Boosting metabolism energy

-

THE modern urban lifestyle is different from the traditiona­l one decades ago. People are now constantly on the move, with busy work schedules and various family or social demands.

They sometimes find it difficult to get through the day because of lack of energy. Lifestyle issues such as lack of sleep and not exercising enough can cause tiredness, but experts say that numerous vitamin and mineral deficienci­es may also contribute to fatigue.

Vitamins are energy-yielding and they work alongside some of the enzymes in the body to help cleave the energy from food.

They play a vital role in energy recovery and without them, the body is unable to process most of the macronutri­ents eaten, namely carbohydra­tes, proteins and fats. Of all the consumed energy-yielding vitamins, one of the most important vitamin is vitamin Bs.

Vitamin Bs perform some of the most complex and interestin­g functions within the body, not just in energy metabolism.

This group of vitamins is all-water soluble so it needs to be supplied to the body at relatively frequent intervals and in amounts that compensate for losses, through excretion.

Vitamin Bs are able to perform as a lone nutrient or symbiotica­lly, as a complex. They are essential and as such have specific roles to play.

Aside from Vitamin Bs, there are some other nutrients which have an energyyiel­ding role.

More commonly known for its antioxidan­t properties, vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, has recently received some positive attention for its role in improving performanc­e and decreasing fatigue.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has responded favourably to the claims made for vitamin C and its energyyiel­ding potential, and its role in reducing tiredness and fatigue. (1)

Vitamin C is essential to human health but cannot be synthesise­d in the body – for this reason, it is an essential dietary component.
