| Group B vitamins and Weight Loss |
Do you know that there are women vitamins in a big vitamin family? These are
group B vitamins: their lack is first of all reflected on our appearance. We often do not suspect that insomnia, faded skin, acne, nail brittleness, early grey, and hair loss may be associated with lack of women’s vitamins.
Vitamins of group B were identified by one name because they are always together in natural products. Their main function - helping body to develop energy and participation in tissue breathing. Per day adults need approximately 1.8 mg of vitamin B. Their stocks are rapidly depleting in a group of smokers and alcohol abusers. Vitamin B2 and folic acid (vitamin B9) are particularly important during pregnancy, vitamins B6 and B12 - at the time of menopause.
Do not think only of fruits
As you know, our body does not produce and accumulate vitamins - they come together with food. However, taking
vegetables and fruits as main «suppliers» is confusing. That is not true: carrot contains only vitamin A, citrus fruits - vitamin C and group B vitamins are present, perhaps, only in bananas in large quantities.
Their main sources - cereals (all kinds of cereals and bread with bran), meat and dairy products. Thiamin, or Vitamin B1 is found in milk, brewer’s yeast, green peas, potato, riboflavin (B2) - in kefir, chicken meat, cod, pantothenic acid (B3) - in egg yolk, rice and wheat bran, vitamin B6 — in soybean, egg yolks, oat flour, yeast, folic acid - in chicken eggs, milk, cottage cheese, beef liver.
But in order to get a daily dose of, for example, vitamins B1 and B6, you have to eat a kilogram of bread gross, almost 1.5 kilograms of white or 500 grams of meat, and to obtain necessary quantities of vitamin B2 - 150 grams of liver (kidney) or 800 grams of cottage cheese. Agree, such menu is hardly ideal, as we would have to say goodbye to our thin waist. Therefore, a real solution - taking food supplements and complexes containing
vitamins of group B, in addition.
Beauty requires additive
Buying a vitamin complex at the pharmacy, do not search a whole periodic table on a label. Multivitamins should contain karatinoids, vitamin C and, of course,
vitamins of group B. All the rest is individual, and only after examination a doctor may recommend you a specific product with one or other minerals.
Vitamins of group B can be taken not only in the form of tablets. For early results you can have a course of injections with vitamins. Besides, science does not stand still, and now you can buy also vitamin drops in a drugstore. Biotin is a very good food additive. As for taste and odor, it reminds yeast, is taken by monthly course 3 times per day.
Incidentally, vitamin complexes should be changed from time to time. Do not be afraid to eat too much of vitamin B: it is digested well, and if suddenly becomes superfluous, it is secreted together with urine.
According to the Institute of Nutrition, from 40 to 80 percent of adult population has lack of
group B vitamins.
It is important
If you use antibiotics,
taking vitamins of group B is absolutely useless. Antibiotics inhibit gastric flora, because of what body stops producing enzymes, responsible for assimilation of vitamins. This phenomenon is called B12-deficiency anemia. But after withdrawal of antibiotics from body, you just need to support body and take a course of vitamins.
Vitamin cream will remove peeling
Many believe that washing hair with vitamin shampoos - exercise in futility. That is not true: it is worth remembering that type of hair is directly dependent on scalp condition, which just needs vitamins. For example, a high-quality shampoo with vitamin B12 will help with dryness and hair loss.
Vitamin facial skin creams are also useful. But buying means with
group B vitamins, remember: the best cream - not a panacea. Any vitamin means for face is good only in combination with high-quality peeling. If you apply cream with vitamins B properly, it helps getting rid of peeling and dryness.
But if skin needs more serious nutrition, than just vitamin creams, you can resort to salon procedures. Micro-current treatment is very effective: neutral gel conductor is combined with vitamin concentrate and using a special instrument they achieve penetration of vitamin in deep skin layers.
