Vitamin 101 Vitamin D in the fight against breast- and colorectal cancer
It has long been talked about, but now it seems accepted in the world of medicine that vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, plays a very important role in the prevention of breast and colorectal cancer and breastcancer recurrence.
Vitamin B-complex
The B-complex group contains eight of the water soluble vitamins. Water soluble vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored in the body. We need a continuous supply of them in our every-day diet.
Vitamin B plays an important role in the release of energy from foods and in fat synthesis. Those of us who are here because we want to lose weight should keep that in mind. Another reason to eat wholemeal grains, though getting the right balance between grains and other foods is also inportant...
Vitamin A- eat your carrots!
If you eat your carrots your eyes will even get more beautiful, I used to tell the kids, and I'm not so far off the truth.Vitamin K, more to it than we think
Until recently, vitamin K, a fat absorbable vitamin, was associated with coagulation and not much more.
The "K" comes from the German word "Koagulation".
Newborns are administered this vitamin , to prevent deficiency, which causes bleeding in the infant.

The Pleasures of vitamin E
I used to know an older man who told me that when he wanted a night of fun with his wife, he'd eat celery soup. Because, according to him celery contains a lot of vitamin E which, he said, helps the libido.
I thought this was a good enough reason to check if there was any truth in his claim.

Vit C - All Kinds of Uses
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin that we constantly need to top up if our bodies are to function properly. Of all the vitamins this is the one that people seem most familiar with, yet there's still a lot to learn about its effects and value.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin, because the great golden orb in the sky is our main source of it. But many of us live in too northerly a latitude to get the right dose, and we're told we need to cover up with UV filters and floppy hats. That should get us thinking about our food sources of Vitamin D even more.
