Vitamins and their precise requirements have been controversial since their discovery in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was the combined efforts of epidemiologists, physicians, chemists, and physiologists that led to our modern day understanding of vitamins and minerals. After years of observation, experiments, and trial and error, they were able to distinguish that some diseases were not caused by infections or toxins—a common belief at the time—but by vitamin deficiencies. [2] Chemists worked to identify a vitamin’s chemical structure so it could be replicated. Soon after, researchers determined specific amounts of vitamins needed to avoid diseases of deficiency.In 1912, biochemist Casimir Funk was the first to coin the term “vitamin” in a research publication that was accepted by the medical community, derived from “vita” meaning life, and “amine” referring to a nitrogenous substance essential for life. [3] Funk is considered the father of vitamin therapy, as he identified nutritional components that were missing in diseases of deficiency like scurvy (too little vitamin C), beri-beri (too little vitamin B1), pellagra (too little vitamin B3), and rickets (too little vitamin D). The discovery of all vitamins occurred by 1948.Vitamins were obtained only from food until the 1930s when commercially made supplements of certain vitamins became available. The U.S government also began fortifying foods with specific nutrients to prevent deficiencies common at the time, such as adding iodine to salt to prevent goiter, and adding folic acid to grain products to reduce birth defects during pregnancy. In the 1950s, most vitamins and multivitamins were available for sale to the general public to prevent deficiencies, some receiving a good amount of marketing in popular magazines such as promoting cod liver oil containing vitamin D as bottled sunshine.

Hello, We're come on today's podcast and will appreciate you
guys listening to this podcast. My name is William jumps
in on this podcast all been guiding you guys on
hows and fitness. On today's podcast episode will be discussing
about vintamins, vitamins and minerals. Then on these podcasts will
(00:23):
also be given all their health benefit The types under
name called in science, vintamins are minerals that are micronu
trends and required by the body to carry out a
range of normal functions. However, these micronu trends are not
produced in our body and must be delivered and derived
(00:48):
from the food we eat. Ventamins are organic symptans that
are generally classified as either fast solubles or water solubles.
Fast soluble vitamin is includes vitamin A, vitamin D, and
vitamin A and vitamin K, which dissolves in fat and
tens to accommodate in the body. Water celebo vitamins include
(01:12):
vitamin C and the B. Complex vitamins such as the
vitamin B, sics, metamine, bitworth and the fold, which must
dissolved in what are before they can be absorbed by
the body and therefore cannot be stored. Any water slob
of vitaminis unused by the body is primarily lost through urine.
(01:36):
Minerals are in organic orgaments present in the soil and
water which are absorbed by plants or comsumed by animals.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So this podcast, as.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
We said earlier, are actually listed the types of vitaminus
who have, which are actually named their types, and also
explained the factors that determines them. And remember I told
you a kind of vitaminin is actually not stalled in
the body.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So please put attention.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Let's proceed, and the US the National Academy of the
Medicine formerly the Institution of Medicine, develops new trends referring value.
Is called the Directory Reference Intakes for Vitamins and Minerals. Now,
please let me give you a collectable of the vitamins
we have according to science.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
We have the vitamin A, we have the vitamin B,
and we'll have more and more.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
But on this podcast, I will actually be giving you
a little big idea that you need to know. So,
vitamins in the body produces and give us caution.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So it gives us.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Nutrient in the body which helps us in our daily life,
so also helps us to prevent us from diseases and infections.
Most vitamins are being consumed from fruit or mostly being
communed from fruit. Now let's talk about a diet that
includes plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and protein packages.
(03:11):
We should provide most of the nutrients needed for good health,
but not everyone managed to eat a healthy date.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
MOSTI vitamins can play an.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Important rule women uturizing or nutritional appointment are not met
through diet alone. Now let me give you an addition
of acts they need to know on this podcast. Vitamins
and their precise repairments have been controversial since their discovery
in the late eighteenth centuries and the early nineteenth centuries.
(03:41):
It was combined effort of the ape milogists and the physicians,
the chemists and the physiologists that led to our modern
day understanding of the vitamins and the minerals. After years
of observation, experiments and triers and elogs that were able
to distin which that some diseases we are not caused
by infections or toxins, a common belief at the time,
(04:05):
but by deteramining deficiencies.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So what do you have to understand this.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
According to the research percent they discover that some disease
we are not actually caused by infections or tosins. So
why this podcast is actually important for you is that
if you don't understand the values and importance of vitamins
in your body, it might actually lead to some diseases
when you lack some.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Amounts of intaminacy in your body.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And as this process you might actually think is actually
a disease or an infection but you don't know is
because of the lack of vitaminous in your body.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So the key value and the key.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Importance of listening to this podcast that I'm trying to
let you know that vitaminous is one of the exexual
things that we need in all the day life.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And please I will actually reminding up on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
We'll be uploading more podcast like these on nutrition, on health,
and on true crime. Please give us a comment and
follow us because we will also be uploading.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
More that ladies.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
If you want to actually know the important and help
benefits of most throughs our day like banana, apple and
more and more, please give us a fruit because we'll
be uploading more content about this and thank you for
listening to our podcast and have everyone at full day.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
