Vitamins - Essential Supplements for Healhty Lifestyle

We are familiar with the fact that vitamins are important for a healthy living and that these vitamins are available in the foods we eat and drink. We have all heard about various information about vitamins and their importance but do you really know why vitamins are so vital and why your body need them?

Well here's a brief analysis of some of the most essential vitamins and how they help you.

Vitamin A. You should take between 8,000 to 10000 IU per day. This vitamin helps to stimulate cell reproduction. It also increases immunity to disease and is an essential element in the formation of certain hormones. Vitamin A can enhance your vision and also helps to keep healthy hair and skin. A deficiency in Vitamin A can lead to night blindness, poor bone growth, and dry skin. One of the most ways to get your Vitamin A is through fortified milk. Vitamin A has been added to milk for years. You can also take supplements to ensure you are getting the minimum daily requirements.

2. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine). This vitamin plays an important role in helping the cells to convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also vital for effective functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system. If yo lack vitamin B1, you tend to feel tired and weak. Most fruits and vegetables have very little B1 so a supplement is a good option here.

3. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin). This vitamin is also very important to help turn food into energy. And it is also an essential factor to help progress a healthy eyesight, skin, muscles and nervous system. You normally find this vitamin in enriched breads and cereals as well as dairy products.

4. Vitamin C. This is one of the best immune system boosters. It also helps to maintain and repair connective tissue, teeth, and bones. This vitamin is also useful to increase the capacity of your body's iron absorbing levels. A deficiency of vitamin C can lead to constant sore throat, skin rashes, and even a purple tongue. And remember to take plenty of vitamin C if you want to avoid the cold and flu this winter.

There are a number of other vitamins which are important as well. And many of the vitamins become more effective when they are taken with other vitamins. So if you want to make it sure that you are obtaining at least the minimum advised daily allowances, take a good multivitamin instead of worrying about separate doses of different types.
