I think that the huge benefits of the not-so-humble Vitamin C can sometimes be overshadowed by the trendier, though very deserving, superfoods such as turmeric or chia seeds. Vitamin C actually blocks pathways by which viruses enter cells, and therefore its benefits to the body are huge, particularly at this time of year.
Foods rich in Vitamin C include the following:
Peppers
Strawberries
Citrus fruit
Broccoli
Sprouts
Blackcurrants
Thyme and Parsley
Kale
Kiwi
If time isn't on your side but you want to ensure your Vitamin C intake is regular, do consider having supplements, but please make sure you avoid brands that use fillers and bulking agents which can significantly offset the advantages of taking the Vitamin C. A trusted local supplier of Vitamin C as well as many other immunity boosting products is Herbies of Albert Road (02392 92753458).
Keep well and don't hesitate to get in touch for further information.
