On some occasions when we feel more exhausted than normal, we think that this is due to the lack of vitamins in our body and immediately without consulting a doctor, we bought a bottle of vitamin components, to according to us, almost miraculously feel ourselves more full of energy. But we’ve never stopped to think, are necessary the vitamin supplements?
Frequently, we do not know for sure whether or not it is necessary take these supplements, only we assume that the vitamins are beneficial, so it is extremely important to be aware about the consumption of the same, considering all the aspects involved.
Therefore, the first thing that we need to know, is that the vitamin supplements are products ready to be ingested in pills, capsules or syrups; and they are intended to compensate for the lack of energy in our body, either by a poor diet or by a condition in which there is a nutritional deficit, as in the case of pregnant women or the elderly.
Well, according to the above it is established that one of the causes of this deficiency is actually the lack of nutrition, referring to that does not provide the necessary amounts of vitamins for the good performance of our functions, that is to say, that if we pay special attention to what we eat, we can fill that gap with only make adjustments in our daily menu.
Similarly, the consumption of vitamins for pregnant women are indicated under medical order, in order to contribute to the development of the fetus, an extra components and minerals, such as folic acid, iron, vitamins A, B6, D, E and K; counteracting in this way any deficiency during the gestation process of the baby. The same goes for the elderly, who generally must consume B12 vitamin supplements, to improve various health conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease, memory loss, moods and problems of the heart, to mention a few.
On the other hand, other errors associated with the consumption of vitamin supplements is to believe that can help us to have more energy, being this not entirely true, because a pill of vitamin “momentary” will not going to bring us energy just for consume it, although will help in the metabolic process, there is no connection between take a supplement and feel more energized.
In short, the vitamin supplements are necessary, but only when a specialist determines it, after a medical consultation to demonstrate the need for the same. We must not think that vitamins are “miracle medicines”. It is best to make the necessary changes in our diet and lifestyle to enjoy good health.
