Got Extra Baggage?

“Your body is the baggage you must carry through life. The more excess the baggage, the shorter the trip”

-Arnold H. Glasgow

Wow. Doesn’t this just make you want to work out, huh? Not that I like to think of my body as “baggage”, but this guy has got a point.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most popular Vitamins, and for good reason too.

Why you need Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant (nutrients and enzymes), which is known for preventing things like cataracts, arthritis, stroke, heart disease (may help with high blood pressure),  and cancer. Vitamin C may also help those who are diabetic (by regulating your blood sugar levels), or those who have asthma (helps with the airways in your lungs).

Sick Much?

Vitamin C also helps you with your immune system. This is great for those who have a cold, since it not only helps you recover faster, but also helps with the severity of your cold that you already have. I find myself taking extra Vitamin C in my diet when I feel like I am coming down with something so I can boost my immune system to combat whatever my body is fighting. You may be asking yourself if this even helps. Let’s just say, I don’t take too many sick days…

Common foods loaded with Vitamin C

A couple of my favorite foods that are high in Vitamin C is Strawberries, Kiwi, Oranges, potatoes, and red peppers.

To get the most benefit of absorbing your Vitamin C into your body, you might want to stick with fruits and veggies that you don’t need to cook, and with no sugars added. As always, with much research I believe that going Organic is a great way to go to get the most nutrients into your body pound for pound.
