Vitamins help our bodies in various vital processes. If you don't eat vitamins, or if you eat less, you can have very different problems.

Vitamins are found in foods, especially fruits and vegetables, but not only. Vitamins are very sensitive and therefore most of them are lost in processed hot foods (boiled, fried, baked, etc.), or preserved foods. For example: when you keep a lot of time these foods (apples stored until the spring, they have fewer vitamins than fresh apples).

On the other hand, superrafinate and processed products (such as white bread) also lose the vitamins. In a typical weight-loss diet, which means reducing the quantity of food, also decreases the amount of vitamins that we eat. And this can be dangerous for our health.

Synthetic vitamins are not well assimilated. In this case you should eat plenty of foods containing vitamins and avoid vitamins supplements, especially those that are not natural. Fruits and vegetables contain the best vitamins.
