    Vitamins are the building blocks that keep our bodies running; they help build muscle and bone, capture energy, heal wounds and more. But if our body doesn’t create vitamins, how do they get into our system? Ginnie Trinh Nguyen describes what vitamins are, how they get into our bodies -- and why they are so crucial.
    Lesson by Ginnie Trinh Nguyen, animation by The Moving Company Animation Studio.

      @@WarmBreezeStudios So you know you can die from dehydration because your cells will shrink and die, on the other hand, if you drink way too much water your cells will grow and explode and can kill you. Your body likes to be perfectly balanced and having too much of anything can hurt you. The body is very fascinating. I think the lethal dose is more than 3-4 liters in a few hours. Like Universe said it is very hard to do so no need to worry about it, but it is possible.

      The internet started out just for this exact reason (my interpretation)
      Being able to share information on a single platform was groundbreaking back then. What started out as simple text between Universities and some government sites morphed into the glorious internet we know today.
      I envy those who get to use this information to it's fullest ability as they grew up Pre-K and on
      Was always told the younger you are, the more you are able to retain. Starting from K-12 and on is fascinating concept. Would love to know if those who grew up with the technology are absorbing more information than those who haven't (depending on how quickly you started using the internet in your education years)

    Something semi-important to note as well is that our bodies naturally produce vitamins D (through cholesterol molecules in our skin cells) and K (through bacteria in our gut), so these typically don't need to be supplemented very much or at all through our diet.

      @manofgod7622 3 роки тому +28

      Our body produces vitamin D only in presense of sun. Without sun your body is unable to produce vitamin D, that’s why you need to supplement it in autumn and winter.

      @ntpgmr 5 років тому +21

      I think "Basic" would be a better descriptor than "alkaline". While they describe the same thing, they aren't describing it in the same way. Alkaline deals with nutrition, while Basic deals with chemistry. Connected, but not the exact same description. Some foods are acidic going by chemistry, but alkaline after going through the body. This means that either bile is basic and that is the proper word, or it's alkaline dealing with nutrition, but acidic dealing with chemistry.

    • @kingjoshua6287
      @kingjoshua6287 5 років тому +27

      I think the video is referring to BILE ACID not just bile. Bile acids are emulsifier of food especially fatty foods. On the other hand, bile is a pigment that makes your poops yellow/brownish.

    in 2:05 minutes of the video,the narration says "an acidic substance called bile" which is not correct. According to books and medical science,bile has a ph between 7 and 8 which makes it slightly alkaline and definitely not acidic. This can be a matter which the channel should look into. Otherwise,its a great video,truely enjoyed watching it. God bless Ted-ed

    Very good informative video.Personally,I take B-Complex Vitamins derived from plants,not synthetic B-Vitamins which are produced in the lab from petroleum derivatives.How about a video demonstrating the difference between plant-based vitamins and synthetics?

    Cute animation. How ever I came here to know what is vitamin jackpot, how much to take them but no help. I have some vitamin pills but I don't know do I have to use them.
