Vitamin B is actually a group of eight distinct vitamins, B1 – thiamine B2 – riboflavin, B3 – niacin, B5 – pantothenic acid, B6 – pyridoxine, B7 – Biotin, B9 – folic acid, B12 – cyanocobalamin, known collectively as Vitamin B complex Vitamin B is water soluble, which explains all versions of effervescent supplements of vitamin B.

The B vitamins work in sync to support the health of many body systems. The B complex improves immune function, promotes the proper functioning of the nervous system, maintains the metabolic rate, increases mitosis and meiosis, and helps in the prevention of depression and cardiovascular diseases.

Thiamine is essential for the proper functioning of the brain, in particular the concentration, attention, emotion and well being. Vitamin B1 deficiency results in fatigue, psychosis, muscle weakness, numbness of limbs, lack of physical coordination, nerve damage, brain damage and even death. Thiamine is found in its greatest concentration in enriched flour, cereals, and wheat germ.

Riboflavin is important for the production of red blood cells, to control the growth and production of antibodies, and the use of oxygen by the body. Vitamin B2 also helps the absorption of fat and its excretion in healthy skin, nails and hair, and maintaining good vision. Riboflavin is found more commonly in dairy products like milk and cheese.

Niacin is very important for the proper functioning of the digestive system, for the appetite, and for healthy skin and nerves. Studies also suggest that increased doses of vitamin B3 lowers LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol, increases HDL cholesterol, the good cholesterol, and prevents hardening of the arteries. Sources of niacin are meat, fish, poultry, peanuts, milk and eggs.

The principal amount of pantothenic acid is its role in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy. It was also linked to an effective treatment of nerve damage, skin problems and respiratory problems. This member of the B complex is found in peas, beans, whole grains, fish and lean meat.

Vitamin B6 is crucial for the breakdown of proteins, and the effective use of the resulting amino acid, pyridoxine also assists in maintaining normal levels of blood sugar. Moreover, in conditions of shortage of calories, facilitates the obtaining of energy from carbohydrates.

Biotin helps the brain function and helps the functioning of the body in converting proteins into energy. The research also shows that it works together with vitamins B6, B9 and B12 to help reduce levels of homocysteine in the blood and thus the risk of heart attack. Biotin is present in poultry, fish, whole grains, oats, soybeans and bananas.

Folic acid or B9 is important for the production and maintenance of new cells, it is essential, in particular, both during pregnancy and infancy when cell growth is extremely rapid. Green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, liver and dried beans and peas are excellent sources of Vitamin B9.

Vitamins B12 and B9 are working together to produce healthy red blood cells. Cyanocobalamin also aids in the health of the central nervous system. There is only one source of vitamin B12, animal products, whether fish, poultry, milk or eggs.

Vitamin B deficiency leads to many health risks. However, a healthy and balanced diet is the key to an adequate intake of all members of the complex of B vitamins The use of dietary supplements of vitamin B is not necessary because an adequate amount of this vitamin is produced naturally by taking daily food.

It is through food consumption, and then we can intervene before they turn to drugs and foreign intervention, which can support the action but not always, unfortunately, resolve it. Introducing the diet foods rich in vitamin A but a small step forward may be decisive in solving the problem.

Vitamin A is found not only in fruits and vegetables like carrots and fruits orange coloration but also in products of animal origin such as liver, eggs, milk and derivatives. If healthy skin also goes by vitamin A acne sufferers a fortiori can not overlook this detail.

Supplements or nutritional supplements for sports are many, some are only composed of minerals, vitamins or other only by amino acids (proteins): energy drinks, herbal extracts, etc… If these products are used under the supervision of a nutritionist or sports physician, usually there are no problems, but generally those who do sports or physical activity independently, blindly assume supplements without knowing which ones are useful and what are harmful, and in uncontrolled doses, which can then more harm than good health.

It’s common desire for professional sports or amateur sports, want to increase muscle mass with minimal effort, and perhaps many people think that taking supplements of protein for a month will get a body similar to those of bodybuilders you see in magazines fitness .

But the reality is different.
Advertising very misleading, especially in the world of sports supplements, for which there is a serious and scientist literature available about it. On the contrary can be easily found in magazines and newspaper advertisements and fitness articles without any scientific basis, which causes widespread misinformation on the subject.

Many gyms and sports centers, welfare or sell products without neither permission nor health checks, usually of foreign origin, used without medical supervision. Many of these products cause irreversible damage to health, because nutrition labels are not declared the real components of the product, thus putting at risk the health of people who use them in other situations, the problem was not whether the product, but the massive doses taken with the idea that “the more you take, the more work” theory totally wrong. Another frequent error is to replace a meal with a glass or a bar of extra energy or integrator.

Energy products are used to give more strength and energy in a short period of time. Also help improve the metabolism of the mechanisms involved in the production of ATP, which is the energy of the cells. L ‘use of these products is totally legal, even if certain sports regulations prohibit the use of some products because of begging help athletes who use them, to the detriment of others, undermining the very concept of competition.
Those most at risk are adolescents and enthusiasts from the fitness world, because they have an interest in obtaining a more muscular body and with minimal effort, a little ‘as the magic potions that give immediate effects. In many cases, these situations are driven by instructors from gyms, for a pure commercial purpose. Moreover, many of these sports products have high prices: the risk of spending a lot then disappointed to stay or, at worst, get some health problem.
In the case of professional sports is evaluated case by case basis to determine if the athlete really needs an extra energy, but always under the control of a sports doctor or nutritionist specializing in sports.
In fact, exercisers only as a hobby or to keep in shape, has no need nor supplements energy drinks: just a balanced diet, adequate and controlled by a nutritionist. Just then remember that the consumption of these products does not increase significantly the yield, but only put at risk the health if not checked.

And yet, canned tomatoes, olive oil and eggs. The turnover of food products is estimated illegal immigrants in the Italian Farmers Confederation than two billion euros per year, with attendant risks to the health of consumers, and substantial damage to agricultural producers against Italians. Very often, the case of food products that have not expiration date, with countries like China from which a bit ‘of everything: tomatoes and garlic through the vegetables, apples and vegetables.

It must therefore be careful not to be attracted by food products sold at prices far lower than current retail and in any case, you should prefer products with the label, and even those sold through direct sales, i.e. at markets that directly manage the farmers. This way you can be sure to buy local products.

It is well known the great qualities and nutritional values inside the fruit and fish along with vegetables, are necessary nutrients that must become common in the menu of our baby. But now, it has also known the results of a study by the School of Public Health Harvard University, that the consumption of fruit and fish helps combat the symptoms of childhood asthma.

This study, published in the American magazine “Health Day News,” stresses that vitamin C in fruit and omega 3s from fish, help considerably to alleviate and reduce unpleasant respiratory distress experienced by children with this problem health.

The author of this study, Jane Burns, has determined that, after having been studied a good number of children and their dietary habits found that those who eat a minimum amount of vitamin C and Omega 3 fatty acids, tend to have a better lung function. Noting also that a low intake of vitamin E is associated directly with an increase in asthma in those who already have it.

But the low consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids, containing the fish, was associated with an increase of developing chronic bronchitis, wheezing and asthma. In fact, those that fall below the minimum daily intake of this nutrient, are 70 percent more likely to have asthma.

So come to the conclusion that this study is the importance of caring for our food, especially in children. A healthy diet helps the airways directly. Although it is not advisable to use multivitamins, this doctor advised us to advise us by our pediatrician that will help us to develop a balanced and healthy diet for our youngster.
