7.Vitamins
Vitamins play a major role in body processes. They aid in the release of energy from foods, promote the growth and development of tissue, and are essential to the proper functioning of nerves and muscles. Diseases caused by lack of vitamins were a serious problem in the past when fresh fruits and vegetables were hard to get.
Today, such diseases are relatively uncommon in the country because many foods that people eat regularly are rich in vitamins.
