La vitamina C, tu mejor aliado en invierno

It seems like this vitamin C thing sounds familiar to us, like mothers and grandmothers. But... no! Vitamin C is an essential ingredient in the life of 21st-century people, especially in winter. We'll tell you its secrets so you can incorporate it into your daily routine to improve your appearance and feel your best.

What is vitamin C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient for the health, growth, and development of the human body.

What are the benefits of vitamin C ?

As we've said, vitamin C plays a role in numerous fundamental functions in our body, many more than we've told you or you might imagine. But to keep in mind the following: – It strengthens the immune system , fighting off various illnesses such as colds and infections. – It increases collagen production , keeping the structure of tissues, bones, and teeth healthy and regenerating skin damage such as irritation and wounds. – It's a powerful antioxidant that acts against free radicals* that cause heart disease, cancer, and premature skin aging. * Free radicals? Your body is made up of millions of cells, and these are made up of millions of molecules. When one of the molecules is damaged, the cell becomes unstable and is called a free radical. Free radicals trigger a chain reaction that throws its entire environment out of balance.

Why vitamin C in winter?

On the one hand, winter is the most ideal time for viruses and bacteria to proliferate, attacking our bodies; on the other hand, the cold, rain, and sudden changes in temperature make us more susceptible and weakened... So, we need to take extra care!

Include vitamin C in your diet

Our bodies are unable to produce this vitamin, so we need an external supply. It's not complicated at all! Vitamin C is found in a wide range of fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, tangerines, lemons, strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, pineapple, and broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, and spinach. Experts recommend a daily intake of 90 mg of vitamin C for adult men. Be careful if you're a smoker! In this case, your body will need an additional 35 mg to fight the free radicals (you know what they are, right?) caused by tobacco smoke.

Include vitamin C in your facial care routine

Your skin is your outermost and most visible layer. Applying a targeted vitamin C boost will make it appear stronger and better able to withstand winter's attacks. This way, you'll look healthier and more radiant. Protect your skin so the cold, wind, heating, etc. don't destroy it, and wake up every day with that healthy-looking glow. And while you're at it, you'll smooth out a few wrinkles. Here, we recommend our Anti-Aging Serum formulated with vitamin C.

Now that you know the benefits of vitamin C for looking and feeling better... Go for it! And enjoy life to the fullest!
