Here is the start of my nutritional research. This is only a general overview and I will get in more depth in future post, so stay tuned! Most of this research and information comes from these sources; Harvard Health, WebMD, Vitamin-Nuttrition.org, and the FDA.
Vitamins are organic substances (made by plants or animals), mineralize inorganic, the body needs larger amounts of some minerals, such as calcium, to grow and stay healthy.
Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients—because acting in concert, they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help shore up bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into energy, and repair cellular damage.
Vitamins and other nutrients play essential roles in maintaining good health, but they need to be consumed in the proper amounts. Vitamins are classified into two types: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. They are divided into these groups according to how they are dissolved and stored in your body. Fat-soluble vitamins reside in your body's fatty tissue and liver and are used as needed by your body. By contrast, water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and generally are not stored in your body.
Because water-soluble vitamins and nutrients dissolve in water, the continuous supply your body needs calls for a steady daily intake, from the foods you eat, from the supplements you take, or from a combination of foods and supplements. Vitamins C, B12, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, tryptophan, pantothenic acid, biotin, and folic acid are all classified in the water-soluble category.
Getting too many fat- or water-soluble nutrients, either from the food you eat or from supplements, can be dangerous. Vitamin and mineral supplements are serious business, and taking more than you need -- unless you are under the care of your doctor -- may be bad for your health.
Here are a list of minerals and vitamins that are recommended for us to function in optimum health that I have decide to highlight.

In the upcoming blogs, I will find out what are the DRA recommendation and what is said to be the maximum we should have of each one of the above. What are the main things each does for the body. What are top food sources for each. I will also try to put in a easy recipe or ways to get the need amounts into your diet. There will be a lot more of other things such as sneaky ways to get exercise in, sleep tips, more recipes, relaxation tips, tips for handling stress, and more. See you all again soon.
