Why are vitamins important?
A good, well-balanced diet is important for maintaining good health. We get most vitamins from food. If
the food we eat doesn’t contain all the vitamins we need, we will probably develop a number of disorders.
The word “vitamin” was introduced by Casimir Funk, a Polish scientist, in 1912. The prefix “vita” comes
from Latin and it means “life”. Later research showed that Funk was right in recognizing the importance of
vitamins for life.
Scientists have discovered 13 different vitamins: A, B group, C, D, E, K etc.
Vitamin A prevents skin from drying out and it helps us see better in the dark. We can find it in fish oil,
the yellow part of eggs (yolk), carrots and pumpkins.
Vitamin B-1 helps the heart and nervous system work properly. Without it we could not grow. It is found
in nuts, meat, green vegetables.
Vitamin B-3 prevents a disease called pellagra. We can take this vitamin from meat, fish, cereals, dried
beans and peas, nuts.
Vitamin B-12 prevents anemia. Good sources of vitamin B-12 are eggs, meat and milk products.
Vitamin C is necessary for strong bones and teeth and for healthy blood vessels. It also helps wounds
heal faster. Food rich in vitamin C includes citrus fruits, tomatoes and raw cabbage.
Vitamin D is necessary for normal bone formation and it prevents a disease in children called rickets.
We can find it in fish liver oil. Ultraviolet rays from the sun help the formation of this vitamin in our body.
Vitamin K is needed for the coagulation of blood. It is produced in our body but we can also find it in
pork, liver, cabbage or spinach.
