About Various Vitamin
We need Vitamin, 'A' because it helps us to prevent infection. It is always found in animal fat. It is found in growing plants and is transferred to animals when they eat the plant. It is found in milk, egg yolk, liver, cod-liver-oil and in lettuce, carrots and spinach. Absence in Vitamin-A results in poor eyesight and roughness of skin. Vitamin-B is necessary for our bodies because it prevents a disease called 'beri-beri' which is a disease that attacks the nerves in all parts of the body including the brain. Vitamin-B is found in milk, fresh fruit, cereals and fresh vegetables. Deficiency in Vitamin-B results in headache, tiredness and loss of appetite.
It also leads to loss of physical and mental strength. Another important Vitamin is Vitamin-C. This vitamin is important because it helps us to fight against a disease called 'scurvy'. This is a disease that causes bleeding in different parts of the body. It also results in stiff joints, loose teeth and weak bones. Fresh fruit and vegetables like oranges, cabbages and tomatoes are rich in Vitamin-C. But we must remember that the body is unable to store Vitamin-C, so it must be replaced constantly.
