Summary

• Water soluble vitamin weak in water
• Strong against acid and heat
• It is easily decomposed into strong light and alkali
• Vitamin B2 requirement increases in proportion to lipid intake
• Vitamin B2 burns fat, so it is effective for diet and fatigue recovery
• Keep the function of skin and mucous membrane normal

Characteristics of nutrients

• It is mainly present in animal foods (rarely in vegetable foods)
• Water-soluble vitamin
• Oxidized by light and air
• Called “vitamins of hematopoiesis”
• Helps to synthesize hemoglobin
• It is based on the synthesis of amino acids together with folic acid
• Attention when the stomach is weak because it is absorbed together with the secretory substance of the stomach

Function of nutrients

• Prevention of malignant anemia
• Synthesize nucleus of nerve cell
• Protein synthesis
• Synthesis of nucleic acids
• Synthesis of erythrocytes
• Preparing the rhythm of sleep

When nutrients are deficient

• Malignant anemia (headache, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite)
• Numbness of limbs, decrease of concentration
• Stiff shoulders, low back pain, neuralgia

When nutrients overdose

• No worry of excessive intake
• Even if overdosed, it is not absorbed more than necessary

Food that contains a lot of Vitamin B12

Summary

• Soluble in water with water soluble vitamins
• Much contained in animal food
• Even if you take too much, it is not absorbed more than necessary
• It is absorbed along with stomach secretions and tends to run out when the stomach is weak
• Involved in amino acid synthesis with folate
• It is water soluble, so it is recommended that you can eat the whole soup

Characteristics of nutrients

• Fat-soluble vitamin
• Rejuvenating vitamins (prevents lipid peroxide increase)
• Taking it with Vitamin C is effective
• Strong antioxidant activity

Function of nutrients

• antioxidant effect

• Blood circulation promotion
• Autonomic stabilization
• Prevention of rough skin (skin beautification effect)

When nutrients are deficient

• There is no shortage in normal eating habits
• Very rarely a neurological disorder
• Hormone secretion disorder
• Stiff shoulder

When nutrients overdose

• We do not intake excessively in normal dietary life
• Bleeding does not solidify

Food that contains a lot of Vitamin E

Summary

Characteristics of nutrients

• Water soluble vitamin
• It is vulnerable to heat and vulnerable to alkali
• Called fatigue recovery vitamin

Function of nutrients

• Adjustment of peripheral nerves of limbs
• Helps maintain health of the skin and mucous membranes
• The role of carbohydrate coenzyme (carbohydrate is the energy source of the brain)
• It converts carbohydrates to energy
• Vitamin B1 decreases in the process of alcohol decomposition
• Relieve hangover and fatigue

When nutrients are deficient

• beriberi
• Numbness of limbs, swelling
• Anorexia
• Get tired easily
• Difficulty walking, declining cardiac function
•  lose concentration

When nutrients overdose

• No need to worry because it is discharged outside the body even if overdose
• Ingestion of dietary supplement makes headache, insomnia

Food that contains a lot of Vitamin B1

Summary

• Vitamin B1 is a water soluble vitamin and is vulnerable to heat and alkali
• Frequently ingest excessive intake because it is excreted outside the body
• Hangover, has the effect of relieving tired feeling
• Convert carbohydrates smoothly to energy
• Consumed in large quantities owing to consumption of drinking alcohol, sweet foods and the like
• Absorption rate increases with simultaneous intake with garlic, onion, etc.

Characteristics of nutrients

• Fat-soluble vitamin
• For vegetable foods, provitamin D 2
  (It changes to vitamin D 2 by exposure to ultraviolet rays)
• For animal foods, provitamin D 3
  (It changes to vitamin D 3 by exposure to ultraviolet rays)

Function of nutrients

• Maintain normal calcium concentration in blood
• Help calcium deposit on bone

When nutrients are deficient

• Because it is generated by ultraviolet rays, there is no worry of deficiency
• Osteoporosis, osteomalacia
• Teeth wobble, lower jaw bones weaken

When nutrients overdose

• There is no intake of excessive vitamin D in normal diet
• Please be careful of overdose due to “supplements”
• Hypercalcemia (blood calcium concentration rises)
  Renal dysfunction
  Anorexia, vomiting, polyuria etc.

Food that contains a lot of Vitamin D

Summary

• Fat soluble vitamins → accumulated in the body
• Vitamin D2 and D3 become vitamin D in the body
• Work → Increase absorption of calcium and phosphorus
• Simultaneous intake with calcium and phosphorus is desirable
• Beware of overdose due to supplements

Characteristics of nutrients

• Fat-soluble vitamin
• Animal food contains vitamin A
• Botanical food contains β-carotene
