We all need Vitamin C to stay healthy.

I give more importance to this vitamin. Best known as a popular, though unproven, remedy for the common cold, vitamin C( or Ascorbic acid ) is vital for the production of collagen, a protein needed for healthy skin, bones, cartilage, teeth, and gums, and which plays an important role in healing wounds and burns. It also helps to produce the neurotransmitters Noradrenaline, which regulates blood flow, and serotonin, which helps to promote sleep.

Some experts believe that this vitamin C protect us from cancer, because the pulp and pith of most of the citrus fruits contain compounds known as Bioflavonoids which are thought to neutralise cancer-causing substances. What else we need. Our almost all health problems can be solved if we all take the necessary quantity of Vitamin C through our daily foods. A normal adult require only 40mg a day, which could be provided by a small orange. Smokers need double ( 80mg/day ) as a compensation. So, now on, let us all take Vitamin C daily with our food.
