Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Vitamins play an important role in our body. They perform many essential functions. Therefore, we should take at-least minimal amount of all vitamins in our daily diet. Vitamins are the part of the enzymes which carry out the important biochemical reactions in our cells. They are also important for formation of teeth and bones. Not only this, they are important to make our immune system strong. So, it is very important to have vitamin-rich foods in our diet.
