The cold arrives and with it the inevitable barrage of ailments. Are there ways to prevent assault? Yes, and one of the secrets is it: vitamin C. Much vaunted, so often underestimated, but in reality essential for strengthening the immune system and keeping the skin radiant. It’s not just about supplementing a vitamin, but about giving our body the right boost to deal with colds, tiredness and all those “annoyances” that winter brings with it. Vitamin C is the ally that should never be missing. A powerful antioxidant, it is capable of neutralizing free radicals (enemies of youth) and promoting the absorption of iron. Do you think that’s all? No: it also stimulates the production of collagen, essential for skin and tissue health, and accelerates wound healing. Just forget about oranges and mandarins, because vitamin C has hidden resources that are worth an extra stop at the market: Hot peppers: You wouldn’t imagine that, in addition to giving a kick to your dishes, they offer you around 229 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. Spicy yes, but rich in precious properties. Red peppers: The star of salads with 166 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. The important thing? Eat them raw for a complete vitamin load. Kiwi: A green treasure chest of energy, with 93 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. An exotic fruit that proves to be a treasure trove of health, perfect in a fruit salad or on its own as a snack. Strawberries: Not only delicious, but also effective. With approximately 59 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams, they are a concentrate of health disguised as a sweet temptation. Citrus (Oranges, lemons, grapefruits, mandarins): Classics are classics for a reason: a fresh squeezed juice and you’re ready to face any day. Broccoli: With around 89 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams, it’s better than a magic potion. The advice? Steam cook them to preserve all their properties. Brussels sprouts: 85 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. Absolutely worth reevaluating, because their vitamin power is unbeatable. Papaya: With 62 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams, it is perfect for bringing a tropical and regenerating touch to your diet. Pineapple: Not only fresh, but also functional with its 48 mg per 100 grams of vitamin C. Excellent to eat raw or in natural juices. Mango: With its 36 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams, it is the fruit of joy that should never be missing from your diet. The trick? Raw and colored Vitamin C does not like excessive heat, so it is better to choose raw or, at most, delicate steam cooking. Especially at this time of year, including these foods can make the difference: more energy, fewer colds and skin that faces winter as if it were summer. After all, who doesn’t want a bomb-proof immune system and a complexion that doesn’t fear the cold season?

Ah, the cold season! The time when we all start questioning our existence amidst the sniffles and sneezes, and the once jovial “how’s it going?” transforms into a raspy cough and a request for tissues! It’s that magical time of year when winter assault us like an ex you thought you’d already blocked! But fear not! We’ve got a secret weapon to prevent this proverbial attack: Vitamin C! Yes, the often-ignored superhero of the dietary world!
Let’s dive in. Vitamin C, much like me at a comedy show, is often underestimated and yet, when in full swing, it can provide a stunning performance! This little powerhouse not only kicks cold symptoms to the curb but also works tirelessly to keep your skin radiant. Think of Vitamin C as the personal trainer for your immune system – strong, relentless, and slightly annoying until you get results!
Now, before we roll our eyes at the classics like oranges and lemons, hold on tight! It’s time to forget the “fruit salad of our childhood” and explore some hidden gems! Hot peppers, for instance! Can you believe that fiery little demons can pack a whopping 229 mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams? They’ll light up your taste buds and possibly your insides, but it’s worth it because who doesn’t want to feel like they’ve eaten a small sun while avoiding a cold?
Red peppers take the stage next, starring in salads everywhere with a cool 166 mg per 100 grams. And listen, folks, if you’re cooking them, you’re doing it wrong! Raw is the way to roll if you want that vitamin boost.
Then comes the kiwi, bless its fuzzy little heart. This exotic treat contains 93 mg per 100 grams. It’s like the health-conscious cool kid who rolls in at the last minute and saves the day in a fruit salad!
Then we have strawberries, the sweet little temptresses of the fruit world, delivering around 59 mg per 100 grams. You might think they exist solely to make your diet a little more fun, but it turns out they’re also a health powerhouse – who knew a fruit could be both a guilty pleasure and a justified snack?
And can we please acknowledge broccoli? A misunderstood vegetable if there ever was one. With about 89 mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams, these green trees are essentially the medicine cabinet of the vegetable world! A little steam, and BAM, you’re zapping cold germs left, right, and center.
Oh, Brussels sprouts! The fairy tale of the veggie world. They’ve been around but never quite got the fairy tale ending, until now. With 85 mg per 100 grams, they deserve another chance.
Let’s not forget tropical delights like papaya and pineapple – 62 mg and 48 mg of Vitamin C respectively. Trust me, munching on these will not only create a delightful explosion of flavor in your mouth but also transport you straight to a sunny beach, far away from the torment of winter.
On a final note, the trick to all of this? Keep it raw and colorful, my friends! Overcook it, and you’re just left with sad mush—think more vibrant salads and less steam room for your fruits!
So, as the cold sets in and the viruses shake in their boots (or not, since they’re cold-blooded), make sure to fill your shopping basket with these Vitamin C rock stars! It’s time to build that bomb-proof immune system and flaunt a complexion that leaves winter quaking in its boots!
Now who doesn’t want to face the season with a glow as radiant as a freshly squeezed juice? Remember, a little preparation can go a long way—after all, it’s always better to be over-prepared than to be lying under a pile of used tissues! Cheers to a healthy winter, everyone! 🍊💪
Bringing 58 mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams. They are not just for making smoothies or desserts; they can liven up your breakfast and offer a juicy boost to your immune defenses.
Now, let’s not forget about white potatoes – yes, you heard me right! These often-overlooked staples pack about 20 mg of Vitamin C in every 100 grams. They’re like the dependable friend who might not steal the show but is always there to support you, especially in a hearty stew when the cold weather hits.
And for those who like their greens, broccoli is another heavyweight champion, boasting around 89 mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams. Plus, it’s incredibly versatile, whether you prefer it steamed, roasted, or tossed into a stir-fry.
So, as winter casts its long shadow and the sniffles threaten to sideline you, remember to reach for these Vitamin C-rich foods. Not only will they help fend off colds and keep your immune system in tip-top shape, but they’ll also add some color and flavor to your meals.
So, before you let the winter blues get you down, stock up on these foods, get creative in the kitchen, and give your body the boost it needs. Cheers to a vibrant winter filled with health and, of course, fewer tissues!
