age, a poor diet, and excessive alcohol consumption may be deficient in vitamin B1. The recommended daily allowance for vitamin B1 is unknown, but the amount found in most multivitamin supplements is more than adequate. Vitamin B1 works in tandem with vitamins B2 and B3.

Vitamin B2: Aids in the release of energy from foods. Essential for maintaining healthy eyes, skin, nails, and hair. Whole grains, brewer's yeast, torula yeast, wheat germ, almonds, sunflower seeds, and cooked leafy vegetables are some of their sources. The recommended daily allowance for vitamin B2 is unknown, but the amount found in most multivitamin supplements is more than adequate.

Please keep in mind that vitamin B3 or Niacin, as it is more commonly known, may cause an allergic reaction in some people. Two of the symptoms are itching and/or burning. The author of this article discovered this the hard way. Vitamins that are fat-soluble: These are vitamins A, D, E, and K. Because these vitamins are dissolved in fat and stored, they are not required in the diet on a daily basis. Excessive consumption of fat-soluble vitamins may be toxic.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that, as previously stated, should not be consumed in excess. Eye sight; skin, mucous membranes, bones, teeth, and hair maintenance. Green vegetables, melon, squash, and tomatoes are some of their sources.
