Editor's Notes
- #3 Here the student will be able to describe or define certain aspects of this presentation. What is it that we are doing here? How important is learning about Vitamins, Herbs, and Nutritional Supplements before adding them to your lifestyle?
- #4 Vitamins are an important part of human growth and our bodies require the assistance of 13 different vitamins. Each Vitamin supports a function of the body, cellular function, and tissues (Schlenker & Roth, 2011). We will learn about the different vitamins later on in this presentation.
- #5 Before using a herbal regiment it is best to consult a professional or your Physician. Herbal medicines can have the same effects as drugs or laboratory created medicines (NCCAM, 2014).
- #6 Boost is a great supplement when proper nutrition is not being consumed in adequate amounts. Protein supplementation is what body builders intake to retain muscle mass. (ODS, 2013)
- #7 When using this chart, which is accessible by everyone, it is important to consult a Health and Wellness Professional to help determine your values based on needs. This chart represents the most current scientific knowledge on nutritional needs and requirements may be higher or lower than the DRI’s listed (USDA, 2014).
- #8 The differences between the two are minimal but the effects are greatly different. Vitamins support body functions, immunity, and overall health while herbs are a supplementation that can be used to enhance or mimic the effects of drugs or other medications. Example: St. John’s Wort (herb) – a plant that grows in the wild and is used to treat depression which mimics treatments by modern medications. Yohimbe (herb) – the bark of the yohimbe tree is used to concoct the drug yohimbine which is used for erectile dysfunction.
- #9 Even though potassium is considered a vitamin it is still considered a mineral and is necessary for body function. Macronutrients are needed in larger amounts and are those that are eaten daily: Fats Carbohydrates Protein
- #10 Vitamin A is important in healthy function of the body especially the eyes. Although vitamin A deficiency is rare in the United States it can be seen in pregnant women and young children. Research suggests eating foods with beta-carotene might lower the risk of certain cancers (ODS, 2014). How much is enough? Getting too much preformed vitamin A (usually from supplements or certain medicines) can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, coma, and even death (ODS, 2014).
- #11 The B vitamins support metabolism of all body functions and occurs at cellular level. Lack of vitamin B can result in a variety of diseases such as beriberi, Wernicke’s encephalopathy, ariboflavinosis, acne, depression, hypertenstion (high blood pressure), and peripheral neuropathy (ODS, 2014).
- #12 Did you know that those who smoke or are exposed to secondhand smoke require more vitamin C to repair the damage caused by free radicals (ODS, 2014)?
- #13 Believe it or not your body needs sun light for a number of different reasons. Vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets, osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and seasonal affective disorder. Vitamin D is also fat-soluble which means it requires fat to be absorbed.
- #14 Vitamin E is an important part of a daily intake as it helps rid the body of free radicals that damage the body and the body’s cells.
- #15 Vitamin K intake is important in blood clotting factors. Potassium also plays an important role in cardiac function and is used in conjunction with sodium.
- #16 What determines whether or not you need protein in your diet? Are you vegetarian or derivative of vegetarian? Do you eat out of the major food groups daily? Do you find making meals tedious? For most men and women the amount of protein is between 46 (women) and 56 (men) (CDC, 2012).
- #17 Water is what keeps you alive, literally. Water is necessary for cellular function and metabolism. Water is everywhere! Hunger may be disguised as thirst!
- #18 Being able to decipher all the information about vitamins, herbs, and supplements takes quite a bit of knowledge and the guidance you seek will be that of a Health and Wellness Professional. These Professionals will be able to assist you in reaching your goals. What looks like an easy calculation may be easily deceptive.
