What foods contain Vitamin B?!
Answers: Thanks.
Definition: One of the B vitamins, a group of water-soluble vitamins that participate in many of the chemical reactions in the body. Thiamine is important in the production of energy.
Food sources: Thiamine (vitamin B1) is found in fortified breads, cereals, pasta, whole grains (especially wheat germ), lean meats (especially pork), fish, dried beans, peas, and soybeans. Dairy products and milk, fruits, and vegetables are not very high in thiamine, but when consumed in a large amounts they become a significant source.
Functions: Thiamine (vitamin B1) helps the body cells convert carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for the functioning of the heart, muscles and nervous system.
Recommendations: Recommended daily allowances (RDAs) are defined as the levels of intake of essential nutrients that the Food and Nutrition Board judged to be adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of almost all healthy persons. The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods from the food guide pyramid.
Side effects: A deficiency of thiamine can cause weakness, fatigue, and nerve damage. A total absence of thiamine can cause the disease called beriberi, which is very rare in the United States. There is no known toxicity to thiamine.
I really hoped that this helped...good luck!
