Why are vitamins necessary for our health?

Vitamins are organic substances that are necessary for normal health and growth in both animals and humans. In the event that a vitamin is missing from the eating routine, or we don’t as expected assimilate it, a particular lack disease may develop.

Even more regrettable, our whole body may begin a decrease that, over a time of years, may develop into an intense disease, for example, diabetes, malignancy, heart disease, and so forth.


That there is a connection between what we eat and explicit disease was first noted by the Englishman William Fletcher in 1905 while exploring the reasons for the disease beriberi. He saw that the disease was prevented by eating unpolished as opposed to cleaned rice. He inferred that the husk of rice should have exceptional supplements, which we know today as vitamins.

Even before this disclosure, fruits and vegetables were known to prevent and cure numerous diseases. Even however what we presently know as “vitamins” were unknown, a large number of their advantages were all around perceived.

Even today English mariners are known as “Limeys” since, when limes were added to their weight control plans, they not, at this point experienced scurvy.
While vitamins prevent and cure some particular diseases, they additionally are necessary for virtually every capacity inside our bodies.

In light of hefty publicizing, we partner Vitamin C with preventing/battling colds. In truth, Vitamin C doesn’t prevent or battle a virus. It reinforces and fortifies our immune system which assaults the cool germs.

Vitamin C performs numerous other significant capacities inside the body. A significant capacity is combination of hydroxyproline, a significant component of collagen and, along these lines, every single connective tissue.

Vitamin C is fundamental for growth of ligament, bone and teeth, and for wound recuperating. It adds to the design of bones, muscles, and veins.

Vitamin C aides support the immune system, helps amino corrosive digestion and iron ingestion.

Another vitamin – B6, doesn’t have a standing however great as Vitamin C yet it could be as crucial for great health. Vitamin B6 can’t guarantee emotional and prompt “cures” for diseases like scurvy, beriberi, or colds like different vitamins, yet it is known as the expert vitamin in preparing amino acids.


It is assessed that half of Americans are lacking in Vitamin B6.


The equivalent is valid for virtually every vitamin. Without a legitimate stock of vitamins, the body develops disease.

A few diseases, like beriberi and scurvy, show up rapidly and drastically. Different diseases, like heart disease and malignancy, require years to develop. They go undetected for a long time until it could be past the point of no return.

Since the body is a “shut system”, vitamins, similar to every other supplement, should come from the food we consume. The chief wellsprings of vitamins are the fruits and vegetables we consume.

In 1936 the US Government delivered a report that obviously and earnestly expressed that the dirts used to develop our food items are so exhausted of minerals that: “We know that vitamins are unpredictable synthetic substances which are basic to nourishment, and that every one of them is of significance for normal capacity of some extraordinary design in the body. Turmoil and disease result from any vitamin insufficiency. It isn’t commonly acknowledged, in any case, that vitamins control the body’s apportionment of minerals, and without minerals they have no capacity to perform. Lacking vitamins, the system can utilize minerals, yet deficient with regards to minerals, vitamins are futile.”

Things have not improved in 70 years. Indeed, they have deteriorated.

A whole industry has appeared due to this reality. Vitamins are consumed by 43% of Americans, yet we proceed to experience the ill effects of preventable diseases that were unknown 50 years prior.

Examination researchers have since quite a while ago suggested that nutritional supplements are significant to our health and prosperity. This is particularly evident when we think about our drawn out health.

Furthermore, presently the American Medical Association, in a huge break from its previous position that vitamins only produce shaded pee, concurs that every American requirements to take nutritional supplements.

In addition to the fact that vitamins are absent from the fruits and vegetables we consume, yet cancer prevention agents, minerals, compounds, amino acids, fundamental unsaturated fats, and fiber are additionally absent.

Nutritional supplements that give only one, or a set number of components, can give a bogus sensation of prosperity.


It is ridiculous to accept that the food we eat is missing only one component required by our body.


At the point when the body needs one component it presumably needs many, even most, just in light of the fact that the wellspring of the components is lacking. Adding only one component to the eating routine not just overlooks the way that the essential eating regimen is inadequate however gives an incorrect feeling that all is well with the world that we are adjusting a health issue.
