Vitamins are organic compounds that organisms require in limited amounts but cannot synthesize themselves. They are classified based on their biological activity rather than their structure. Vitamins serve diverse biochemical functions as regulators, antioxidants, and precursors to enzyme cofactors involved in metabolism. There are two types of vitamins - water soluble vitamins like the B vitamins and vitamin C, and fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamins play critical roles in many processes in the body like energy production, cell growth, immune function, and more. Deficiencies can lead to diseases, so obtaining vitamins through a balanced diet is important.
My simple effort of making this powerpoint presentation a valuable one.This powerpoint presentation defines the need of vitamins in our day to day life.Also describes the types ,why do we need vitamins and lack of vitamins what happens..supplementation is also described in here.lack of water soluble and fat soluble vitamins gives difference which is clearly mentioned here in the slide.

Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and develop normally. There are 13 of these essential vitamins: A, C, D, E, K and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and folate).
You can usually get all your vitamins from the foods you eat. Your body can also make vitamins D and K. People who eat a vegetarian diet may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement to ensure that they are getting the vitamins usually found in meat.
Each vitamin has a specific job. If you have low levels of certain vitamins, you may develop a deficiency disease. Some vitamins may also help prevent medical problems. The best way to get enough vitamins is to eat a balanced diet with a variety of foods. In some cases, you may need to take a daily multivitamin for optimal health. However, high doses of some vitamins may make you sick.

including vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates.
The body needs vitamins to stay healthy and a varied diet usually gives you
all the vitamins you need. Vitamins do not provide energy (calories)
directly, but they do help regulate energy-producing processes. With the
exception of vitamin D and K, vitamins cannot be synthesized by the
human body and must be obtained from the diet. Vitamins have to come
from food because they are not manufactured or formed by the body. So
let’s find out the uses and the importance of vitamins in our daily life.
Hormones are compounds that are also known as signaling molecules. They
are produced by the glands in multi-cellular organisms. Hormones are
transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs in order to
regulate the physiology and behavior in living beings. A hormone is actually
a chemical messenger which is directly secreted into the blood stream. Blood
carries these hormones to various organs and tissues to exert their function.

Vitamins are frequently classified as either fat-soluble or water-soluble organic substances.. minerals that dissolve in fat, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K, have a tendency to build up in the body. Water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins, such as vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folate, must dissolve in water in order to be absorbed by the body. the body and cannot be stored. Any water-soluble minerals that the body does not use are mostly excreted in the urine. People require trace amounts of organic substances called vitamins. Every one plays a unique part in preserving health and body function. Some people may require supplements to improve their supply, depending on their lifestyle and overall health..

Researchers are exploring the effects of diet, exercise, age, psychological stress, and other factors on the immune response, both in animals and in humans. In the meantime, general healthy-living strategies are a good way to start giving your immune system the upper hand. While some people age healthily, the conclusion of many studies is that, compared with younger people, the elderly are more likely to contract infectious diseases and, even more importantly, more likely to die from them. Respiratory infections, influenza, the COVID-19 virus and particularly pneumonia are a leading cause of death in people over 65 worldwide. Scientists have long recognized that people who live in poverty and are malnourished are more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Whether the increased rate of disease is caused by malnutrition's effect on the immune system there is scientific evidence that various micronutrient deficiencies — for example, deficiencies of zinc, selenium, iron, copper, folic acid, and vitamins A, B6, C, E, D3, K, Colostrum and Psyllium Husk Etc. alter immune responses.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. INTRODUCTION
Vitamin is an organic compound and a vital nutrient that an organism requires in
limited amounts. An organic chemical compound is called a vitamin when the organism
cannot synthesize the compound in sufficient quantities, and must be obtained through
the diet; thus, the term "vitamin" is conditional upon the circumstances and the
particular organism.
Vitamins are classified by their biological and chemical activity, not their
structure. Thus, each "vitamin" refers to a number of vitamer compounds that all show
the biological activity associated with a particular vitamin. Such a set of chemicals is
grouped under an alphabetized vitamin "generic descriptor" title, such as "vitamin A",
which includes the compounds retinal, retinol, and four known carotenoids.
Vitamins have diverse biochemical functions. Some, such as vitamin D, have
hormone-like functions as regulators of mineral metabolism, or regulators of cell and
tissue growth and differentiation (such as some forms of vitamin A). Others function
as antioxidants . The largest number of vitamins, the B complex vitamins, function as
precursors for enzyme cofactors, that help enzymes in their work
as catalysts in metabolism. In this role, vitamins may be tightly bound to enzymes as part
of prosthetic groups. They may also be less tightly bound to enzyme catalysts
as coenzymes, detachable molecules that function to carry chemical groups or electrons
between molecules Although these roles in assisting enzyme-substrate reactions are
vitamins' best-known function, the other vitamin functions are equally important.
2. WATER SOLUBLE VITAMINS
Eight of the water-soluble vitamins are known as the vitamin B-complex
group: thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin
(vitamin B3), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), folate (folic acid), vitamin
B12, biotin and pantothenic acid. The B vitamins are widely
distributed in foods, and their influence is felt in many parts of the
body. They function as coenzymes that help the body obtain energy
from food. The B vitamins are also important for normal appetite,
good vision, and healthy skin, nervous system, and red blood cell
formation.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins: A, D, E, and K
The fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K, are stored in the body for
long periods of time and generally pose a greater risk for toxicity
when consumed in excess than water-soluble vitamins. Eating a
normal, well-balanced diet will not lead to toxicity in otherwise
healthy individuals. However, taking vitamin supplements that
contain mega doses of vitamins A, D, E and K may lead to toxicity.
The body only needs small amounts of any vitamin.
3. Thiamin : Vitamin B1
Thiamin helps to release energy from foods, promotes normal appetite, and is important in maintaining
proper nervous system function. Sources -peas, pork, liver, and legumes, bread, pasta, rice, and tortillas.
thiamin deficiency : mental confusion, muscle weakness, wasting, water retention , impaired growth, and
beriberi.
Riboflavin: Vitamin B2
release energy from foods, promotes good vision, and healthy skin. Sources liver, eggs, dark green
vegetables, legumes, whole and milk. deficiency cracks at the corners of the mouth, dermatitis on nose and
lips, light sensitivity, cataracts, and a sore, red tongue.
Niacin: Vitamin B3, Nicotinamide, Nicotinic Acid.
energy production, normal enzyme function, digestion, promoting normal appetite, healthy skin, and nerves.
Sources include liver, fish, poultry, meat, peanuts, whole and enriched grain products. niacin deficiency -
Pellagra.
Vitamin B6: Pyridoxine, Pyridoxal, Pyridoxamine
protein metabolism and red blood cell formation. Sources pork, meats, whole grains and cereals, legumes,
and green, leafy vegetables. Deficiency symptoms skin disorders, dermatitis, cracks at corners of mouth,
anemia, kidney stones, and nausea.
Vitamin B12: Cobalamin
building of genetic material, production of normal red blood cells, and maintenance of the nervous
system. Meats, liver, kidney, fish, eggs, milk and milk products, oysters, shellfish. Anemia, fatigue,
neurological disorders, and degeneration of nerves and tingling.
Biotin
metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates from food. Liver, kidney, egg yolk, milk, most fresh
vegetables, yeast breads and cereals. fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, depression, muscle pains,
heart abnormalities and anemia
Pantothenic Acid
Pantothenic Acid is involved in energy production, and aids in the formation of hormones and the
metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates from food. Sources liver, kidney, meats, egg yolk, whole
grains, and legumes.
4.
5. Vitamin C: Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbate
vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid or ascorbate, to remain in proper
working condition. Vitamin C benefits the body by holding cells together
through collagen synthesis; collagen is a connective tissue that holds muscles,
bones, and other tissues together. Vitamin C also aids in wound healing, bone
and tooth formation, strengthening blood vessel walls, improving immune
system function, increasing absorption and utilization of iron, and acting as an
antioxidant. best sources are citrus fruits. C deficiency may result in the
disease known as scurvy. vitamin C requirements are 1. Environmental stress,
such as air and noise pollution 2. Use of certain drugs, such as oral
contraceptives 3. Tissue healing of wounds 4. Growth (children from 0- 12
months, and pregnant women)
5. Fever and infection 6. Smoking.
6.
7. Vitamin A: Retinol
Vitamin A, also called retinol, has many functions in the body. In addition to helping the
eyes adjust to light changes, vitamin A plays an important role in bone growth, tooth
development, reproduction, cell division, gene expression, and regulation of the immune
system. The skin, eyes, and mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, throat and lungs depend
on vitamin A to remain moist. Vitamin A is also an important antioxidant that may play a
role in the prevention of certain cancers.
Sources - dairy products, fish and liver. carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, dark green leafy
vegetables and apricots
Deficiency - xerophthalmia, Night blindness, decreased resistance to infections, faulty tooth
development, and slower bone growth.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D plays a critical role in the body’s use of calcium and phosphorous. It works
by increasing the amount of calcium absorbed from the small intestine, helping to form
and maintain bones. Vitamin D benefits the body by playing a role in immunity and
controlling cell growth. Children especially need adequate amounts of vitamin D to
develop strong bones and healthy teeth.
Sources - Milk , other dairy products , sunlight
Deficiency - rickets , osteomalacia , common cancers, autoimmune diseases,
hypertension, and infectious disease.
8.
9. Vitamin E: Tocopherol
Vitamin E benefits the body by acting as an antioxidant, and protecting vitamins A andC, red
blood cells, and essential fatty acids from destruction. Might help prevent heart disease and
cancer. . Many studies show a link between regularly eating an antioxidant rich diet full of
fruits and vegetables, and a lower risk for heart disease, cancer, and several other diseases.
Sources - Vegetable oil, fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, fortified cereals.
Deficiency - Premature infants
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is naturally produced by the bacteria in the intestines, and plays an essential
role in normal blood clotting, promoting bone health, and helping to produce proteins for
blood, bones, and kidneys.
Sources - Green, turnip greens, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, soybean oil, cottonseed oil,
canola oil and olive oil.
Deficiency - Chronic diarrhea
