One of the most annoying problems of the summer is mosquito bites. These small insects, in fact, in addition to disturbing our nights with their buzz, feed on our blood and leave us itchy pustules.
Fortunately, however, there are ways to avoid this unpleasant inconvenience in a natural and safe way. In fact, with this precious vitamin we can say goodbye to mosquito bites forever. Let’s see together how we can do to keep these annoying animals away from our skin.
With this precious vitamin we can say goodbye to mosquito bites forever
We are talking about vitamin B1, also called thiamine, which we have already dealt with in this previous article.
Well, vitamin B1 or thiamine is used by hardened travelers for their excursions to countries with high malaria risk. Taking a supplement of this type daily contributes, in fact, to keep mosquitoes away and consequently also the diseases that bring their bites into the human body.
Of course this is not the only precaution to take if you want to undertake such a journey, but it is certainly a very effective method. Vitamin B1 in fact gives our skin a very unpleasant smell and for this reason it is excellent for keeping insects away.
Where can we find good levels of vitamin B1
Taking supplements is certainly the easiest and fastest solution, but there are also many foods that contain this vitamin.
For convenience we illustrate them here with a small list:
- l’alga spirulina;
- pork;
- fresh fruit, but especially dried fruit;
- i legumi;
- the yeast;
- wholemeal bread;
- royal jelly;
- brown rice;
- soy;
- the eggs.
On the other hand, unhealthy habits such as excessive sugar or coffee intake inhibit the absorption of thiamine. Similarly, smoking is also an activity that does not help the body to take it as much as it should.
