Vitamin E is an umbrella term for a group of eight fat soluble compounds (tocopherols) that are found in a wide variety of wholefoods. These compounds, of which alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active, have a number of functions in the body.
Vitamin E is an important antioxidant whose primary role in the body is to scavenge free radicals – these are rogue atoms or atomic groups that have lost at least one electron, forcing them to steal electrons from neighbouring molecules in the hope of stabilizing themselves. Whilst unsurprisingly this can cause havoc in the body, vitamin E has the ability to neutralize these free radicals thus protecting the cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin E deficiency is rare due to its ability, whilst working in concert with a number of other compounds (including vitamin C), to restore reduced levels of vitamin E in the body. The richest source of vitamin E is wheat germ, other foods that contain significant amounts include eggs, nuts, sunflower seeds, cold-pressed vegetable oils and avocados.
Vitamin E contributes to:
· the protection of cells from oxidative stress
· the regeneration of the reduced form of Vitamin E
Proteins are a group of biological compounds which are present in every live cell, organ and tissue of the body. Meaning “first” or “of prime importance” in Greek, proteins participate in every cellular process occurring in the body. Proteins are made up of structures called amino acids, there are a total of 21 amino acids, 9 are essential, the rest are nonessential – you must consume the essential amino acids in your diet because your body cannot make them.
Dietary protein supports bone health in three main ways: by supplying the raw material required to construct soft bone matrix, by increasing plasma IGF1 and by promoting muscle growth and retention. IGF1 is a growth hormone that stimulates and increases the activity of osteoblasts (cells which secrete the substance of bone). It is especially important to ensure that children get enough protein since they are still developing and it is necessary to ensure their growth is unimpaired. Proteins play an important role in muscle contraction and coordination, they are present in the muscle tissues in the form of many microfilaments and provide muscle structure. Muscle growth depends on the adequacy of proteins in the body. Proteins function as building blocks for muscles, bones and cartilage, opt for a variety of whole foods to meet your protein needs including; grass fed meat and poultry, eggs, dairy, seeds, beans and nuts.
Protein contributes to:
· the maintenance of normal bones
· a growth in muscle mass
· the maintenance of muscle mass
· Protein is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children.
