Ode To Vitamin E Deficiency

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin present in many foods.
Vitamin E is found in meat, poultry, vegetables and kiwifruits
Vitamin E is important for connective tissues and reproduction.
It is also important for good immune system and skin function

Vitamin E Deficiency is a silent disease
Severity of Vitamin E deficiency is inversely related to age
It is a cause of eye disease leading to blindness
Sometimes there is mild body weakness

There are poor connective tissues, bones and thickened skin
The blood vessels are fragile and prone to bleeding
E is involved in the hydroxylation of proline to hydroxyproline.
It can cause hyperkeratosis and metaplasia of skin and mucous membrane.

Prevention of Vitamin E Deficiency is as important as treatment.
Treatment of Vitamin E Deficiency is taking vitamin E supplements
And a diet containing beef, chicken, eggs, fortified milk and liver,
Vegetable sources include carrots, orange or yellow fruits and green vegetables

-An original poem by Kenneth Kee
