Vitamins are essential nutrients that help our bodies function smoothly. They are particularly important in maintaining bodily functions such as immunity and metabolism. Vitamins are divided into 2 types:

Water-soluble Vitamins.
Fat-soluble Vitamins.

Fat-soluble vitamins (Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin E) are retained in the body's fat cells if you absorb more than necessary. They are resistant to damage or destruction during cooking.On the other hand, water-soluble vitamins (Thiamin, Vitamin C, Pantothenic Acid, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Niacin, Riboflavin, Biotin) are not stored. Your body will absorb what is necessary and excrete the rest, thus, they need to be consumed daily. Additionally, this type of vitamin is also susceptible to destruction during cooking.The following infographic will inform us about the functions of the 13 essential vitamins for the body and the types of foods containing them.
