Vitamin C is considered a potent antioxidant and should be introduced into the body as often as possible.
Vitamin C fortifies the resistance capacity of the body and is useful for the anticipation and treatment of viral diseases, for example, colds or influenza, and of course the most famous antioxidant. It improves the absorption of iron in the intestine, strengthens the body’s defense system, neutralizes blood poisoning, helps to wound the wounds and scars and teeth that bleed and affects many other functions in the body.
As early as the 18th century doctors advised on the consumption of lemon juice because they believed that lemon contains elements that prevent diseases, infections. This precedent is connected today. Fruit juices, particularly lemon, orange or mandarin, are flavorful and contain high measures of vitamin C. That the fruit contains vitamin C, the verification is the apples. When you peel the apples, it darkens because it oxidizes. However, this process does not occur instantaneously, because in the apple there are certain amounts of vitamin C, which prolongs oxidation. So for vitamin C, it is thought to be a strong antioxidant.
Do not overdo it
Vitamin is not completely resistant to high temperatures, but it can not quickly degrade. It’s about the following: when we cook the vegetables in the water, vitamin C is essentially melting, and even though it will have fewer vegetables in a while, the big part remains in the water in which we cooked the vegetables. So if you want to keep vitamin C in the vegetables, cook it steam or cook soup. Vitamin C is especially rich in water that remains when the potato is cooked. Instead of roasting, put spice, cook a fidget and get a very tasty soup. A number of studies that have been conducted to determine the potentially harmful effects of vitamin C have not given enough solid evidence that vitamin C has adverse effects. A greater number (more than a thousand milligrams per day) can cause diarrhea, which is not dangerous if the dose is immediately reduced. As with other preparations, exaggeration is never good and should always be moderate.
