Vitamins do not contain calories and do not supply energy.In other words,they do not contributets to weight gain.They are,however,most importand as continuenst of enzymens,those organic catalysts which enable biological processes to take place.This is why vitamins are sometimes called co-enzymes.
It is totally imposible to imagine our lives without vitamins and enzymes.Through enzymes,vitamins stimulate
metabolic processes,converting food to energy and accelerating biological functions.They are truly vital or "LIFE-GIVING" as the fisrt part of their name implies.They create blood,skin and bone,detoxify the body,release energy,enable reproduction to take place and promote longevity.
Vitamins are not a part of the body's structure.They are just agents that help to regulate its maintenance and activity Measured in Milligrams(mg),most are water-soluble and therefore,any surpluses are eliminated through urination.On the other hand,a small group of fat-soluble vitamins,which are not soluble in water and are measured in International Units(IU), are harder to eliminate and easier to accumulate.
Prolonged overdosing with these can cause advence effects.
Although each one of us basically needs the same vitamins and minerals,individual requirements vary with sex,age,occupation,lifestyle and metabolic rate.Up to now,science has not come up with a general formula to determine individual needs,which can vary tremendously from person to person.Vitamins A and C,for example,can vary at least twentyfold.'Calcium and protein requirements may vary by a factor of five.
This is the principle of 'BIOCHEMICAL INDIVIDUALITY,' a phrase coined by Nobel Laurence Dr Roger Williams,the Texan biochermist who first isolated pantothenic acid(vit-B5).
The principle of biochemical individuality was dramatically illustrated after world War II when prisoners of war were released.Most of them were obviously malnourished,but a few were merely underweight.These were individuals with low nutrient requirements and exceptionally efficient metabolic systems.Their bodies were able to absorb enough nutrients from their meagre diet to sustain reasonable health.

A NEW START IN LIFE
You are what you eat,drink and think.This ancient proverb should be and repeated time and again until
its inner truth is engraved on the mind.Nutrition can largely determine how we look,feel and work;whether we will be nervous,tired and pesimistic,or joyful,comfortable and happily active.
Nutrition can also determine whether we will age prematurely or enjoy our lives to the full.
To a great degree our nutrition determines whether,after a long day's work,we will drop exhausted into the nearest armchair or walk home with a light step.In short,nutrition can determine our quality of life.
