Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid is a highly nutritious [4] vitamin that helps ensure wellness by preventing infections or shortening their stay. Fruits, especially citrus are excellent sources of this vitamin. The downside is that citrus fruits are acidic, and too much of them may have adverse effects. Other good sources of vitamin c include fruits and vegetables like spinach, kale, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, and papaya.
These vegetables are very versatile and can be worked into lots of food recipes, for daily consumption. Health practitioners often recommend that invalids and convalescents take lots of vitamin c-rich foods to recover faster.
