A Study On Vitamin B2 ( Riboflavin )

Some of these lacking percentages may be a real deficiency and will call for my need of increasing them substantially. Vitamins A (RAE); E; and D, where A and E are nine percent and then D, which is slightly higher with thirteen percent need some major work and I will have to find ways to get these values at least higher than seventy percent. I will have to begin eating more carrots, egg yolk, broccoli, cantaloupe and drinking milk while doing so, to increase my vitamin A (RAE) percentage. For my vitamin E percentage, milk and egg yolk will help but I can also increase my whole-grain foods and eat some sunflower seeds and nuts to get it up where it needs to be. For my lacking vitamin D percentage I need to seriously increase my fatty fish intake—which is not difficult, due to my love of fish. Whole egg and beef liver will also both help in getting more vitamin D in my diet.

Nutrients: Eat foods which are high in calcium and Vitamin D. These include milk, grapefruit, oily fish and walnuts. You should also ensure that you have adequate amounts of magnesium, potassium and Vitamins C and K. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables to obtain these

I was really surprised that there were so many nutrients that I did not meet the recommended dietary allowance. I am unclear on Vitamin B12 because it has my intake at 2.4 mcg and the RDA was 2.4 my percentage was in the red at 99%. I did not meet my Vitamin C recommendations and I was in the red at 97%, I did not meet the recommendations for Vitamin D and I was in the red at 1%. Vitamin E is another area that I was in the red at 29%, Calcium I was in the red at 65%, Copper in the red at 94%, Iron I was in the red at 35%, Magnesium in the red at 60%, Manganese I was in the red at 78%, Potassium I was in the red at 51%, Thiamin I was in the red at 50 %, and Zinc in the red at 89%.

In looking over my Food Journal Summary and my Intake Compared to DRI dealing with micronutrients; I noticed my intake of Vitamin A was 88 micrograms and my DRI was 700 micrograms. I got 49% from the grilled cheese and 1% from the banana chips. To improve my Vitamin E intake I should eat more beef and cooked vegetables such as carrots. My Vitamin D intake was below the recommended range at 0 mg; I should eat more fish such as salmon or possibly find a Vitamin D supplement. My consumption of Vitamin E or Alpha-Tocopherol was an intake of 1 mg and my DRI was 15 mg. 28%, 3%, 19%, and 15% came from the chicken tenders, banana chips, grilled cheese, and French fries. To get a

After looking at my analysis I was surprised because there I was lacking a lot of vitamins and minerals. Without minerals, our bodies wouldn’t be able to function which is why I was worried when I saw my reports. I was lacking vitamins such as Vitamin A where my intake was 392.53 mcg when it’s supposed to be at a high 700.00 mcg. I also barely had one of the most important vitamins in my body, Vitamin D. Being one of the most important vitamins to our body a Vitamin D deficiency is not healthy for the body in any way possible. Restraining from Vitamin D can cause problems such as fatigue, hair loss, depression, anxiety, bone weakness, and being prone to more diseases because your body isn’t fighting off the illnesses brought in from the outside. Aside from lacking vitamins, I’m also lacking a good number of minerals. The recommended amount of Calcium is about 1,000mgs, but my intake fell under 454mgs. Calcium is one of the most important minerals for the human body for the bones to grow stronger to prevent diseases such as osteoporosis, which is commonly found in women after the age of 50. Osteoporosis is a common disease where the bones become weak from loss of tissues around the bone structure. Not only is osteoporosis caused by lacking Calcium, but is also caused by Vitamin D deficiency, which are two things that my body lacks. If I don’t increase my vitamin/mineral intake it could be a huge determent to my

Calcium can also be supplemented with alfalfa, clover, dandelion, broccoli, and some fish, such as cod, salmon, and sardines (Dittmer and Thompson, 2011;Weichselbaum et al., 2013). Either exposure to sunlight or a supplemented vitamin D is also necessary for these metabolic processes to work successfully. Some fish are also good for supplementing vitamin D in the diet. Once calcium levels are back to homeostasis, the body will replenish the bone stores and there will be no lasting effects in an adult. Some animals are more susceptible to vitamin D and calcium deficiency, eg. growing animals, postpartum mammals, captive reptiles, pet rabbits, and

One of the most vital nutrients for good health is vitamin B12. It comes from animal foods and is responsible for big things such as the synthesis of DNA and the sheath that protects the nerve cells. There are lots of things you could be doing to deplete the essential B12 your body needs, including eating an unhealthy diet, smoking, and drinking, but there are also things like pregnancy and growing older that can be affecting how much B12 your body is getting.

According to my Iprofile Intake, I fell below the 100% of the RDA for vitamin A 35.3%, vitamin D 13.4% and vitamin E 10.8%. What I can do to help with my low vitamin A, is to eat more foods like sweet potatoes, carrots and spinach. As for vitamin D, I need to eat more fish, cheese, drink milk and yogart. Then to help with vitamin E, I need to eat more nuts, spinach and more fruits like mangos or kiwi.

• Many foods, especially foods high in vitamin K can interfere with warfarin and affect the PT and INR. Foods high in vitamin K include spinach, kale, broccoli, cabbage, collard and turnip greens, Brussels sprouts, peas, cauliflower, seaweed, and parsley, as well as beef and pork liver, green tea, and soybean oil. You should eat a consistent amount of foods high in vitamin K. Avoid major changes in your diet, or notify your health care provider before changing your diet. Arrange a visit with a dietitian to answer your

In order to get Vitamin A in your diet you must first consume beta-carotene found in orange fruits and veggies. Beta-carotene is broken down and processed by our body and turned into vitamin A which is essential for the eye to properly function and to discourage night blindness. Both A and C vitamins help to reduce the chance of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Carrot juice is an awesome way to ingest both Vitamins A and C.

Riboflavin has a recommendation of 1.1 milligrams and my intake for this was 1.0 milligrams, which could be increased just a little to meet the standards. Some foods that contained this vitamin are: turkey lunchmeat, 1% milk, steak, cheerios, bananas, ice cream, potato chips, lettuce, broccoli, mixed vegetables, donuts, chicken breast, mashed potatoes, and strawberries. This is another type of B vitamin and as mentioned before aids in the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose, which in turn is used to produce energy.

I do A multivitamin and the elastijoint support from Labrada. I do take BCAA and glutamine From metabolic nutrition and also their creation. That’s it at the moment. Oh and Vitamin C.

• Eat more fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in vitamin C, beta-carotene, and carotenoids. Good choices include citrus fruits,

Vitamin intake is a commonly overlooked necessity in basic nutritional health. What most people do not know is that certain vitamin deficiencies can cause many health risks and problems. Many people believe that are getting all the vitamins they need from their diet, however most of the time they are not. One of the most common vitamin deficiencies is the low intake of Vitamin D. There are some vitamins that are produced by the body such as vitamin K; however some of the most important vitamins are not produced by the body. Vitamin D is one of the vitamins that our body needs to function correctly that is not naturally produced by the body. Vitamin D can be consumed through

There are currently no special dietary recommendations for SCD patients, even with data suggesting that the life of the disease is to increase the food requirement, much like in pregnancy or growth. (Hibbert, Gee, & Hyacinth, 2010) SCD patients should have a diet that is high in calories and that is full of nutrients. They must also have adequate fluid consumption to decrease the risk of dehydration. Dehydration can bring on a sickle cell crisis (pain episode). Vitamin and mineral supplementation may also benefit a SCD patient. Blood levels of several vitamins and minerals including: vitamin A and carotenoids, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc are often low in these patients.
