OK here's an example: Suppose we drink milk. It has Calcium. Calcium is good for our bones, but it cannot go anywhere once reached our stomach. So the Calcium needs to get to the bones or else we'll just poop it out and it would be a waste. So we get the calcium a taxi to transport it to the bones. This taxi is Vitamin D. The Calcium hops on the taxi and takes a ride into our blood to until it reaches the bones (some of it not all of it, because we need some in the blood and in the muscles for other functions).

So what has vitamin D done to the Calcium? It was its Taxi to where it should be. So, vitamins help Minerals as well as Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins reach their targets and make the processes of using them possible.

Vitamins also work as shields to protect those elements. Like a taxi is protecting Calcium from being damaged by bad chemical reactions. That's why we call them "anti-oxidants". The most known ant-oxidant is Vitamin C, that's why we squeeze a lemon on top of vegetables and fruits that could go brown (oxidise=go rusty) too fast. And FYI, those foods that go brown/rusty too fast, are high in iron content. That's why their iron goes rusty if exposed, just like a bike in the rain.


Also tell them that we lose certain vitamins really fast. Boiling the vegetables too long is bad for the vitamins. Steaming is better. Also when they go to the prom and drink buckets, they have to go home and take lots of vitamin B6 (Reminder: B good at the prom, have 6 not sex), because Alcohol makes people pee out all their stores of vitamin B each time they consume it, and Vitamin B6 is vital for our brains. That's why chronic alcohol users eventually go nuts.

OK I'll shut up now.
