OPTIMUM NUTRITION
Already discussed in previous articles "Vital Vitamin Nutrition for Optimum Health" about the importance of vitamins and minerals to our bodies. In this article will discuss about one of water-soluble vitamin is Vitamin B6.
Vitamin B6 or known as pyridoxine plays an important role in the metabolism of protein, vitamin B6 which serves to help the working enzymes that play a role in the metabolism of protein. Vitamin B6 also plays a role in the use of glycogen in the muscles as an energy source during exercise. In addition, vitamin B6 (along with zinc, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C) is also required in the synthesis of hemoglobin in red blood cells that function to carry oxygen to body tissues.
For those of you who are physically active may need more vitamin B6 and vitamin B1 and B2. This is because the high activity can reduce the rate of absorption of nutrients (including vitamins) so that the amount of nutrients in the waste becomes higher. In addition, for those of you who frequent exercise, exercise can also increase the amount of nutrients needed by the body. This relates to the increasing number of enzymes in mitochondria that require these nutrients to be working, and the increased need for nutrients to maintain and repair body cells.
In addition, other benefits of vitamin B6 are as a producer of energy, amino acid metabolism and fatty acids, produce hormones, maintain healthy cardiovascular, nervous and immune system, healthy skin, hair and red blood cells, improving the cell's genetic material (DNA), change the amino acid tryptophan into niacin.
When someone deficient in vitamin B6, they will feel tired, not excited, skin diseases, oral inflammation, anemia, kidney stones, cardiovascular disease. Daily requirement of vitamin B6 for adults is about 1.3 to 1.7 mg.
Vitamin B6 is found in some foods, such as: avocado, banana, meat, liver, fish, nuts, and cereals, wheat, and eggs.
So, get healthy life with optimum nutrition..
Healthy Regards
