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!
