The Benefits of Vitamin C


Most of us think of vitamin C as merely an immune booster, but let us look a bit deeper into this wonderful
vitamin.  Did you know that Vitamin C can slash your risk of Heart Attack & Stroke?

It promotes healthy arteries by increasing your body's production of collagen, which is a "reinforcement
molecule"
Vitamin C also promotes healthy gums by supporting your connective tissue.
There by lowering our risk of heart trouble.  Because our our body's can not make its own vitamin c 
and can not store it either, we lose it every time we void.

Here is a list of the top 10 foods that have the highest levels of Vitamin C.
  1. Hot Chili Peppers
  2. Guavas
  3. Bell Peppers
  4. Thyme
  5. Parsley
  6. Raw Kale
  7. Kiwi
  8. Papayas
  9. Oranges
  10. Strawberries 
So on that note I will encourage you to go right out and get a fresh dose of this vitamin right away!
