Question

Simon is a 35-year-old lawyer who works in a large law firm in New York City. He’s noticed that since he turned 30, his body seems to need more time on average to recuperate from illnesses. To top it off, since he started working at the firm about two years ago, he has seemed vulnerable to catching every infectious illness that his co-workers come down with – from a little cold to a full-blown flu. Simon always seems to be coughing, sniffling, and fighting fatigue. He’s also recently developed a skin condition on his face that looks greasy and flaky, and feels irritable most of the time. Although he considers his diet pretty healthy and his lifestyle relatively active, Simon is now thinking of taking vitamin supplements. Do you think Simon might need supplements? If so, which one(s)? 1. Simon learns that supplementing with water-soluble vitamins is potentially safer (compared to fat-soluble varieties) because they aren't stored in the body for as long, which reduces their ability to cause a toxicity. Which vitamin is water soluble? a. vitamin A b. vitamin K c. vitamin E d. vitamin D e. vitamin C

Answer 1

The answer is c because they are easily destroyed and washed away during food storage preparation
