Water-soluble vitamins, especially most of the B vitamins and vitamin C, leach into cooking water. Vitamins A, D and E are fat-soluble and leach into cooking oils. Vitamin C is the most likely to get lost in cooking, according to Scientific American. It's susceptible to heat, air and water.
The vitamin is time-sensitive as well as heat-sensitive, so the less heat and the shorter the cooking time, the more vitamin C you'll have left. And because you need little - if any - water to cook vegetables in a microwave, you don't lose any vitamin C to the water in the way you would do if you boil them. The more times you reheat something, the more of the heat-sensitive nutrients, especially vitamin C, you will lose, but reheating food quickly in a microwave retains more nutrients than keeping food hot in a warm oven for long periods. I think the microwave has a lot to offer if used wisely, so please don't worry about cooking the Christmas brussels sprouts in the microwave. It will not only save you time, but is better for your health than overboiling them.
