Hence, Vitamin B deficiency is linked to many disorders in the body.

Explanation

Lemon is rich in Vitamin C, which helps boost immunity and improve skin health.

Other citrus fruits like oranges and lime are also high in Vitamin C.

Also known as ascorbic Acid

Deficiency of vitamin C causes skin diseases

Explanation

Sunbathing is primarily a good source of vitamin D

When UVB rays from the sun hit the skin, they convert a substance called 7-dehydrocholesterol into vitamin D3. 

This vitamin D3 then travels to the liver and kidneys to become the active form of vitamin D, which the body uses to absorb calcium and phosphorus. 

Benefits of Sunlight

Bone Health:

Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are crucial for strong bones. 

Immune System:

Adequate vitamin D levels are linked to a stronger immune system and may help regulate immune responses.

There are Two types of vitamins

1. Water soluble

2. Fat soluble

Explanation

When sunlight hits your skin, your body produces vitamin D.

Specifically,

The UVB radiation from sunlight causes a chemical in the skin to convert to previtamin D3,

Which then turns into vitamin D3.

This process is why vitamin D is often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin." 

Explanation

Leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, swiss chard, collard greens, and beet greens

They contain 2.5-6.4 mg of iron per cooked cup or 14-36% of  RDI.

Rich sources of iron include both animal and plant-based foods.

Heme iron, found in meat, poultry, and seafood, is more readily absorbed by the body.

Non-heme iron, found in plant-based foods, is also important, and its absorption can be enhanced by vitamin C.
