As you probably know, vitamins are essential for our body. But do you know the benefits of vitamin C? Focus on this essential element for our body!

Vitamin C, what is it?

Also called ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that our body loves!

The problem is that he is not able to synthesize it or store it. To stay healthy, it is therefore essential to consume daily , and not to have deficiencies.

Where do you find vitamin C?

It is present in many everyday foods, and mainly in fruits and vegetables . You will find it in large quantities in guavas (1 half cup = 200 mg), papayas (1 half = 95 mg), oranges (70 mg each), mangoes, strawberries (55 mg per half tray) or kiwi again. It is also hidden in peppers, broccoli (50 mg for a plate), vegetable juices (35 mg per half cup), cooked Brussels sprouts and cooked cauliflower!

Obviously, it's not about eating fruits and vegetables at every meal, but make sure you have the daily intake your body needs.
