Understanding Nutrients: Fat Soluble vs. Water Soluble
Nutrients are important for our bodies to stay healthy. Some nutrients dissolve in water, and these are called water soluble. Water soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and the B vitamins. These vitamins need to be taken regularly because they are not stored in the body. They leave the body through urine.
On the other hand, some nutrients dissolve in fat, and these are called fat soluble. Fat soluble vitamins include Vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are stored in the body's fatty tissues and liver. Because they are stored, they do not need to be taken as often as water soluble vitamins. It is important to have a balanced diet to get all these vitamins.
Both types of vitamins are essential for good health. Water soluble vitamins help with energy and keeping the body working well. Fat soluble vitamins help with vision, bone health, and protecting cells. Eating a variety of foods ensures you get both types of vitamins. Remember, none of these vitamins should be ignored for a healthy life.

? is needed for the formation of red blood cells which carry oxygen round our body and help to prevent anaemia
(a)
The Interrelationship of Essential Nutrients
Iron and Vitamin C work together in our bodies to keep us healthy. Iron is important because it helps our blood carry oxygen round our body. Vitamin C helps our bodies absorb iron better. If we are able to absorb the iron in our body better this will help to prevent anaemia. When we eat foods rich in both, like spinach and oranges, we get the most benefit.
Calcium and Vitamin D are like best friends for our bones. Calcium makes our bones strong, but it needs Vitamin D to help absorb it and get into our bones. We can get Vitamin D from sunlight and foods like fish. When we have enough of both, our bones grow strong and healthy. This is why milk is often fortified with Vitamin D.
Phosphorus and Calcium also work together to keep our bones healthy. They bond together to make a substance called calcium phosphate which give bones their strength. Phosphorus is found in foods like meat and dairy. It helps calcium build strong bones and teeth.
Vitamins A, C and E are antioxidant vitamins that help fight off free radicals in our body. Vitamin A, C and E work together to help prevent heart disease and some cancers.
What is the role of Vitamin C in relation to iron in our bodies?
It helps our blood carry oxygen.
It helps our bodies absorb iron better.
