VITAMIN-C FOR ENERGY

Spring time is here. Flowers are blooming, birds are singing and you’re down with a cold… again. Don’t be alarmed, it’s normal around this time of the year. With the season change, the immune system tends to get weak and it becomes very common to see people blowing their noses and coughing all the time.

But what can you do to avoid getting sick like your co-workers or your siblings? Vitamin C is the answer!

According to the Medline Plus Medical Encyclopedia, Vitamin C is one of the most essential nutrients for humans and animals. It is a great antioxidant that helps build protection against immune system deficiencies and lowers the risk of cancer, among other ailments. So, if you’re not taking your daily dose of Vitamin C, make sure you do…especially if you want to avoid getting sick.

Oranges are known to be a great source of Vitamin C. Whether you squeeze them to make a juice in the morning for breakfast, or peel them to eat the pulpy pieces on your lunch break at work, oranges will give you the necessary nutrients to stay strong during the season. 

Eating steamed broccoli or boiled cauliflower will also help you stay energized this spring time, as both vegetables are high in Vitamin C! If you still haven’t decided what you’ll be making for your Easter Sunday lunch, a meal consisting of broccoli or cauliflower vegetable may be the best option for such a special day.
