Beschreibung
"Vitamin Needs By Age" explores the crucial, yet often overlooked, topic of age-specific nutrition. The book details how vitamin requirements change throughout life, from infancy to old age, and provides practical strategies for meeting those needs through diet and supplementation. Optimal vitamin intake is essential for overall health, impacting everything from growth and development in children to cognitive function in older adults. Did you know that older adults often require more Vitamin D due to decreased absorption efficiency? Or that adequate B Vitamins are crucial for cognitive function as we age? The book approaches this topic by first introducing the basics of vitamin metabolism and absorption. It then progresses through different life stages—infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age—detailing the specific vitamin needs and strategies for each. Separate chapters focus on key nutrients like Vitamin D, calcium, and B Vitamins. By addressing the specific vitamin requirements across the lifespan, "Vitamin Needs By Age" offers a nuanced understanding of how nutrition supports long-term health and wellness.
