Right Combination Of Vitamins

Vitamins have a crucial part in our body’s chemistry processes
but many people fail to see the importance and eventually end
up getting ill or suffering because of their ignorance.
Many people assume that they can take most or all of the
needed vitamins and minerals strictly from their diet,
but this is not always true and it is a process that is different
from one person to another. Vitamins supplements come
as an alternative to a highly balanced diet,
which many of us just can’t keep to.
There are a few basic things that we should know about how to ensure
a good vitamin supply and reduce the chances of falling sick.

The first thing you should be aware of is that each of our bodies is
unique – there are notany two human beings exactly the same.
Because of this it is hard to come up with a precise dosage
of vitamins that you need on a daily basis. Vitamin intake is largely
dependant on your diet.
As many people already know, fruits and vegetables are the best source
for the top vitamins that we need to live a healthy life. They provide good amounts of vitamins A, C, D and E (and several others) that rank highest on the importance scale.

When your body receives fewer vitamins than it needs you will
experience several negative effects, manifested in different forms.
Too little C vitamin, for instance, will lower your defense mechanism
against viral infections; while a lack of the A vitamin can lead to
inferior eyesight. There are several factors that can cause a need for
more vitamins. You may need to help your body out with vitamin
supplements if you are eating erratically or if your main diet is
formed from fast food items or processed foods. Making physical
efforts for long periods of time also puts more stress on your
organism, which, in turn, will demand more resources in order
to restock your energy.

However, vitamin supplements should also be used carefully,
as they can lead to a vitamin overdose. Vitamins A and D, taken alone,
may have serious side effects if they are not
accompanied by other multi vitamin supplements.
Some people respond negatively to higher doses of C and E vitamins.
Calcium, an essential mineral for our bone system,
needs to be accompanied by D vitamin. Otherwise,
the body only keeps a small amount of Calcium and
eliminates the rest. The D vitamin helps your body absorb Calcium
better. Other mineral – vitamin combinations are especially
such as the B6 vitamin and Magnesium.
Tandems such as the ones mentioned above work well together
because each component balances the other by helping the body to make
the most of their presence.

Inadequate amounts of vitamins may lead to a weakened immune system
that is very permissive with viruses, highly increasing your chances
of getting sick. Tiredness, apathy and
low energy levels may also appear when your vitamin balance has been
altered.
