I'll be talking about vitamins in this achievement 4.
What are vitamins?
Vitamins are organic compounds that people need in small quantities. "Vitamins are organic substances present in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs. Having too little of any particular vitamin may increase the risk of developing certain health issues.
A vitamin is an organic compound, which means that it contains carbon. It is also an essential nutrient that the body may need to get from food."Source
Forms of vitamins
There are two forms of vitamins, which are
(1) water soluble vitamins
(2)fat soluble vitamins
| Fat soluble | Water soluble |
|---|---|
| Vitamin A | B vitamins |
| Vitamin D | Vitamin C |
| Vitamin E | |
| Vitamin K |
I'll be talking about different vitamins
(1) Vitamin A
Chemical names: retinol, retinal, and “the four carotenoids,” including beta carotene.
Function: It is essential for eye health.
Deficiency: This may cause night blindness and keratomalacia, which causes the clear front layer of the eye to grow dry and cloudy.
Good sources: These include liver, cod liver oil, carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, butter, kale, spinach, pumpkins, collard greens, some cheeses, eggs, apricots, cantaloupe melon, and milk.
(2) Vitamin B1
Chemical name: thiamine.
Function: It is essential for producing various enzymes that help break down blood sugar.
Deficiency: This may cause beriberi and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.
Good sources: These include yeast, pork, cereal grains, sunflower seeds, brown rice, whole grain rye, asparagus, kale, cauliflower, potatoes, oranges, liver, and eggs.
(3) Vitamin B2
Chemical name: riboflavin.
Function: It is essential for the growth and development of body cells and helps metabolize food.
Deficiency: Symptoms include inflammation of the lips and fissures in the mouth.
Good sources: These include asparagus, bananas, persimmons, okra, chard, cottage cheese, milk, yogurt, meat, eggs, fish, and green beans.
(4) Vitamin B5
Chemical name: pantothenic acid.
Function: It is necessary for producing energy and hormones.
Deficiency: Symptoms include paraesthesia.
Good sources: These include meats, whole grains, broccoli, avocados, and yogurt.
(5) Vitamin C
Chemical name: ascorbic acid.
Function: It contributes to collagen production, wound healing, and bone formation. It also strengthens blood vessels, supports the immune system, helps the body absorb iron, and acts as an antioxidant.
Deficiency: This may result in scurvy, which causes bleeding gums, a loss of teeth, and poor tissue growth and wound healing.
Good sources: These include fruit and vegetables, but cooking destroys vitamin C.
(6) Vitamin D
Chemical names: ergocalciferol, cholecalciferol.
Function: It is necessary for the healthy mineralization of bone.
Deficiency: This may cause rickets and osteomalacia, or softening of the bones.
Good sources: Exposure to UVB rays from the sun or other sources causes the body to produce vitamin D. Fatty fish, eggs, beef liver, and mushrooms also contain the vitamin.Source
TEXT RIGHT FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS :This vitamins stays longer in the body because they can be stored, they leave the body via feaces, they are toxic when consumed in excess.
