Colds and flu are common in the winter. Therefore, one of the allies for the season is the
C vitamin
. Found in fruits such as orange, acerola, lemon, kiwi, pineapple, strawberry, passion fruit and cashews, the nutrient is responsible for boosting immunity and staving off the symptoms of diseases. But how to include in food? According to Renata Guirau, nutritionist at Oba Hortifruti, “on average,
two portions of fruit
per day already provide the recommended amount of vitamin C for an adult. Integration will rarely be necessary. The use of effervescent and capsules with high doses of vitamin C can be wasteful, because this vitamin, when it is in excess in our body, is eliminated”, warns the nutritionist. So, how about ensuring optimal consumption of vitamin C by regularly consuming fruit that contains the nutrient?
