Vitamin C
Each vitamin and mineral substance meets specific body needs that one of the other compounds cannot substitute. However the lack or deficiency of one of them can sometimes interfere with another vitamin or mineral’s function. If a vitamin or mineral deficiency continues, the person can incur a related disease. On the other hand, too much of some minerals and vitamins brings on a toxic condition.
One vitamin that I make sure we are getting is Vitamin C. It is a powerful antioxidant in the body. Excellent food sources of vitamin C include broccoli, parsley, bell peppers, strawberries, cauliflower, lemons, mustard greens, Brussels sprouts, papaya, kale, cabbage, spinach, kiwifruit, cantaloupe, oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes, chard, collard greens, raspberries, peppermint leaves, asparagus, celery, fennel bulb, pineapple, and watermelon.
