Boost Your Winter Wellness: Vitamin C for Immunity and Vitality

As the Canadian winter brings cold, dry air and shorter days, our bodies need extra care. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that supports your immune system, skin, and overall wellness, especially during this season.

Why Vitamin C is Essential in Winter

• Supports Immune Function: Vitamin C increases white blood cell production and strengthens their activity to fight infections. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting your immune cells from free radical damage.

• Reduces Cold Duration & Severity: Regular intake of vitamin C may lessen the duration and intensity of winter colds.

• Enhances Skin Health: Collagen production relies on vitamin C, helping your skin stay firm, hydrated, and resilient during cold months.

• Improves Iron Absorption: Vitamin C boosts non-heme iron absorption from plant-based foods, helping maintain energy and vitality.

Natural Sources of Vitamin C

Incorporate these foods into your winter diet:

• Citrus fruits: oranges, grapefruits, lemons

• Berries: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries

• Vegetables: bell peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts

• Other fruits: kiwi, papaya, guava
