vitamins list

vitamins list, plus foods rich in them ...

No need for me to mention that vitamins are good for your health, is there?...

But why is this?... What do they do?...

Basically, vitamins are essential for your nerve, muscle and brain function.

They're a vital part of your metabolic chain, whereby the food you take in is broken down and used for energy.

"Raw" and "fresh" are valuable keywords for any vitamin-rich diet ... so many vitamins are stripped out of foods during the refining process.

Vitamins B and C, in particular, are extremely unstable and easily destroyed by air, light, heat, water and storage.

Fortunately, you'll find vitamins in a wide range of foods.

And, your main aim should be to eat a really varied diet, so your body gets the required amounts of each vitamin.
