An instructor is explaining the functions, sources, and intake recommendations for vitamins. The instructor realizes additional instruction is required when a student says:
 
  1. It is vital to consume an adequate amount of most vitamins in our daily diet or through supplements because the body cannot manufacture many of them.
  2. With exposure of the skin to sunlight 15 minutes twice per week, the body can synthesize a significant amount of the needed vitamin D.
  3. Fat-soluble vitamins serve as coenzymes for metabolism throughout the body and help to stimulate appetite, maintain healthy nervous and integumentary systems, and assist with growth.
  4. Because fat-soluble vitamins can be stored, they can become toxic when consumed in excessively large doses over a long period of time.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
