Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C is such a powerful antioxidant found in fruit such as apples, oranges and kiwis.

You can add an orange or apple to a smoothie or fruit salad and experience the great benefits.

It strengthens your immune system

We all know this one. When we get sick we increase on our vitamin C intake to help our immune system fight off the cold. But having vitamin C everyday can help strengthen your immune system over time and make you more resistant to colds.

Its a Good Mood Food

Vitamin C helps you to feel good emotionally. If you have been feeling down lately and need something to boost your mood have a glass of orange juice in the mornings to improve your mood.

Vitamin C is great for your skin

It improves your skins defense mechanisms and aids in the formation of collagen. Collagen is responsible for keeping the structure in the skin and gives skin its support. A lack of vitamin C slackens the critical process in the skin.

It is a natural anti-histamine.

Have you ever suffered with a sinus allergy, ate an orange and immediately your allergy feels better? This is because the vitamin C acts as a natural antihistamine and fights off those invaders.

Vitamin C can also be found in vegetables such as broccoli, sweet potato, green peppers and cauliflower so if you are more into vegetables there are many options of food that can help increase your daily intake of vitamin C and help you to experience the benefits!

Advice!!

So.. I am thinking of selling my Matric dance dress but I am stuck on making a final decision! I have weighed out the "Why's" and "Why NOT'S" down below.

Inspiration Wednesday!

Credits: Zandri Vorster (for keeping me on track with your beautiful words) I am feeling inspired today to do the things I love and to just live in the moment. All we do have is now and we are never guaranteed tomorrow, so why stress about it? Zandri told me ' This year is to enjoy' - as we are both taking a gap year and its turning out more stressful than planned. BUT, it is so true. Life is to enjoy Why waste your time on things that YOU DON'T ENJOY? I haven't wrote on my blog for a while and I told myself I would everyday because it is something I enjoy.. and then I got caught up in all of the things I don't enjoy. So here is to starting to writing again and ENJOYING life! - Keardear
