COURSE OF NUTRITION AND FEEDING
VITAMINS.
The vitamins are substances that the organism needs to assimilate other nutrients, to regulate the nervous system and to help to the formation of the genetic material and of the proteins, the red globules and the hormones. As the body it cannot produce certain vitamins, and other it produces them in insufficient quantity, he/she has to obtain them of the allowances.
Since some of the vitamins are destroyed by effect of the natural light and when keeping the allowances, these they should be as fresh as it is possible; in particular, it is necessary to avoid to cook in excess the vegetables. The vitamins B spread to be dissolved in the juice of the meat, for what is advisable not to throw this but using it as sauce.
THE COMPLEMENTS VITAMÍNICOS.
If the feeding is varied and balanced, few times it will be necessary to take complements vitamínicos; these they cannot substitute to the natural allowances because they don't contain nutritious energy and because they lack fiber. For most of people the problem is not the lack of vitamins in the organism but the excess of calories, fatty, sugar and sodium.
But there are times in that if they are needed. For example, you drink them they need vitamin D, and the pregnant adolescents that not yet have finished their stage of growth, they usually need complements polivitamínicos and of minerals; in general, to all the gestantes they are advised to take folic acid supplements.
The vegetarians abstain of all food of animal origin, they usually need supplements of vitamins B12 and of other nutrients, and people that ingest less than 1600 daily calories during long periods, possibly need to compensate the inadequacy of vitamins.
Some of the hereditary illnesses affect the metabolism of the vitamins, the chronic intestinal dysfunctions, the surgical interventions and certain lingering treatments can make necessary the complements vitamínicos and of minerals. The alcoholics spread to suffer certain grade of malnutrition, because they don't feed well and their organism doesn't absorb certain minerals and vitamins, in particular the folic acid and other components of the group B; for that reason they are advised to take complements until they have conquered the alcoholism and have fed with normality again.
TO TAKE COMPLEMENTS WITH GOOD SENSE.
The form but sensible of taking complements vitamínicos it consists on following the instructions of the I prescribe; in any event, it is necessary to ask him which are the sure doses.
The vitamins and the minerals, even when it is very concentrated fármacos, they can be obtained non-prescription it prescribes, that which doesn't mean that to take them it can be done without of the common sense. When he/she takes very big dose of certain nutrients, one runs the risk of suffering harmful goods; there are complements vitamínicos that can be from 10 to 100 times but potent that the convenient thing for certain people, and their goods, logically, are very harmful, mainly in the case of the children and in particular when it is very concentrated dose of vitamins An and D that accumulate with much it facilitates in the fabrics of the organism.
Unless the one prescribes he/she has prescribed to take certain complement, him but wise it is to appeal those whose concentration is moderate and that they contain diverse vitamins (polivitamínicos) and minerals. The fármacos that that they compose of a single vitamin or mineral they are as a rule very concentrated.
The best thing is to take the complements together with the since allowances the organism it will absorb them with but easiness and efficiency, but it is preferable not to leave them on the table, because the children can ingest them with easiness for curiosity and with serious consequences. On the other hand, neither in convenient, to keep them in a place where he/she forgets to take them. You has reached the conclusion that the natural vitamins, derived of the eatable products, he/she doesn't have any advantage compared with the purely synthetic vitamins; the organism doesn't distinguish between some and others. Nevertheless the complements that are announced as "natural" they are usually but expensive; also, certain marks differ of others as for dose and to the type of nutrients that you/they contain, but apart from this they are similar I save for the price.
Dos substances, incorrectly denominated vitamins B15 and B17, are in fact sour pengamico, or pangamato, and laetril. Any utility of the sour pangamico has not been demonstrated in story to nutrition, and the laetril it contains cyanide and, therefore it is dangerous.
It is necessary to insist in that the complements vitamínicos, for concentrate that are, neither they prevent neither cure the flu; on the other hand, their wrong use can make that it increases the risk of suffering renal and biliary calculations, diarrhea, irritation of you go them urinarias and formation of clots in the blood. Tests scientific that this complements don't exist they are good for the treatment of the schizophrenia, the hiperactividad, the arthritis, the dysfunctions geriatrics. The depression, the neurosis, the alcoholism neither the mental deficiency. Before taking we complete vitamínicos, it is necessary to consider if the daily feeding fulfills the relating minimum requirements to each I contain of nutritious. If it doesn't complete them, it is probable that there is not alone a deficiency of vitamins and minerals but, also, an excess of fat, sugar and calories. The complements don't substitute a healthy feeding.
