question

Water soluble (Vitamin C and all of the B vitamins):

answer

Water soluble vitamins are vitamins that our bodies do not store. These vitamins dissolve in water when they are ingested, then go in to the blood stream. The body keeps what it needs at that time, and excess amounts are excreted in the urine. Since they can't be stored, everybody needs a continuous supply of water soluble vitamins in order to stay healthy

question

Fat Soluble (Vitamins A, D, E and K):

answer

Fat soluble vitamins are those that are normally stored in the body. When these vitamins are ingested, they dissolve in fat. In a person with a healthy digestive system, the body uses what it needs at that time and stores the rest for future use. Since people with cystic fibrosis often have pancreatic insufficiency and do not digest or store fats properly, the excess is not stored but excreted in the stool. Due to this, people with cystic fibrosis need a continuous supply of fat soluble vitamins just as they do with water soluble vitamins.

question

Explain free radicals.

answer

Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that have one or more unpaired electrons. They are a normal part of everyday life, and are produced during activities like exercising or digestion (when our bodies convert food into energy). Free radicals are highly reactive, but our bodies have a natural defense system, so in small numbers, they are not a big problem. However, exposure to certain environmental factors like pollution and UV radiation can also trigger the formation of free radicals. An abundance of unchecked free radicals may, over time, impact overall health. Antioxidants are compounds in foods and beverages that can help scavenge free radicals, reducing their activity and supporting health. Vitamins C, E and A (as beta-carotene), and the mineral selenium, as well as certain plant nutrients (such as polyphenols) can act as antioxidants.
