Answer: Vitamin D and vitamin B12

Step-by-step explanation:

Vitamin D is very important for the body as it helps in the calcium absorption by the body. The body should be in regular exposure with sun.

Vitamin B12 is mostly found in meats and non vegetarian foods. Not taking meat because of any reason will affect the brain and body.
