In this difficult period for everyone - the conditions of a coronavirus pandemic, stress, inability to move in the fresh air and sunlight, more and more people are interested in whether it is necessary to take vitamins and how useful it is.
We should also take into account that the factors listed so far coincide with the spring season, when the body is deficient in vitamins. The need for vitamins is also greater with pregnancy, breastfeeding, intense physical and mental work, and when an infectious disease occurs.
Vitamins are substances needed in minute quantities for the human body to have normal vital activity. About 30 vitamins are known to affect growth, the normal functioning of the nervous, immune and endocrine systems, blood formation and metabolism. One of the strongest for strengthening our immune system, actively involved in the process of destroying viruses, including the now dangerous new coronavirus, is vitamin C. Along with it, it is advisable to take - vitamin D, magnesium and selenium, which also help the immune system in its fight against viruses and bacteria.
When there is a deficiency of vitamins (hypovitaminosis), the possibility of disease conditions or the susceptibility of the body to external infection increases. It should be clear that even with an intake of a larger amount of vitamins (hypervitaminosis) your health is also under threat.
For these reasons, taking vitamins is advisable, but it should be in moderation and necessarily combined with a varied, healthy diet, as well as following the recommendation of our personal doctor. Only in this way can we be sure that taking vitamins will lead to an improvement in the general condition of our organism.
