Do I need to take vitamins? Detailed answer Directory / Big encyclopedia. Questions for quiz and self-education Did you know? 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. Author: Likum A. Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia: 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.
