Here are all the tips for providing the body with the right vitamin requirements in a vegan diet.<\/p>\n<h2>Vitamins: what are they?<\/h2>\n<p>Discovered by Polish physician Kazimierz Funk, vitamins are essential nutrients for the human body that regulate its regular functioning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicentro.iss.it\/vitamine\/\">Le <strong>vitamins<\/strong> fall into the category of micronutrients<\/a>They are required in very small quantities to satisfy the body's biological needs. Even if some of them are produced autonomously by our bodies, <strong>most vitamins must be introduced through the diet<\/strong>. In fact, the quantities generated by the body are generally insufficient to meet man's actual needs.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin deficiency, defined <strong>hypovitaminosis<\/strong>can cause ailments and illnesses, and may depend on the<strong>insufficient intake of a certain vitamin <\/strong>diet, by an increased need (as happens, for example, in pregnancy) or by the presence of <strong>alterations<\/strong> that inhibit its absorption (e.g. in the presence of certain <strong>pathologies<\/strong>). Generally, hypovitaminosis is resolved by making changes to the diet or by taking <strong>food supplements<\/strong> specific.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are the most important vitamins?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Vitamins are divided into two major groups: <strong>water-soluble<\/strong>which dissolve in water, and <strong>fat-soluble<\/strong>which dissolve in fat.<\/p>\n<p>Water-soluble vitamins include vitamins B and C, and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9278\" src=\"https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-vita-plus-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-vita-plus-2-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-vita-plus-2-1-150x45.jpg 150w, https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-vita-plus-2-1-570x171.jpg 570w, https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-vita-plus-2-1-470x141.jpg 470w, https:\/\/clienti.readmoreadv.it\/naturveg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/banner-vita-plus-2-1-768x230.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vitamin B<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>B is a group of eight water-soluble vitamins<\/strong> (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12) that play a fundamental role in the body, intervening, among other things, in the <strong>metabolism<\/strong> of sugars, proteins and fats, in the<strong> transmission of nerve impulses<\/strong> and in the functionality of all cell membranes.<\/p>\n<p>The B vitamins are mainly present:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>in whole-grain cereals;<\/li>\n<li>in food of animal origin;<\/li>\n<li>in legumes;<\/li>\n<li>in dried fruit;<\/li>\n<li>in certain green leafy vegetables, such as spinach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Vitamin C<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>La <strong>vitamin C<\/strong> is a water-soluble nutrient that plants are rich in and serves the body for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>produce some very important substances, such as the <strong>noradrenaline<\/strong>which enables nerve cells to communicate with each other and with other cells in the body, the <strong>bile acids<\/strong>which serve the absorption of fats, and the <strong>collagen<\/strong>essential for the functionality of many tissues such as skin, cartilage and <strong>muscle tissue<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>promote intestinal absorption of <strong>iron<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>protect the<strong>digestive system<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>regenerate the <strong>vitamin E<\/strong> oxidised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Vitamin A<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>La <strong>vitamin A<\/strong> is a fat-soluble micronutrient essential for the growth and normal development of the tissues that make up the body.
