Conversation with children of the preparatory group “About the benefits of vitamins, and why do people need them?”
Good day, dear Maamites! I've been away for so long, but now new material has appeared and I'm here. I hasten to share with you a conversation with preschoolers about the benefits of vitamins, and why do people need them? The topic is important and useful!
Goal: to give children knowledge about the benefits of vitamins for our body. Introduce the concept of “vitamins A, B, C, D, E” and the products that contain them. To consolidate children's knowledge about the need for vitamins in the human body, about the benefits of foods that contain vitamins.
Material: pictures of food for the game “Where are you, vitamin?”, baskets of fruits and vegetables.
Educator: - Guys, today we will talk about the benefits of vitamins and the healthiest foods. Do you know what the healthiest foods are? (vegetables, berries, fruits)
Why are vegetables and fruits so beneficial?
(they contain a lot of vitamins)
That's right!
What do you think, at what time of year do we get the most vitamins? (Summer, autumn)
Absolutely right! In autumn there is a large harvest of vegetables and fruits.
All vegetables and fruits contain a lot of useful substances. When we eat them, our body receives a large supply of vitamins so that we are healthy and do not get sick.
If we do not receive vitamins, then even the healthiest person will begin to weaken, his teeth will begin to deteriorate, his hair will begin to fall out and his eyesight will deteriorate. He will always feel tired and will start to get sick more often. A person needs all vitamins without exception. But each vitamin also has its own direct purpose.
All vitamins are divided into groups A, B, C, D, E. Do you want to know what healthy foods belong to them?
And so, the first vitamin A was called the growth vitamin, but its role in the body is limited to more than just that. Lack of vitamin A causes eye disease. This disease manifests itself in the fact that a person who sees well during the day sees poorly at dusk, and in the dark almost completely loses vision. Also, due to a lack of vitamin A, our skin loses its elasticity and becomes rough. What foods contain the most of this vitamin?
First of all, vitamin A is found in butter, egg yolk, milk, and fish. Also in vegetables and fruits: carrots, onions, pumpkin, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes and apricots.
The second vitamin B - with a lack of this vitamin, a person’s ability to work is impaired, and digestion is also disrupted. We get tired quickly and cannot concentrate on important matters. What foods will help us? These are rye and wheat bread, oatmeal, buckwheat and barley porridge. There is a lot of vitamin B in meat.

"Glutton"
One pot-bellied big guy (Round movement with both hands around the stomach)
Ate a dozen rolls on an empty stomach (Put all your fingers in front of you)
He washed down the rolls with milk , (Make an imaginary glass with your fingers and then drink from it)
Ate the chicken in one piece. (Spread the fingers of one hand wide, palm up, bring an imaginary piece to your mouth)
Then he roasted the lamb (Show the horns with your index fingers)
And directed it into the belly of the poor (Stroke the belly)
The big guy swelled up like a ball (Draw a large circle in the air)
The glutton had a blow here. (Lightly hit the forehead with your palm)
The third is vitamin C - it promotes the consumption of oxygen by the cells of our body. If there is not enough vitamin C in food, then the body's resistance to infectious diseases decreases, drowsiness appears, pain appears when brushing teeth, and gums bleed. Vitamin C is found in fresh vegetables, berries and fruits. It is especially abundant in green onions, black currants, and rose hips. In fresh and sour cabbage, tomatoes, radishes and turnips, potatoes. There is a lot of vitamin C in lemons and oranges.
The fourth vitamin D - if this vitamin is not enough, the human body will become poorly absorbed calcium and phosphorus, the bones will become weak, soften and bend. Vitamin D is found in foods such as: fish, liver, butter, egg yolk, milk. Vitamin D is also found in the rays of the sun, which means we need to spend more time in the air and get the vitamin through ultraviolet rays.
And finally, the fifth vitamin E is anti-aging. Due to the lack of this vitamin, there is a lack of coordination of movements, rapid fatigue, lethargy, vision deteriorates, and the person looks pale and sickly. What foods contain vitamin E? Vegetable oil, nuts, milk and dairy products, lettuce and parsley, beans, rosehip tomatoes, white cabbage.
Vitamins are substances that our body needs to absorb food, they increase performance, resistance to infectious diseases, and promote the growth of our body.
Now, let's play the game “Where are you, vitamin?” and find out how you remember which foods belong to which vitamins. ( The game is played on the carpet. The teacher shows or names a vitamin, children choose which foods form this vitamin).
Game “Where are you, vitamin?”
Educator: - Guys, what new did we learn today? What vitamins did you get acquainted with, name them (A, B, C, D, E)
. What are vitamins for? How do we get them?
Well done! You remembered everything perfectly!
Literature:
“Baby Nutrition” is a book about how to properly feed a child in order to raise him healthy and strong. Moscow 1958
Vitamin A
If the child is often sick, gets tired even after light exertion; if he has a lag in growth and physical strength in comparison with his peers, as well as problems with the digestive system, blurred vision (especially in the dark), problems with skin and hair. Vitamin A will be an effective helper in solving these problems.
Vitamin A helps improve metabolism, gain muscle mass and achieve normal growth characteristic of a certain age - which is why it is called the vitamin for child growth. In addition, it has a beneficial effect on the immune system, increasing the resistance of the child’s body to viral colds, and in the case of an existing cold, it allows it to be more easily and comfortably tolerated. In addition, this vitamin has a positive effect on vision, the condition of the skin, hair, nails, and makes wound healing easier and faster. Compatibility. In vitamin complexes, vitamin A combines well with vitamins C and E and Zinc, while vitamin A itself helps absorb iron, which is important for the child’s body.
What does vitamin compatibility mean?
Above we indicated the compatibility of vitamins. It can be both good and bad. In the latter case, this means that the simultaneous use of some of them impairs absorption and does not provide the desired beneficial effect. This often happens when parents, without consulting a doctor, purchase separate vitamins and the child takes them all at once.
This negative factor is taken into account in ALFAVIT vitamin and mineral complexes. All the vitamins and microelements present in their composition are perfectly combined and give a synergistic effect - they promote the best mutual absorption in the body (pharmaceutical interaction) and/or enhance each other’s effects (pharmacological effects).

In order for a child to be healthy, active and study well, he must receive all the necessary vitamins and minerals. They help regulate many metabolic processes in the body.
It is not surprising that parents try to buy the best for their child. But there are so many options for children's vitamins in pharmacies that it is sometimes difficult to decide.
Therefore, we have compiled a rating of the best vitamins for children and tell you what you need to pay attention to.
- If your child is not eating well,
choose vitamins that contain vitamin C (ascorbic acid). - If your child's eyes get tired,
take vitamins that contain vitamin A, copper and zinc. - When a child is actively growing,
he needs calcium, phosphorus, selenium and potassium. - In stressful situations
(moving, starting school), it is better to choose a complex with B vitamins.
Choose vitamins from our list, but don’t expect instant results: the cumulative effect of taking vitamins “reveals” from the second or third week of taking them.
Vitamin E
A deficiency of vitamin E in a child's body manifests itself in extensive and varied symptoms. First of all, this is a weakened immune system and susceptibility to frequent colds. There is also delayed intellectual and physical development, impaired speech, coordination of movements, and reflex motor skills.
Vitamin E is necessary for children in all of the above cases. As an immunomodulator, it develops the baby’s immune system and increases the body’s resistance to colds and other diseases. Also, this vitamin (like A and C) is a powerful antioxidant; it protects cells and blood vessels from the harmful effects of free radicals, supports metabolism, ensuring the growth and development of the child.
Compatibility. The vitamin is well compatible with vitamin C and selenium, and in small quantities improves the absorption of vitamin A.
Signs of vitamin deficiency in children
The most acute lack of vitamins in a child manifests itself in vitamin deficiency. This is a state of the body in which for quite a long time any vitamin or a whole group of them is completely or almost completely absent. The most common signs of vitamin deficiency are weakness, increased fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and impaired physical and mental development of the child. Also among the characteristic symptoms:
- lack of appetite;
- depression, irritability, tearfulness;
- decreased immunity, frequent colds;
- insomnia, difficulty waking up in the morning;
- skin itching, peeling;
- poor posture, deformation of skeletal bones.
Such painful changes are usually accompanied by a significant decrease in the child’s activity in kindergarten and his performance at school.

Vitamins strengthen the child’s body in general and support vision in particular.

The complex contains 9 vitamins and 3 microelements, they protect the eyes from the negative radiation of the monitor and UV rays. The only drawback is that Complivit Oftalmo contains few minerals, but since these vitamins are specifically for vision, everything is quite logical. Excellent vitamins to prevent vision problems.

B vitamins
The key role of these vitamins is to ensure energy metabolism - the conversion of useful substances received by the child into energy, and this is what ensures the vital functions of our body. Also, vitamins of this group ensure normal functioning of the nervous system, increase resistance to stress, and improve the functioning of the digestive system.
For children, a lack of B vitamins in the body is usually indicated by symptoms such as poor appetite, apathy or, conversely, increased excitability and irritability, as well as insomnia. It should be noted that for normal growth and development, a child needs vitamins in a much higher dosage than an adult.
Compatibility. B vitamins are well compatible with each other, but the combination of B1 with B6 and B12 is not permissible.
