NEED TO REVITILAZE YOUR MIND AND BODY? VITAMINS ARE A MUST
Hello Everyone,
Hope all of you had a nice weekend.
Many of you have asked me after class where do I get my energy from or better yet, what are you taking or drinking.....whatever it is we'll take some of that so we can keep up with you...LOL
Well, I must stress the importance of taking daily doses of vitamins & minerals to compensate for what we don't get through the foods we consume....
The vitamin B-Complex refers to all of the known essential water-soluble vitamins except for vitamin C. These include thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) pyridoxine ( B6), biotin, folic acid and the cobalamins (vitamin B12).
Each member of the B-Complex group has a unique structure and performs unique functions in the human body.
I list below the benefits they produce.
Vitamin B1, B2, B3 and biotin participate in different aspects of energy production.
Vitamin B6, is essential for amino acid metabolism and the breakdown and utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Vitamin B12, and folic acid facilitate the steps required for cell division, metabolic functions, energy production and immune response. Both participate in the conversion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy.
Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid is essential for normal body processes including the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins and the production of glucose. It assists in the break-down of fats and the production of cholesterol and certain hormones.
Vitamin C, is also included in this unique formula and adds a synergistic affect by; boosting immune system anti-inflammatory protection fights fatigue & stress lowers cholesterol
I contribute my energy level and stamina to consuming B-Complex Vitamins...
There are many different milligrams of these vitamins you can purchase over the counter which can be confusing.....Therefore, I sought the advise and administration of the B-Complex from a licensed RN.
The benefits outweigh the imbalances we may face down the road by developing deficiencies that could have been prevented had we been properly informed.........I've seen the weekly benefits and the quick recovery time after my workouts.

I like the low-calorie recipe suggestions and I'll be trying a few. Initially I was just concerned with toning my body but I realized I can stand to lose a few pounds. The light bulb went on to say although I'm not heavy I have fat around my heart. I also hope to gain the increased energy so many people talk about having after exercising and will try B vitamin complex.
