The B vitamins, not being cumulative in the body, must be taken daily through food or with the support of supplements, in order not to suffer from deficiencies.
What are the B vitamins?
Vitamin B12, which promotes the replacement of red blood cells, strengthens the body's natural defenses and helps fight flu, colds and seasonal ailments. It also helps produce dopamine and norepinephrine, two hormones that the adrenal glands produce to lower stress levels; Vitamin B6, a panacea for mood: it is taken to counteract stress, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and insomnia; Vitamin B2 which, like vitamin B3, participates in the metabolism of fats, amino acids and carbohydrates. It is precisely from the metabolism of these elements that the body draws the energy it needs to support the commitments of daily life; Vitamin B9 or folic acid, which plays an important role in the proper functioning of the nervous system. It is also useful for controlling the balance of homocysteine, an element which, if in excess, can compromise the structure of blood vessels.
Another essential vitamin for our well-being is Vitamin D which helps the correct mineralization of bones and teeth, and always maintains an optimal level of calcium in the blood. In addition, it is good for the kidneys, arteries and even the tissues of the body. It also has recognized benefits for our immune system against certain infections, protects the heart and helps keep other diseases related to cartilage and muscles away.To produce vitamin D our body needs sunlight as this vitamin is a prohormone that is formed when our skin comes into contact with the sun. Although vitamin D is also contained in some foods, it is only minimally, compared to the amount produced by the epidermis.Therefore, to fill up on vitamin D, especially in winter, it is suggested to integrate it into the diet.Last but not least, vitamin C, which is undoubtedly one of the best known and most sought after vitamins.
