VITAMINS Vitamins are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Vitamins are called micronutrients because they are needed in only very small quantities. They all have chemicals names but they are usually referred to by letters.
VITAMINS - Two main categories Water soluble B C Fat Soluble A D E K
Vitamin A – 2 forms; Retinol and Beta- Carotene Retinol Named because of its concern with retina of eye Beta-Carotene Plant sources Present with chlorophyll in plants, converted to Vitamin A in gut wall
Vitamin A - Retinol and Beta-Carotene Functions Regulates growth Promotes healthy skin Maintenance of healthy tissues Helps eye adapt to dim light The moisturising vitamin! Sources Retinol - Cod liver oil, Liver, Dairy products , Egg yolk Beta-Carotene Dark green leafy vegetables, Broccoli, Carrots, Deep orange fruits and vegetables
Vitamin A - Retinol and Beta-Carotene Effects of deficiency Retarded growth, malformed bones Long term-may lead to night blindness Susceptibility to infection Excess beta-carotene may lead to liver and bone damage
Vitamin D -Calciferols Functions Absorption and laying down of calcium and phosphorous in bones and teeth Regulates calcium balance between bones and blood Prevents rickets Sources Sunlight conversion Fish liver oils Dairy products Oily fish Margarine
Vitamin D -Calciferols Effects of deficiency *Rickets in children and *osteomalacia in adults **Osteoporosis Dental caries * Conditions where bones are soft and cannot take weight of body ** Bones become light, less dense and prone to fractures
Vitamin E - Tocopherol Functions Protects tissues against damage Promotes normal growth and development Helps in normal red blood cell formation Sources Pure vegetable oils Wheat wholemeal bread and Cereals egg yolk nuts sunflower seeds
Vitamin E - Tocopherol Effects of deficiency Deficiency is very rare but it could affect the central nervous system
Vitamin K - Napthoquinone Functions Needed for blood clotting, which means it helps wounds heal properly. There is increasing evidence that vitamin K is also needed to help build strong bones. Sources Green leafy veg Vegetable oil Cereals
Vitamin K - Napthoquinones Effects of deficiency Deficiency is very rare but individuals with liver damage and new born infants are at a higher risk
Vitamin B 1 - Thiamin Functions Essential for release of energy from carbohydrates Necessary for appetite and good health Needed for normal functioning of nervous system S o u rc e s Meat Oatmeal Breakfast cereals Wheat Fortified white flour Milk Eggs V e g e t a b l e s
Vitamin B 1 - Thiamin Deficiency Fatigue, d e p r e ssi o n, irritability Beri-beri - disease of nervous system
Vitamin B 2 -Riboflavin Functions Metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats Growth, repair, development of body tissues - healthy skin, eyes and tongue The principal growth promoting factor in the vitamin B complex S o u r c e s Milk Cheese Eggs Yeast extracts Green Vegetables
Vitamin B 2 -Riboflavin Deficiency Loss of appetite Swollen tongue, cracked lips, eye infection,
Vitamin B3 -Niacin Functions Metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats Needed for normal functioning of nervous system Sources Meat , Yeast extracts Yeast Bran, wheat, flour Some pulses, dried fruit
Vitamin B3 -Niacin Deficiency Fatigue, d e p r e s s i o n , irritability
Vitamin B9 -Folic Acid Functions Red blood cell formation Development of brain, spinal cord and skeleton in foetus Reduces risk of neural tube defects May play role preventing heart attacks, strokes and cancer Sources Fortified cereals Green leafy vegetables Potatoes bread Milk Wheat
Vitamin B9 -Folic Acid Deficiency Fatigue in mild cases Anaemia in severe cases Neural tube defects Important to take folic acid prior to conception and vital during first 3 months pregnancy
Vitamin C -Ascorbic Acid Functions immune system Formation of connective tissue, collagen Helps absorption of iron Prevents scurvy Promotes healing of wounds and healthy blood vessels Acts as antioxidant, protects cholesterol Sources , green peppers, kiwi, citrus fruits, s t ra w b e rr i e s, spinach, cabbage, broccoli
Vitamin C -Ascorbic Acid Deficiency Weakening of connective tissue Susceptibility to infection Incomplete iron absorption Delayed healing of wounds Prevent scurvy - pale skin with spots, bleeding, soft gums.
MINERALS Our body requires mineral elements for a variety of functions. They are also known as micronutrients.
MINERALS Trace Minerals - are iron, zinc and iodine. Major Minerals - are sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus.
MINERALS Minerals have 4 major functions: Body building – teeth and bones Control of body processes, especially the nervous system Essential part of body fluids and cells Form part of enzymes and other proteins necessary for the release of energy
Iron Functions Production of haemoglobin in red blood cells to carry oxygen in the blood Sources Red meat Kidney Liver Eggs Bread Green veg Deficiency Anaemia
Calcium Functions Teeth and bones. Blood clotting. Nerve and muscle contraction. Heart regulation Sources Dairy products fortified white bread oily fish green veg nuts and seeds citrus fruits. Deficiency Stunted growth can cause rickets, osteoporosis.
Phosphorus Fu nc tio ns Bones and teeth with calcium. Muscle contraction Sources Dairy products Nuts Meat Fish foods rich in calcium Deficiency Rarely deficient but could cause tiredness and depression
S o di um Functions Maintains water balance in the body and controls body temperature, helps you sweat when body temp rises. Sources Cheese smoked meats Fish processed foods table salt . Deficiency Deficiency is highly unlikely
Potassium Sources Banana Functions Muscle contraction and in maintaining fluid. It is necessary for the building of muscle and for normal body growth. Deficiency Dry skin, acne, Muscle spasms
Zinc Sources Meat Oats Eggs Nuts Functions Everything from acne to diabetes. Aids the immune system. Needed for the senses of smell and taste. Deficiency Dry skin, acne, Muscle spasms
Iodine Functions Thyroid gland function (controls how quickly the body uses energy) and body metabolism Sources Animal and plat life from the sea Milk Eggs Yogurt Deficiency Particularly in children, fall in the production of thyroid hormones
Vaccines & sera Vaccine: A substance used to stimulate production of antibodies and provide immunity against disease. Sera/serum: liquid that injected into someone's blood to protect them against poison or disease.( antisnake venom serum ) 14/06/2020 67
