• The human body is composed of a series of complex chemical reactions. These chemical reactions occur with the help of enzymes, and the primary function of vitamins is to help our bodies create those enzymes, and help the enzymes complete their jobs. When the chemical reactions occur, the vitamins get used up and so the body needs more vitamins on a daily basis. Without vitamins, chemical reactions that depend on those vitamins come to a stop and the result can be catastrophic. Vitamins cannot be manufactured inside the human body and must come from food. • Plants manufacture all of the vitamins humans need except for vitamins D, B12, and (to a large extent) vitamin A. Vitamins help a plant with the process of photosynthesis. The more photosynthesis a plant has going on, the higher the level of vitamins will be contained in that plant. This is why light colored vegetables like iceberg lettuce have lower levels of vitamins than darkcolored vegetables like kale and spinach. Cont’d next page!

VITAMIN A

• Vitamin A is found in animal products such as organ meat, full fat milk, butter, and cod liver oil. It’s also present in some vegetables such as dark leafy greens and foods rich in beta carotene such as carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and cantaloupe. But the amount of vitamin A in plants is tiny compared to the amount in animal matter.

• Vitamin A is stored in the liver, so the human body can usually survive up to a year without taking in any vitamin A at all. But after that, a person who is not receiving any vitamin A will first experience night blindness and then go blind entirely. This problem is particularly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The World Health Organization estimates that between 500,000 and a million children go blind every year, and up to 90% of those children die of complications related to their vitamin deficiency. • Today, over 70 countries have programs to deliver vitamin A supplementation to its populations in order to reduce child mortality and blindness.

VITAMIN B

IT MAY BE INFECTED!!! Computer Running Slow? Programs Not Loading?

• Pregnant women need to get enough B9 (also called folic acid) or their child runs the risk of being born with neurological damage. The amount of B9 that is needed each day during pregnancy is equal to about the weight of 4 grains of salt. Beans, lentils, and spinach are high in vitamin B9. • The amount of vitamin B12 needed each day is even less than that, equivalent to 1/67th of a single grain of salt. But without that tiny amount, the result is memory loss, depression, nerve damage, and anemia. Vitamin B12 is primarily present in animal-based foods such as meat and eggs, which makes strict vegans susceptible to deficiency. Cont'd next page!

VITAMIN C

• Vitamin C is necessary for the production of collagen. Collagen is the protein that forms connective tissues that hold our bodies together. The word collagen comes from the Greek word for glue. Without collagen, the body breaks down, an illness called scurvy. • Between the time Columbus landed in the New World in 1492 and the time steam engines made ocean travel speedy in the mid-1800s, it’s estimated that over 2 million sailors died of scurvy. On any given voyage, about half of the sailors would die of scurvy, which was more than died of shipwreck, combat, storms, and diseases combined. • James Lind was a Scottish doctor who helped discover the connection between vitamin C and the prevention of scurvy. In 1747 he took 12 sailors who were all suffering from scurvy and divided them into six pairs. All the men ate the same food and lived in the same quarters but he gave each pair a different remedy to try to cure them. The remedies were widely varied and included such things as garlic, seawater, and cream of tartar. But the two sailors whose remedy included citrus fruit recovered from their scurvy so quickly that they were able to assist the doctor in his experiments. Lind largely failed to recognize the significance of this discovery and scurvy continued to plague sailors for many decades to come.

VITAMIN D

• Vitamin D is not naturally available in very many foods. The best sources are fatty fish such as tuna, salmon, mackerel, and cod liver oil. However, the body is able to synthesize its own vitamin D through exposure to ultraviolet light. When you take a vitamin D pill, the contents of that pill may have originated with lanolin from sheep’s wool. Cont'd next page!

The healthiest and safest doses of vitamins are the ones that appear naturally in food. Taking too much vitamin D on a regular basis can eventually cause calcium deposits in places where calcium deposits don’t belong, such as your arteries or kidneys. Excess vitamin D can also interfere with blood clotting. Too much vitamin A can cause liver damage, birth defects, and death in extreme cases. Too much vitamin C can cause kidney stones.

TOO LITTLE OF A GOOD THING

• In World War II the Nazis cut off all supplies headed for Holland. Famine set in quickly. About 22,000 people died of starvation and another quarter of a million were made ill. The average weight loss among the population was about 20% of body weight. Nine months after the famine ended, the birth rate dropped by 50%.

• After the war ended, researchers wanted to find out how that period of starvation affected the citizens who survived it. They were not surprised to find that children who had been in the womb when their mothers experienced starvation had increased risk of physical and mental health problems as they grew into adults. They suffered from higher rates of depression, cardiovascular problems, and type 2 diabetes. But researchers were very surprised to find that these negative effects extended not only to the children but also to the grandchildren of the people who had been involved. The grandchildren of the mothers who had experienced starvation also grew up to have higher than normal levels of health problems, all due to famine conditions suffered by their grandparents.

--The results of a long-term Swedish study suggest that help for our aging brains might be as close as the vitamin aisle in the drugstore. Vitamin B-12 was shown to slow the rate of brain aging ... probably. Homocysteine, a non-protein amino acid, is the culprit in increasing the rate of brain aging, and vitamin B-12 slows that rate. Between 2001 and 2009, some 500 participants over age 60 were examined and assessed, including medical history, cognitive function and B-12 levels. Brain volume was measured during the study. Higher levels of B-12 seemed to help lower the rate of homocystein. Not all researchers are sold on the conclusions, however. Maybe it’s another lifestyle health factor that’s involved. They do think that trials are warranted, with more in-depth looks at the“NATIONAL” levels of homocysteine and B-12.

* It was early 20th-century Irish author Robert Wilson Lynd who made the following sage observation: “The belief in the possibility of a short decisive war appears to be one of the most ancient and dangerous of human illusions.” * If you find yourself with a dull pair of scissors, try this trick: Fold a piece of sandpaper in half, rough side out, and make repeated cuts until the blades are sharp again. * The word “infant” is derived from the Latin word “infans,” which means “unable to speak.” * If you’re a pet owner, you probably know that the epidemic of obesity is not limited to humans; many pets are overweight, too. You might be surprised to learn, though, that some pet owners choose to deal with the problem in a way that we usually associate only with people: liposuction. Yes, you can get cosmetic surgery for your pets. *** Thought for the Day: “I was a late bloomer. But anyone who blooms at all, ever, is very lucky.” -- Sharon Olds (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
