Vitamins and Minerals

We just got done studying Vitamins and Minerals in Nurtrition class and a couple of the Vitamins do things I never knew, so I thought I would share! I am a major advocate of vitamins so I couldn't have been more interested in this topic anyway!

All the "B" vitamins are great for you but a couple in particular were interesting to me! Niacin, considered B3 has been proven to lower you LDL cholesterol.

Folate, helps you divide and replicate your red blood cells and it also prevents Spina bifida from occurring in fetuses.

Vitamin D might help prevent cancer, so keep tanning, eating your fatty fish and fortified milk and cereal.

And finally I thought this one was the really neat. Vitamin B6 can help prevent morning sickness! Granted you have to take 70X the RDA but my Professor said his wife tried it and it worked!
