🍋Vitamin C is well known for its bolstering effect on the immune system but it is also needed for:
🥦The adrenal glands love vitamin C! The adrenals produce our stress hormones (adrenalin and cortisol) as well as some of our sex hormones, so adrenal function – for which vitamin C is essential – is inextricably linked to how we feel.
🫑Vitamin C is used up when stress hormones are produced, so requirements may be increased during periods of stress days as is magnesium.
🍊Vitamin C is required for the production of collagen, a structural protein in bones, tendons, cartilage and skin. While many people have heard about the importance of collagen in the skin from a beauty perspective, its other roles seem to be less appreciated.
🍋Healthy bones and tendons are critical to our ability to move with ease and therefore for maintaining our body's functionality, and this has a huge impact on quality of life.
🍓Vitamin C is also essential for wound healing.
🍍Iron absorption from plant-based foods is enhanced in the presence of vitamin C for example eating a steak with spinach as a side dish.
🥝Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that reduces damage and inflammation in the body, helping to protect you from degenerative diseases.
👍🏻Thanks to Dr Libby Weaver for this information & the list of other foods to consider:
🍍How’s your vitamin C intake? Do you have 2-3 pieces of fruit per day. More may increase the sugar load, but a few is great for the fibre and vitamins and minerals we get from the fruit.
🥬How many vegetable colours are you getting in a day? Vegetables contain vitamin C too - for example Capsicums, Spinach, Kale, Broccoli
