Essentially organic substances, vitamins are found in abundance in natural foods like fruits and vegetables. These have been found to be important to maintain normal metabolic processes in our body.
There are two types of vitamins - fat and water soluble. While most vitamins are water soluble, vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble. Some are destroyed by heat; the notable amongst these is vitamin C, which can be lost due to cooking.
Most of the other vitamins remain stable even when heated. It must be remembered that while large amounts of vitamins are not necessary for the body, but any deficiency, however small it might be, could result in a wide range of ailments.
