Vitamins


Vitamins are dived in two groups. Fat- soluble vitamin and water- soluble vitamin. Each are classified by the components or materials which they dissolve. Fat –soluble vitamins are vitamin A, D, E, and K which are stored in the body. After these vitamins are digested they dissolve in fat before they are absorbed in the bloodstream, then the body use what they need and the rest are stored for a future use. In contrast the body does not store water- soluble vitamins. These vitamins are ingested and dissolve in water, then go to the blood stream. Due to this process the body needs to replace these vitamins every day in order to maintain our body healthy. The excess amounts of the water –soluble vitamins are eliminated in the urine. I am in my nutrition class which I love it. I really think that our body is an amazing thing, able to process and handling many difficult functions. I did share this information with you guys, because it is important the knowledge of how our body metabolize
