All About Vitamins: How do they benefit you?

Vitamins are a real hype nowadays-- multivitamins, vitamin supplements, foods containing vitamins: the product market is chock-full of things that promote vitamin intake. Especially in the hectic lives we lead, the running-around doesn’t allow us to maintain our diets such that the food we eat gives us even the bare minimum of nutrients our bodies require.

It’s only natural then to turn to vitamins from other sources; however, we must keep in mind when taking vitamins that they’re not a replacement for a healthy diet.

What are vitamins then and why do we need them?

Vitamins are organic compounds that people need in small quantities. Most vitamins need to come from food because the body either does not produce them or produces very little.

For example, humans need to get vitamin C from their diets — while dogs can produce all the vitamin C that they need. Vitamin D, the Sun Vitamin, is called that for a reason-- it’s not available in large enough quantities in food. The human body synthesizes the vitamin when exposed to sunlight.

There are currently 13 recognized vitamins, and different vitamins play different roles in the body-- a person requires a different amount of each vitamin to stay healthy.

What are the benefits of taking vitamin supplements or a vitamin-rich diet?

As discussed, vitamins are essential for the body to function properly. There are many benefits to be derived from vitamins and a lot to lose if we don’t regulate our intake.

Below are some of the many benefits of taking vitamins:

1. Promotes healthy ageing

As you age, it becomes harder for the body to absorb the much-needed nutrients and particular medications may drain nutrients further-- in this case, there are various vitamins that can help reset your nutrient levels.

2. Reduces Anxiety and Stress

The minerals and vitamins in your daily multivitamins can significantly reduce levels of anxiety and stress. To convert food into energy, the body utilizes vitamins. Such vitamins are also beneficial to keep your nervous system functioning properly. 

3. Supports Your Immune System

With today’s current climate, your immune system is more important than ever, so it only makes sense that you try and nurture it as much as possible.
