Did you know that vitamin C deficiency is still a problem, even though it's the most common natural vitamin?

Here's why you should care about your vitamin C intake:

1. Our habit of eating mostly cooked food and neglecting fresh fruits and veggies can lead to vitamin deficiencies and related health issues.

2. Your body can't store vitamin C, so you need a daily dose to stay healthy!

3. Low vitamin C can cause fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. These are early signs of scurvy - a condition that's hard to diagnose but can affect your whole body.

4. Scurvy can lead to bleeding gums, dental problems, chest discomfort, joint pain, and easy bruising. In severe cases, it can affect your bones and bone marrow.

5. Adults need about 90mg of vitamin C daily for a healthy lifestyle. Smokers and those working in hazardous environments may need more.

6. Vitamin C is crucial for many bodily functions and is found in all tissues. ♻️

7. The best sources of vitamin C are oranges, lemons (especially the peel), bell peppers, rose hips, leafy greens, onions, dill, parsley, kiwi, currants, gooseberries, strawberries, and cranberries.

So, make sure to include plenty of fresh fruits and veggies in your diet to keep your vitamin C levels up and stay healthy!
