“As a nutritionist, I witness the every day repercussions of vitamin deficiency and I urge grown ups to enrich their understanding of necessary vitamins.
“Incorporating these vitamins into your day by day regimen is basic: consume a balanced eating plan, make confident you hit your five-a-working day, or increase a vitamin-enriched shot.”

The youngsters shared crucial vitamin and nourishment facts with passers-by and quizzed grown ups on their vitamin knowledge.
