Is C-Vitamin Really That important?
Why do we have to consume C-vitamin? What does it protect us from?
We all know that vitamin are very important to our body. Some normal body functions can get worse because a lack of one vitamin. But why is the emphasis on C-vitamin? Is it really this crucial?
The answer is yes
C vitamin deffiency affects more than 1 in 20 people
What happens if we lack C-vitamin? How do we realize it?
- Many people may be more irritable than normal. This can be a result of being overally unwell.
- If you have rough, bumpy skin-C vitamin help produce collagen, a protein to help skin build faster
- Bright red hair follicles

- Easy bruising
- Slowly healing wounds
- Painful, swollen joints
- Weak bones

So, this is what happens when we do not involve c vitamin in our food. I think it explains why it’s importance is increasing.
Best food to take your daily c vitamin from:
- Acerola cherry
- Guava
- Blackcurrants
- Sweet red pepper
- Kiwifruit
- Lychee
- Lemon
- Orange
- Strawberry
- Papaya
- Broccoli
- Parsley
If you really want to benefit from these food, take them when they are raw, becuase c vitamin is easily broken down when heated.
Our body does not store a large amount of c vitamin, so a recommendation is to eat vitamin c sources every day.
