Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential for various physiological functions in the body. They play crucial roles in metabolism, growth, development, and overall health. While the body requires only small amounts of vitamins, they are necessary for maintaining proper functioning and preventing deficiencies and diseases. The following are Vitamins and their sources:

   - Vitamin A: Sources include liver, carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, and kale.

   - Vitamin B (various types like B1, B2, B3, B6, B12): Found in whole grains, meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, leafy greens, and nuts.

   - Vitamin C: Found in citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, and tomatoes.

   - Vitamin D: Sources include sunlight exposure, fatty fish (like salmon and mackerel), egg yolks, and fortified foods.

   - Vitamin E: Found in nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, and leafy greens.

   - Vitamin K: Sources include leafy greens (such as kale, spinach, and collards), broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.

Minerals

 Minerals are inorganic nutrients that are essential for various bodily functions. They are required in relatively small amounts but play vital roles in processes such as bone formation, muscle function, nerve signaling, and enzyme activity. Examples of minerals include calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. The following are Minerals and their sources
