Do I need to take vitamins?

Vitamins are a group of substances found in food. They are required by the body to maintain life and health. So, naturally, many people wonder: Am I getting enough vitamins and am I getting all the vitamins I need? And despite the fact that the body needs a very small amount of vitamins, people's concern about this is not unreasonable. This is due to their diet, that is, the food they take.

A person who consumes a variety of foods receives all the vitamins known to him to this day (with the exception of vitamin D). The problem is that some people don't choose their food well enough, don't diversify it enough, and don't consume essential vitamin-rich foods. And here's the answer to the question posed in the title: no, you don't need to specifically take vitamins if you eat right.

The fact is that most vitamins cannot be accumulated by the body, and therefore it simply gets rid of their excess. Some vitamins are even harmful in too high doses. This applies to vitamins A and D when taken in tablets or capsules. Which vitamins are found in which foods? Here is the most general information.

Vitamin A, good for eyes, skin, teeth and bones, is found in vegetables (greens and root vegetables), fruits, eggs, liver and butter.

B1, useful for the nervous system and digestive organs, preventing some diseases, is found in wholemeal wheat bread, cereals, pork and liver.

B2 is found in milk, greens and lean meats.

Vitamin C, useful for body tissues, bones and teeth, is found in citrus fruits, tomatoes and raw cabbage.

Vitamin D is found in milk and is also produced in the body when exposed to sunlight. Here is what can be said about several of the most important and necessary vitamins for the body.

When did the Red Cross start?

On a hot June day in 1859, after the battle of Solferino in Italy, fifteen thousand dead and wounded remained on the battlefield. There were few doctors and many of the wounded died before they could receive medical attention. Driving across the battlefield, the young Swiss Heinrich Dunant was shocked by the carnage and the groans of the wounded. He gathered female volunteers from the nearest Italian village. Under his leadership and following his example, the women cared for the wounded.

Heinrich Dunant wrote an article about the horrific scenes he witnessed. He stated that many deaths and suffering might not have happened if an organization had been created to care for the wounded, regardless of their nationality. Thanks to the humanitarian efforts of Dunant, fourteen nations accepted the treaty establishing the Red Cross. The treaty was signed at an international conference in Geneva in 1864 and revised in 1906.

During the war, it provides for measures in various countries to alleviate the suffering of society. The reversed Swiss flag has been approved as the emblem of the Red Cross. Today, in the event of wars or national disasters, the hearts of the people of many nations unite under the flag of the Red Cross in the service of mankind. In any war, this flag of mercy is respected by friends and foes alike. The British Red Cross Society was founded in 1870 and incorporated in 1908.

The British Armed Forces also has its own medical service. During the war, the Red Cross provides the necessary assistance. In Russia, the Red Cross Society was established in 1918, and in 1923, as a result of the merger, the "Union of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies" arose.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The smallest laser 03.10.2010

Swiss engineers from the Higher Polytechnic School in Zurich have created the smallest laser in the world, and its length is less than the wavelength of the light emitted by it: 30 micrometers versus 200 (this is the infrared region).

The new device can be built into the electronic circuits required for photonic computers in the near future.
