What are some factors that influence vitamin status?
What will be an ideal response?
A major factor that influenced vitamin status is the vitamin content of the foods eaten. Prolonged storage, food preparation, and cooking methods can cause vitamin content in foods to vary. Additionally, health status can affect vitamin absorption. Naturally occurring compounds in foods eaten together can also affect vitamin absorption, such as the enzymes or acidic or alkali ingredients. Stress or illness can increase requirements, and total body stores can decrease.
