B3 - example that food is medicine
Niacin was long considered a mere part of the diet until it was discovered that its deficiency causes skin, digestive, and mental problems known as pellagra. Doctor Goldberger proved that the cause of this disease is not an infection but a one-sided diet without vitamin B3. He conducted an experiment on himself and his colleagues, who consumed exclusively poor diets and began to show symptoms of pellagra. However, when they added nutrients rich in niacin to their diet, the symptoms disappeared. In 1937, niacin was isolated from the liver, confirming its importance and nutritional value.
B-komplex
Z detstva si slovko "békomplex" pamätám veľmi dobre av podstate som nikdy nevedel o čo presne ide. Mladším ročníkom zrejme pod týmto slovkom v hlave nabehne drum&bass, pretože pod menom B-Complex vystupuje slovenský DJ a producent Matúš Lenický (hit Beautiful Lies). Ak budeme prísne vedeckí, tak B komplex je skupina vitamínov B1 až B12 .
B5 - Guardian of Vitality and Beauty
“Is it just another vitamin... or?” one might think, but the more we learn about pantothenic acid, the more it fascinates us. Vitamin B5 plays a crucial role in converting food into energy, supports concentration, mental well-being, and even skin regeneration. Without it, the body would not be able to properly produce hormones or fight stress. It is also a substance that is hidden in every cell of our body, accompanies us from birth, and contributes to sufficient energy, skin health, and mental acuity. Although we may overlook it, its importance is undeniable, and its name is no coincidence. It comes from the Greek word “panto”, meaning “everywhere.” And indeed, it is omnipresent, irreplaceable, and somewhat mysterious. If we start exploring where this essential vitamin is found, it's in eggs, nuts, whole grains, shellfish, avocados, salmon, liver, kidneys, beef, yeast, vegetables... And if we've just realized that our diet is low in these foods, we should consider supplementing B5. After just a few days, we would notice a change. We would wake up with more energy, have a clearer mind, and even see an improvement in our skin. Colleagues would notice that we work faster, are more creative, and less stressed. Pantothenic acid will help us get back in shape. And for us, it will no longer be just another substance on the list of vitamins.
Histamine Control
Histamine is often perceived negatively, especially for its role in allergic reactions and intolerance. As with many things in life, black-and-white thinking is not suitable for this biogenic amine. As a neurotransmitter, it participates in many critical processes. In defending the body, for example, it supports the enlargement of blood vessels, making it easier for immune cells to access the site of inflammation. At the same time, it stimulates the production of gastric juices (essential for food processing), regulates the sleep cycle, controls appetite, and plays a role in learning, memory, and emotions. Histamine naturally occurs in the human body, and its balance is crucial for health. In the digestive system, it's broken down by the enzyme diamine oxidase. However, if histamine intake is greater than the body can break down, histamine intolerance develops. This imbalance can be caused by stress, poor lifestyle, medicines, or other factors. Excess histamine can lead to unpleasant symptoms, often resembling food allergies or digestive issues. It's essential to understand histamine as an important helper in our body.
