©2002 Learning Zone Express 1 Vitamins  Food Sources: Fruits, vegetables, milk, whole-grain breads, cereals and legumes.  Unlike carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, vitamins DO NOT provide energy (calories).  Vitamins are individual units, not linked together

Vitamins  Function in the Body: To assist the enzymes that release energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins Required in small amounts (measured in milligrams (mg) or micrograms (μg)) ©2002 Learning Zone Express 2

Bioavailability of vitamins Depends on food content and the amount absorbed and used by the body Efficiency of digestion Other foods consumed at same time Method of food preparation Source of nutrient (synthetic, fortified, or natural) Some vitamins in food are available as precursors (inactive form) that must be chemically changed in the body to make it active Can be destroyed during food preparation ©2002 Learning Zone Express 3

There are 13 different vitamins known to be required each day for good health. Vitamins are separated into two types: Fat Soluble & Water Soluble Vitamins. ©2002 Learning Zone Express 4 Water soluble vitamins (are hydrophilic) Fat soluble vitamins (are hydrophobic) Vitamin C and B vitaminsVitamins A, D, E and K

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)  the average daily dietary intake of a nutrient that is sufficient to meet the requirement of nearly all (97-98%) healthy persons. This is the number to be used as a goal for individuals.  RDA is based on the amount of vitamins, minerals and other substances like fibre that we need - not only to prevent deficiencies, but also to lower the risk of chronic disease. ©2002 Learning Zone Express 5

Focus on Vitamin Bs  The action of B vitamins is interrelated  A deficiency in one can alter the absorption, metabolism and excretion of others  In North America, deficiencies are related more so to poor food choices, lack of variety of foods in a diet or/and substance abuse  Overuse of supplements can lead to toxicity because the quantities can overwhelm the cells ©2002 Learning Zone Express 6

 Most people should not need supplements – our bodies evolved to easily obtain the nutrients needed from a healthy diet ©2002 Learning Zone Express 7

Thiamine (B1)  Food source: yeast extract, pork, fortified breakfast cereals, enriched grain products and meatless soy products.  Beriberi – a disease caused by thiamine (B 1 ) deficiency – symptoms include damage to the nervous system, heart, and other muscles (common in malnourished people or alcoholics) ©2002 Learning Zone Express 8

Riboflavin (B2)  Milk and dairy products are the richest sources.  Stable with heat but easily destroyed by UV light (milk sold in opaque cartons) ©2002 Learning Zone Express 9

Such as oats, dried dates, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, red meat, eggs, fish, poultry, sesame, chickpeas, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, bananas, and peanuts.  Pellagra – a disease caused by a niacin (B 3 ) deficiency – symptoms are diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, death (associated with low protein diets)  Large doses have a pharmacological effect (“poison drug”) and overwhelms some body systems ©2002 Learning Zone Express 10

Folate (or Folic acid)  Dark green vegetables like broccoli and spinach and dried legumes such as chickpeas, beans and lentils are naturally good sources of folate. In Canada, folic acid is added to all white flour, enriched pasta and cornmeal products  Folic acid is crucial during pregnancy for the development of the neural tube of the child ©2002 Learning Zone Express 11
