Importance of Vitamins in your Life
from: Olivia HardingVitamins
Natural vitamins are those organic food substances which are
found only in plants and animals, i.e., living things. The body
is not able to synthesize or manufacture vitamins (although
there are a few exceptions to this). Because of this, they must
be supplied either directly in the diet, or by way of dietary
supplements. Vitamins are vital if our body is to function
normally. They are absolutely necessary for our growth,
general-well being and vitality. Vitamins cannot be assimilated
without ingesting food. This is why it is suggested that
vitamins must be taken with a meal. They help to regulate the
body's metabolism, assist in forming the bone and tissue, and
help convert fat and carbohydrates. However, one must remember
that vitamins cannot replace food.
We shall now look at the importance of each of the vitamins by
turn.
