WINTER SURVIVING

Prevention is the key in any situation.

Vitamins, fruits and chocolate are my helpers in the cold weather.

Citrus fruit, squeezed or cut in pieces. My favorite one are lemons, high in vitamin C. You’ve probably heard that vitamin C may help prevent or limit the duration of the common cold in some people. 

Supplemental vitamin C may also lessen the duration and symptoms of a common cold, help delay or prevent cataracts, and support healthy immune function.Vitamin C is easily available in foods. You can find it in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Rich sources include: Oranges, strawberries and blackcurrants, Sweet and Irish potatoes, Red and green peppers, Broccoli and brussels sprouts, Spinach and other green leafy vegetables, Tomatoes.

To come back on lemons that are served in life very often.

Research has shown that polyphenol antioxidants found in lemons significantly reduce weight in mice that are overfed in order to induce obesity.

Vitamin C found in lemons may help reduce skin wrinkling, dry skin from aging, and damage from the sun. 

Pros are many, cons are zero or may be one, which is the taste. To be not so sour you can put honey and will become even healthier. 

You also can rotate lemon-chocolate, lemon-chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. 

Yes I’m chocoLate, as always but this will be another Fairytale story....
