Detailed explanation-1: -There are two main groups of vitamins – fat-soluble (easily stored in fat upon absorption) and water-soluble (washed out and not easily stored). Although adequate intake of all vitamins is important, regular intake is required to avoid deficiency due to the transient nature of water-soluble vitamins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fat-soluble vitamins will not be lost when the foods that contain them are cooked. The body does not need these vitamins every day and stores them in the liver and adipose (fat) tissue when not used.
Detailed explanation-3: -The water-soluble vitamins-C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate)-dissolve in water. Your body can’t store these vitamins.
