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!

I think it is a natural human thing, especially when you are young and your trust is bigger than the ocean.  Until i wanted to understand this verse a little more, so I dug deeper. I dug deeper into my thoughts and wondered what are the real treasures of life. These treasures i thought of are love, hope faith, trust, joy and all of these amazing intangible feelings and where do all of these come from? They come from the heart. When we do things we do it with our hearts no matter what our intention is we have to put our hearts into it.  Th...
