Ebola Virus Disease

Vitamins are a specific group of organic compounds essential in small quantities for healthy human growth, metabolism development, and body function; found in minute amounts in plant and animal foods or sometimes produced synthetically; deficiencies of specific vitamins produce specific disorders.

That's right, not getting enough of the daily requirements of vitamins could lead to the development of certain disorders like cracks at the corners of the mouth,  a red, scaly rash on your face (and sometimes elsewhere) and hair loss, tingling, prickling, and numbness in hands, feet, or elsewhere,  crazy muscle cramps in the form of stabbing pains in toes, calves, arches of feet, and backs, noting that these symptoms can be combined with anxiety, depression, anaemia, fatigue, and hormone imbalances.

These  vitamin deficiencies may range from  Iron, zinc, B vitamins like folate (B9), B6, and B12 and B vitamins like niacin (B3), riboflavin (B2). It's standard if you're a vegetarian to not get enough iron, zinc, and B12,  Biotin (B7), known as the hair vitamin. While your body stores fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), it doesn't store most B vitamins, which are water-soluble. Body builders take note: Eating raw eggs makes you vulnerable, because a protein in raw eggs called avidin inhibits the body's ability to absorb biotin. Also body builders may loose essential fatty acids and vitamins A and D, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. "If it's happening frequently, it's a tip-off that you're lacking in these," . And if you're training hard, you can lose more minerals (and water-soluble B vitamins) through heavy sweating.







EVD : The deadliest disease of the decade







AS SOON AS YOU FIND YOURSELF SHOWING ANY OF THESE
SIGNS PLEASE VISIT THE NEAREST HEALTH FACILITY AND TELL
THEM HOW YOU FEEL AND HAVE REACTED IN THE PAST DAYS.

















































Getting a balanced dose of vitamin C especially, can help build a strong immune system which could combat the Ebola Virus Disease and make the body system impenetrable by any disease. Experts say the fruit bat which is the main carrier of the disease is immune to the virus, although not because its body produces the required antibody but because it feeds mainly on fruits which alternatively gives vitamin supplements especially vitamin C.   




WAYS TO PREVENT IT FROM SPREADING ARE JUST BASIC
HYGIENE ROUTINE THAT SHOULD BE EASY TO ADHERE TO.
