Vitamins
Vitamins are nutrients that our bodies need in tiny amounts. Normally food that we eat is broken down and processed to create various compounds that we need in order to function properly. Vitamins however usually cannot be made in the body so we need to obtain them directly from the food we eat.
Humans need 13 vitamins and these are divided into 2 groups:
Water soluble:
There are 9 vitamins in this group. These include the 8B vitamins and Vitamin C. Water soluble vitamins cannot be stored easily in the body and so we need to be careful to get a continuous supply of these vitamins.
Fat soluble:
There are 4 vitamins in this group. These are vitamins A,D,E and K. These vitamins can be stored in the body.
The best way to get your supply of daily vitamins is to eat a diet rich in high fibre fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, oils and lean meats. In western society our diet has changed to include large quantities of processed white flour and sugar. These foods are depleted of vitamins and actually require extra vitamins to aid in their digestion. These foods are often referred to as anti nutrients.
If we find that because of a busy lifestyle it is not always possible to prepare fresh food, it may be necessary to consider taking a daily multivitamin supplement. In fact according to the Harvard School of Public Health a daily multivitamin is a very good insurance policy against vitamin deficiency.

Hi Ann,
I’m Rui From John Masterclass program. I’m Portuguese but living in Malaysia – Kuala Lumpur.
Your blog is very beautifull and indeed in an area that is very important.
A tip from someone that had mad extreme diets (I’m judo player) and had been in supluments industry for the last 6 years:
To control hunger protein is very important.
When we’re in diet, our body will need the aminoacids and if we dont provide them in the protein we eat he will get it from you muscles.
Then…less myscles, you burn les calories and then is even more difucult to lose weith.
To lose weight is good to replace 2 meals with protein shakes – theres a lot out there in the market.
Then drink a lot of water – 1 liter per 60pounds of weight and exercice.
Have a wonderfull day

Hi Ann,
Great Post. You are right, we do not eat properly these times. Our modern life is such busy that we do not take time to have a healthy meal. I personally take multivitamin supplement daily and I feel good.
Your style is nice and easy to read. Keep up the nice work.
You have an interesting and well written blog Ann. I also think I need to pay some attention to the topics you are writing about!
I wish you well for future success.
