Vitamin B changes food into energy and helps the heart and nerve system to work smoothly. Vitamin B also helps to produce red blood cells.Without it, we will be weak and will not grow. It is found in grains and other foods like beans, nuts, meat and fish.

Vitamin C is needed for strong bone and teeth, and for healthy blood vessels. It also helps wounds to cure quickly. The body stores little vitamin C, so we must get it everyday in foods like oranges, tomatoes and cabbage.
