Read the following text and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Vitamins are essential for keeping our bodies healthy. Each vitamin has a special job. For example, vitamin C helps our immune system, vitamin D helps our bones, and vitamin A is good for our eyes and skin. B vitamins give us energy and help our brain work well. If we don't get enough vitamins, we can have health problems. For example, insufficient vitamin C can make it hard for cuts to heal.

To get enough vitamins, we should eat a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. For example, one orange gives us more than 70% of the vitamin C we need each day. Leafy greens like spinach and kale have vitamins A, C, and K. Dairy products and foods with added vitamins give us vitamin D and calcium. Experts say adults should eat at least 2 cups of fruits and 2.5 cups of vegetables daily.

Some people might need to take vitamin supplements. Vegans might need a B12 supplement because this vitamin is mostly in animal products. People who don't get a lot of sunlight might need a vitamin D supplement, especially in winter. About 25% of people might need vitamin supplements to stay healthy. It's a good idea to talk to a doctor to determine what vitamins you need.

By knowing the benefits of vitamins and how to get them, we can stay healthy and avoid problems. Eating a variety of nutritious foods and taking supplements if needed helps our bodies get all the vitamins they need to work well.
