September is the month of recovery: of school, of work, of activities.
It is time to start over and good resolutions and the current situation, still of emergency and alert for the coronavirus pandemic, must not make us forget to take care of ourselves, of our mind and body.
This is where vitamins come into play, powerful allies of the organism and trump cards to get back on the right foot.
But what are the benefits of vitamins?
Here are the main ones and how they allow us to take care of ourselves
For the body: vitamin D
Vitamin D has a beneficial effect on the whole body: it helps strengthen bones, regulates and protects the immune system, improves mood and reduces the risks associated with certain heart diseases.
Although it is present in some foods, such as oily fish and eggs, the main source of vitamin D is exposure to the sun, because it is thanks to UVB rays that it forms in the skin and is then absorbed by the body.
For hair: B vitamins
B vitamins are essential to take care of hair. B1 and B8, for example, help regulate the life cycle of the hair, B2 enhances sebum synthesis and B4 helps optimize the function of hair follicles.
Last but not least, B5, which promotes growth and B9, which is the basis of the synthesis of keratin, essential for the well-being of the entire hair.
For the lips: vitamin E
Vitamin E has important antioxidant properties capable of protecting against damage caused by free radicals and external agents such as smoke, wind and pollution.
Present in many lipsticks, this vitamin helps not only to protect the lips, but also to hydrate them.
For the nails: vitamin A, vitamin H and vitamin E
The best for the well-being of the nails are the fat-soluble vitamins, such as A and E, and the water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin H. Together they contribute to the reconstruction and capillary regeneration, favor growth and fight the fragility of the nails.
For the skin: vitamin C
Vitamin C is very important for the well-being of the whole organism and, in particular, for that of the skin: it stimulates the formation of collagen and elastin, essential for maintaining tone and fight the signs of aging.
Furthermore, this vitamin is a powerful antioxidant that helps counteract the damage caused by external factors, first of all pollution.
