Vitamins
|
In the struggle to lose weight, often we neglect our daily intake of
vitamins and minerals, as we are cutting down on our caloric intake.
This is a definite dieting mistake, and can even contribute to weight
loss failure.
There are certain vitamins and mineral that are essential to the ways
in which we convert food to energy, rather than into fat. Our bodies
run much more efficiently when we are consuming the recommended daily
levels of vitamins and minerals.
The Vitamin B complex is an important part of dieting. These vitamins
play an important role in metabolizing food, and thus contribute to
physical energy, as well as the rate at which calories are burned. Vitamin
B6 partners with zinc to influence the quality of the digestion of food.
When food is properly digested, it is used more efficiently and less
likely to end up as stored fat. Vitamin B2, B3 and B6 are associated
with the function of the thyroid gland. Deficiencies can affect the
way this gland works. A symptom of a disruption in thyroid function
is a disruption of the body’s metabolism, which helps to determine the
rate at which calories are burned off.
Zinc is one of many minerals that can affect the success of a diet.
This mineral can affect the way that foods taste, and also has a role
in appetite control. Zinc also partners with Vitamin A and Vitamin E
to produce thyroid hormones.
Another important aspect concerning dieting and nutrition has to do
with the ways that nutrition affects mood. Dieting can be emotionally
stressful, and deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals can contribute
to depression. For many people with weight problems, food serves as
a means of self-medicating during times of stress and depression. Therefore,
allowing deficiencies of vitamins and minerals that can contribute to
mood disorders or depression puts the weight loss efforts in grave danger
of failure.
It is nearly impossible to overstate the value of the Vitamin B complex
in overall mental health and functioning. Deficiencies in the vitamins
that make up the B complex can result in numerous mental symptoms, including
confusion, anxiety, depression, dementia, paranoia, and can even contribute
to the development of psychosis. Furthermore, deficiencies in the Vitamin
B complex can bring about insomnia, which can make any one of those
symptoms much worse.
Vitamin C is another vitamin that is important to mood and the general
feeling of well being. A little investigation will uncover several vitamins
and minerals that serve to positively affect mood, especially through
their role in the production of serotonin and dopamine, and the maintaining
of chemical balance within the brain. Because all aspects of mood are
related to the levels of various chemicals in the brain, which are in
turn influenced by the nutrients we consume, avoiding deficiencies is
particularly important during times in which we may be especially vulnerable
to our moods or to stress.
Nutrition is especially important to the success of any weight loss
diet. Dietary supplements, taken according to accepted dosages, can
be an excellent way to maintain nutrient levels while reducing caloric
intake.
