Vitamins and. health'
When we talk about vitamins, we usually mean
th group of chemical compounds known a
VItamins A, S, C, D, E, K d folic acid. These
vitamin are present in. good upply in all natural
foods. There. are also ynth tic (m n-made)
vitamins. '
If you eat a balanced (tiet, your body will get the
normal requirements for these vitamins. You may
not need to purchase supplements If you eat well.
There are, however, people who do need vitamin
supplements. They are those who have poor eating
habits, under ,severe stress, have disease like
cancer, ha , had portion of their gastrointestinal
tract removed by surgery, alcoholics, drug addicts,
pregnant or breastfeeding mothers, those over the
age of 55, and those who have vitamin or minerai
deficiency .
There are others who could benefit from taking vitamin supplements. It is best to talk over
your health profile with your doctor.
MANY PEOPLE believe that some vitamins may help to prevent or cure certain Ulnesse .
For exam pie, many support the theory that large doses of VItamin C will ward off the common
. cold. People who do that r only m king Vitamin C .. 10 dad urine, since the body does not
store the extra Vitamin C,
TIME Magazine, In Its April e issu� reports that I rg do s of some vitamin may have
positive effects on cancer, heart dlsease'and aging.
It Is Important to have an understanding of what a balanced diet is before spending money
on vitamin supplements. A balanced diet means that one serving from each of the six classes
of food is incorporated into the three meals you eat each day. One class of food is protein,
which I found in m , poultry d fish. Carbohydrat come from -starch· foods like ftour,
pots oe ,rice, yams and com.
Vegetables and fruits Hke carr , turnips, broccoli, �agU8, tomatoe ,app ,pear,
bananas, watermelon and raisins provide es ntial nutrients. Fats are also Important, but
many doctors caution against the consumption of too many animal fats. W ter, and lots of it,
Is also Important for a healthy diet.
