Give Me a C!




One of the most awesome things about Nature...


...is how God created the harmony of humans, animals and our eco-system together to nourish and nurture each other.


With the colder weather season, the holiday hustle and travel being upon us, this is a great time of the year to get your fill of Vitamin C (especially since this vitamin cannot be manufactured in a human body).



And what better way to get your nutrients than through in-season fruits and vegetables that are abundant in Vitamin C? Almost 90% of the Vitamin C in our diets comes from fruits and vegetables.


Here are just a few delicious ways to get some C …


- artichokes - cruciferous family like Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage and Cauliflower - carrots - citrus like Oranges, Tangerine, Clementine and Grapefruit - dark greens like Kale, Spinach and Swiss Chard - persimmons - pomegranates - potato a year round vegetable (see potassium broth recipe below) - winter squash Butternut, Delicata, Spaghetti, Kabocha, Hubbard, Acorn, Sweet Dumpling


Are You Getting Enough Vitamin C?


Vitamin C is considered one of the micronutrients with the strongest evidence for immune support (along with Vitamin D and Zinc).


Unfortunately, even a diet filled with healthy foods there can still be lack of adequate nutrients. This can be due to a number of factors such as: - low level nutrients in today industrial farmed foods (even organic) A landmark study (Journal of American College Nutrition, 2004) studied nutritional data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (from 1950 and 1999) for 43 different fruits and vegetables. They found the vitamin C content had badly declined.

- elevated stress (which hinders the digestive system)

- other digestive system imbalances where the breakdown of foods and uptake of the nutrients are hampered

*Synthetic Vs. Natural There are significant differences …

The majority of Vitamin C supplements on the market are derived from L-ascorbic acid. The L form can come from either a natural source (fruits, vegetables, herbs) or from synthetic forms (made in a test-tube).


Synthetic forms of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid and other variations: calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate or potassium ascorbate) are typically lab-produced vitamin-c powders. These chemically synthesized molecules manufactured in a test tube may even be derived from genetically modified corn sugar.


At best, the chemical version of Vitamin C typically mimic only one component of the multitude of life-supporting nutrients found in genuine, whole-sourced natural Vitamin C. Synthetic forms also taken over time can increase body acidity which stimulates the body to steal important mineral reserves of calcium from the body (the body will release calcium to neutralize synthetic ascorbic acid).
