VITAMIN INFORMATION
Good nutrition, including plenty of vitamins and minerals, is important for everyone, including children. Getting proper nutrition in today's fast paced society is difficult at best. Fast food restaurants offer high fat, high carb and high caloric foods. These types of foods are often lacking in essential nutrients our bodies need on a daily basis. If we lead sedentary lives, we are at an increased risk of developing heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, and a whole host of other serious or fatal diseases. We then spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on medical care while our bodies become less and less healthy.
Children often don't get the recommended daily value of many crucial vitamins and minerals from their diet alone. Others are finicky or don't like swallowing or chewing pills. Nutritionists tell you to make sure your child eats a wide variety of foods, including plenty of fruits and vegetables. This may be easier said than done.
The following is a brief description of essential vitamins and minerals our bodies need on a daily basis for maximum health:
Vitamin A: is essential for eye function.
Vitamin C: is helpful in enhancing resistance to germs and boosting the immune system.
Vitamin D: helps prevent serious diseases, especially in children.
Vitamin E: protects the body from damaging free-radicals.
Thiamin (Vitamin B1): assists and regulates carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): is essential to energy generation and nerve development.
