The Benefits Of Vitamin C
The one thing that is a non-negotiable in my diet is my daily dose of vitamin C. I have been taking a Vitamin C supplement for years, it is one of the most cheapest and easiest ways to ensure that my body is getting what it needs.
Vitamin C helps form red blood cells, protects and promotes bone and tissue growth, and builds the body’s resistance. Vitamin C is jam packed with antioxidants which repair and restore cell damage and help fight premature ageing. Vitamin C is crucial for life, and it plays a vital role in helping other vitamins and minerals absorb into your body.

Excellent food sources of vitamin C include broccoli, bell peppers, parsley, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, lemon juice, strawberries, mustard greens, kiwifruit, papaya, kale, cabbage, romaine lettuce, turnip greens, oranges, cantaloupe, summer squash, grapefruit, pineapple, chard, tomatoes, collard greens, raspberries, spinach, green beans, fennel, cranberries, asparagus, watermelon, and winter squash.

Vitamin C is water-soluble, which means it’s easily absorbed through the water in your body. Your body doesn't store vitamin C, so you must replace your supply every day – excess amounts are flushed out through your kidneys.
