As a contemporary worker, it is inevitable that the body will have various problems: the appetite has deteriorated, the corners of the mouth have sores, the tongue has ulcerated, the skin has darkened...
At this time, you should reflect: is it a lack of vitamin B2?
In the "big family" of the vitamin B family, vitamin B2 may not be familiar to most people, and today Xiaojiu will come to science popularization.
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a member of the B vitamins and is also one of the nutrients necessary for the human body.
However, since the human body cannot synthesize vitamin B2, it can only be supplemented by a daily diet. Vitamin B2 has many effects, mainly in the following aspects:
1. Improve myocardial function, prevent arteriosclerosis, prevent cardiovascular disease.
2. Protect the mucous membrane and sebaceous glands of the skin hair follicles to prevent hair loss.
3. Relieve female vaginal dryness and pain, prevent painful sexual intercourse, and improve sexual desire.
4. Combined with vitamin E and iron to promote human metabolism, accelerate blood circulation and enhance cold tolerance.
In addition, vitamin B2 can also relieve eye fatigue, diuresis and swelling. Clinically, vitamin B2 can be used to treat oral-reproductive syndromes, ulcers, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases.
When the body is deficient in vitamin B2, what symptoms will occur in the body?
Eyes: hyperemia of the conjunctiva of the eyeball, hyperplasia of blood vessels around the cornea, blisters appear at the junction of the cornea and conjunctiva, and symptoms such as photophobia, lacrimation, blurred vision appear, and ulcers appear in the lower part of the cornea in severe cases.
Oral cavity: swelling, ulceration, or pain in the lips, leading to angular cheilitis; swelling, pain, and erythema of the tongue, leading to glossitis, or purple-red tongue with erythema in the middle.
Skin: Sebum secretion is strong, and the appearance of mild erythema leads to seborrheic dermatitis of the skin.
General: tiredness, fatigue, anemia.
Vitamin B2 deficiency can be more severe for pregnant women and children. Vitamin B2 deficiency in pregnant women may cause fetal skeletal deformities, and vitamin B2 deficiency in children may affect normal growth and development.
Vitamin B2 has so many effects, and it is necessary for the human body, is it not the more the better?
Of course not, the so-called "too much", vitamin B2 can not be blindly supplemented, so as not to lead to excessive intake, affecting physical health.
If necessary, vitamin B2 can be supplemented by taking a vitamin B2 supplement, but pay attention to reasonable dosage.
In general, the daily intake of vitamin B2 in adult men is 1.4-1.8 mg, the daily intake of vitamin B2 in adult women is 1.2-1.3 mg, and the daily intake of vitamin B2 in children aged 0-10 varies from 0.4-1.2 mg.
In fact, for most people, there is no need to supplement vitamin B2 with additional vitamin B2 supplements, just maintain a normal diet to consume enough vitamin B2.
First, in daily life, foods rich in vitamin B2 include animal liver, green leafy vegetables, beans and soy products, milk and dairy products, and fruits such as bananas and oranges.
Second, the biological stability of vitamin B2 is relatively poor, the higher the temperature, the longer the heating time, the more serious the loss of vitamins, so the cooking method should be simple, the cooking time should not be too long, and do not heat repeatedly.
Vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 are both B water-soluble vitamins, the difference is that the human body can not synthesize vitamin B2, but the human intestine microorganisms can synthesize a small amount of vitamin B6.
In addition, the indications for vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 are also different. Vitamin B2 is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of angular cheilitis, glossitis, conjunctivitis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc., vitamin B6 is mainly used for insomnia, anemia, loss of appetite, low mood and so on.
B vitamins are essential trace elements for maintaining good health and helping to prevent disease. This large family has many members and is highly skilled. Not only vitamin B2, when the body lacks any kind of vitamin, there will be problems of one kind or another.
However, we supplement vitamins, try not to rely on supplements, as long as we maintain a normal diet, we can basically meet the vitamin needs. #Breeze Project##Rumor Zero Plan ##39健康超能团 #
