Vitamins

And why you should be taking them -.-

• Vitamin A : Aids in the formation and over all health of soft tissues, bones, mucous membranes, teeth and skin.

• Vitamin B6 : A.K.A pyridoxine. Lends a hand in forming red blood cells and also maintaining brain function. This vitamin is important in maintaining proteins that are part of many chemical reactions in the body. The more you eat protein, the more pyridoxine your body needs.

Vitamin B12 : Plays a big role in metabolization, while also helping form red blood cells and maintaining the central nervous system.

Vitamin C : A.K.A ascorbic acid, an antioxidant that improves the health of teeth and gums. Aids the body in absorbing iron and maintaining healthy tissue. It is essential for healing wounds.

Vitamin D : Known as the “sun vitamin,” because it is created by the body from being in the sun. For most people - You only need 10 to 15 minutes of sunlight 3x a week to produce the right amount of vitamin D. It is hard to get the right amount of vitamin D from food. Vitamin D makes it easier for the body to absorb calcium. Calcium is essential for normal development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Also it helps in maintaining the right amount of blood levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body.

Vitamin E : An antioxidant known as tocopherol that aids the body in forming red blood cells and boosting the effects of vitamin K.

Vitamin K : Helps with bruising . Some studies found it is important for bone health.

Biotin : Assists in metabolizing proteins and carbohydrates/ the production of hormones and cholesterol.

Niacin : A B vitamin. Helps in the up keep of healthy skin and nerves. At high doses it has cholesterol-lowering effects.

Folate : Works with vitamin B12 to aid in the formation of red blood cells. Needed for the production of DNA that manages tissue growth and cell function. Pregnant women should be sure to get enough folate or it can cause birth defects like spina bifida. A lot of food is now fortified with folic acid.

Pantothenic acid : Essential for the metabolism of food. It also plays a role in making hormones and cholesterol.

Riboflavin : Vitamin B2 , teams up with the other B vitamins. Important for growing and regeneration of skin and the making of red blood cells.

Thiamine : Vitamin B1, helps cells change carbohydrates into energy. Having the right amount of carbohydrates is extremely essential while pregnant and breastfeeding, and for heart function and exquisite nerve cells.

Choline : Aids in the function of the brain and nervous system. Having a choline deficiency will cause swelling in liver.

Carnitine: helps the body to change fatty acids into energy.

1. Bananas: Bananas are very nutritious. Each 100g of pulp contains 1.2 grams of protein, 0.5 grams of fat, 19.5 grams of carbohydrates, 0.9 grams of crude fiber, 9 mg of calcium, 31 mg of phosphorus, and 0.6 mg of iron. It also contains carotene, Thiamine, niacin, vitamin C, vitamin E and rich trace element potassium.

2. Milk: Milk contains almost all kinds of nutrients needed by the human body, and has balanced nutrition. Its essential amino acid composition is very close to the human body’s amino acid model. It is also rich in vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin D. It has high nutritional value and is easy to use. 

3. Eggs: Each 100g of eggs contains 12.8 grams of protein, mainly ovalbumin and ovalbumin, which contain 8 kinds of amino acids necessary for the human body, and are very similar to the composition of human protein. The human body’s absorption rate of egg protein can be as high as 98 . Each hundred grams of eggs contain 11 to 15 grams of fat, which is mainly concentrated in the yolk, which is also easily digested and absorbed by the human body. Egg yolk is rich in lecithin, sterols, lecithin, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, vitamin D and B vitamins. These ingredients are of great benefit in enhancing the function of the nervous system, therefore, eggs are a fascinating food for  brain .

I planted watercress last week!

I used some plastic packagings as pots due to the importance of reusing things. And as a substrate I used wadding - it was new but I had nothing do with it and I didn’t want just to throw it away. But if you want to grow watercress you can also use soil!

I’m so glad that it grows so fast! I’m growing watercress for the first time in my life and this year I’m going to plant more herbs and edible small plants :)

Since Vitamin D is fat soluble, should you take the supplement with a fatty meal, or is a spoonful of sugar still acceptable?

PREVENTION is better than the cure!

We are plagued by advertising scaring us into buying wrinkle cream the moment we turn 30, but we must take care of our skin before that.

Facial massages, oils, drinking water, vitamin c, staying out of the sun and many more can prevent dry and ageing skin before it happens.

But no matter your age, don’t give up! These can be beneficial to all ages, however the sooner you start, the better.

Active ingredients:

Alkaloids - Alkaloids are substances that work very powerful. They are actually healing poisons. Plants with alkaloid as the most active ingredient may be taken only under a doctor’s supervision, as drug or only be used externally only.
In low doses, however, additional alkaloids, in synergy with other active substances, affect the medicinal properties of the plant in a positive way. Generally they work vasopressor(makingbloodpressure higher), nerve stimulating and antispasmodic.

Bitter Substances - A large part of the healing herbs tastes bitter due to the bitter substances they contain. Bitter substances are basically divided into three groups:

• The first group is that by stimulating the secretion of gastric juices and has a stimulating effect.
• The second we can best viewed with essential oils because they can by their antiseptic action also prevent inflammation and stimulate secretion of intestinal, liver and bile.
• The third group contains mostly sharp substances. We find this in plants especially spicy flavors (ginger, pepper, galanga). They promote digestion and stimulate circulation.

Etheric Oils - is a group of more than a 100 different types of substances which ease irritation or inflammation on skin, ease coughing, diuretic and antispasmodic work, stimulate stomach, intestine, liver and bile.

Flavonoids - Flavonoids comprise a large group of active substances in plants that are similar with regard to their chemical structure with one another. We know there are at present more than five thousand and their efficacy is very different.
Flavonoids support the functioning of other substances in plants.

Glycosides - Glycosides are also a huge group. They have all different effects, but they have in common that they can be split by hydrolysis, the action of water or enzymes. One of known glycosides is digitalinusedagainst heart disease. Often they also support proper digestion. 

Minerals - Potassium is quantitatively the most important minerals in the plant medicine. In high doses it works diuretic. Some plants are rich in calciumandmagnesium.Both are important for bone metabolism.

Mucilage - Under mucilage we mean carbohydrate-containing substances which can swell and thicken, and can be viscous. They can soften incentives.

Mustard Oils - Mustard oils belong to essential oils. They taste sharpandstimulatethegastrointestinal tract. They have a strong antibiotic effect.

Silicic acids - Also known assilicaorsilicate crystal, promotes healthy connective tissueandhealthy hair and nails. In high doses it works diuretic(diuretic= substance that promotes the production of urine).

Saponins - Thesoap substances (saponins) dissolve mucus and thereby facilitate coughing up and spitting out. They work and strengthen the antibiotic resistance. Saponin are similar in composition to glycosides.

Tannins - Tannins are substances in plants that proteins of the skin and mucosa are able to bind, so that they can offer better resistance. They have an astringent effect and because of that are able to prevent infection by discouraging the creation of favorable breeding ground for bacteria, which have established themselves on broken skin and/or in the damaged mucosa.

Vitamins - ProvitaminAor carotene stabilizes the defenses of the immune system and promotes cell regeneration. The B vitamins play an important role in the energy metabolism. Vitamin C strengthens the immune system and the resistance of the body.

Disclaimer:The stones and herbs are merely helping with recovery or prevention. As it’s no 100% certain and tried medicine, it might not always help. In doubt ALWAYS contact a doctor.
