The A-to-Z guide to essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, so you can ditch synthetic supplements and promote health naturally with nourishing foods. Vitamins and minerals are the building blocks of good health. But the heavily processed foods that are so common in today’s modern diet are stripped of these nutrients, leaving many people nutrient deficient despite meeting (or exceeding) their daily calorie needs. The accepted solution is to take supplements created in a lab, but the dosage and interactions can be confusing, and supplements are loosely regulated and not always foolproof, especially since our bodies are designed to receive nutrients from natural, whole foods. Eat Your Vitamins features fifty key vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients essential to your health. You will find clear definitions of each nutrient along with the role it plays in the body, how it is best consumed and absorbed, recommended daily doses, and detailed lists of foods and natural sources that contain the vitamin along with a recipe for a nutrient-rich meal. Ditch the synthetic supplements and make the right choice about how to properly feed and fuel your body.

Nutritional Biochemistry of the Vitamins

The vitamins are a chemically disparate group of compounds whose only common feature is that they are dietary essentials that are required in small amounts for the normal functioning of the body and maintenance of metabolic integrity. Metabolically they have diverse function, as coenzymes, hormones, antioxidants, mediators of cell signaling and regulators of cell and tissue growth and differentiation. This book explores the known biochemical functions of the vitamins, the extent to which we can explain the effects of deficiency or excess and the scientific basis for reference intakes for the prevention of deficiency and promotion of optimum health and well-being. It also highlights areas where our knowledge is lacking and further research is required. It provides a compact and authoritative reference volume of value to students and specialists alike in the field of nutritional biochemistry, and indeed all who are concerned with vitamin nutrition, deficiency and metabolism.

This single-source reference draws together the current knowledgeof the vitamins' biological properties in the context of humannutrition. Vitamins are co-enzymes, antioxidants or precursors ofhormones and are therefore involved in a great many biochemical andphysiological processes. They play a vital role in the maintenanceof health, and there is evidence that dietary sources of vitaminshave beneficial effects in the prevention of heart-relateddiseases, bone diseases and possibly cancer. Following introductory chapters on historical and nutritionalaspects of vitamins, the next four chapters cover relevant anddetailed aspects of physiology and functional anatomy,biochemistry, immunology and the regulation of protein synthesis bynuclear hormone receptors. These background chapters, supported bya glossary of terms, provide the scientific principles upon whichvitamin functions are based. The following thirteen chapters dealwith each vitamin in turn. Subject areas include chemicalstructure, intestinal absorption, transport, metabolism,biochemical and physiological actions, immunoregulatory properties,deficiency-related diseases and potential toxicity. An extensivebibliography refers the reader to the original researchliterature. Vitamins is aimed at nutritionists, biochemists, physiologists andphysicians whether they be researchers, teachers or students. Foodscientists, food technologists and many others working in thehealth professions will also find much of use and interest in thebook. The inclusion of the theoretical principles in the backgroundchapters makes the book an ideal starting point for those workingoutside the area who need a solid overview of the subject.

Focus on Homocysteine and the Vitamins Involved in its metabolism

During the last 10-12 years, the research on homocysteine has become very active. About 1500 of articles are now published each year on homocysteine and the vitamins involved in its metabolism. A disturbed homocysteine metabolism can be an underlying factor for pregnancy complications and fetal malformations, cardiovascular disease, dementia, psychiatric and neurologic disorders and possibly carcinogenesis. A disturbed homocysteine metabolism can in most cases be normalised by treatment with folate and/or vitamines B12 and B6. Many of these findings therefore directly concern most practitioners. However, if there are good reviews covering single aspects of this research, these are published in specialised journals. The author has realised the difficulties for the practitioner in keeping updated. This second edition has been thoroughly updated and also offers more data on the vitamins. Over 1600 references are made available.
