Vitamins  A, B, C, D and E all have unique benefits for the human body. However, the prevention of immune system deficiencies, some cardiovascular and eye diseases, prenatal health problems and skin wrinkling mainly lies on Vitamin C.

Vitamin C, which is also known as L-ascorbic acid, is actually one of the most effective and safest nutrients. The average daily intake of vitamin C is from 60-80 mg per day, which can be obtained from citrus fruits like oranges (1 medium is 70mg), grapefruits (1/2 medium is 44mg) and tangerines as well as from different vegetables like tomatoes, broccoli (1/2 cup, cooked is 58mg) and peppers. The important factor to be mentioned here is that pregnant women and people who smoke need more vitamin C than others do.

The toxicity from vitamin C is rather low. If an extremely large amount (2,000 mg/day) is consumed, vitamin C may cause harm to your organism promoting kidney stones and diarrhea, as it’s in fact an acid. It’s not recommended to have a low daily dose of vitamin C as it can lead to gingivitis, dry hair, bleeding gums, nosebleeds, easy bruising and weight gain (as a result of a slowed metabolism).

And if you’re not certain about what food to eat, refer to a healthy meal plan delivery Los Angeles service and use one of their healthy diet plans to be sure your body is safe and supplied with the necessary amount of vitamin C.
