Today, we’re cracking open the Vitamin B treasure chest ๐ช๐ฅ, it’s the secret sauce for turning sunshine into fuel and fatigue into fierceness. Let’s spill the beans (literally and nutritionally)! ๐๐ฑ
๐ฐ๏ธ A Brief & Brilliant History of Vitamin B ๐งญ
Once upon a time in the late 1800s, people were getting sick, really sick. Diseases like beriberi and pellagra were running rampant in Asia and the American South, leaving scientists scratching their heads. ๐ค๐ญ
๐ก Fun Fact: In 1884, a Japanese naval doctor named Kanehiro Takaki prevented beriberi in sailors just by adding more barley and veggies to their diet! ๐โต
But it was in 1897, when Dutch doctor Christiaan Eijkman observed that chickens fed polished white rice got sick, while those eating whole grain rice stayed healthy, that the first B vitamin, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), was uncovered! ๐๐พ๐ฅ
๐ฅ Fast forward: Scientists kept digging and discovered B vitamins are not just one vitamin, but an entire family of nutrients, all playing unique and crucial roles in keeping us alive, energized, and radiant. ๐๐
