Scurvy This!

Vitamin C or, aka, ascorbic acid is vitally necessary for our body's functions. It helps support healthy collagen so if you have saggy skin--you may want to increase Vitamin C. Like loose skin scurvy is from the lack of Vitamin C.

Scurvy symptoms:

• rough skin

• bleeding gums

• tooth decay

• loss of integrity of micro vessels

• bruising

• weakness

• fatigue

• red spots

If lack of Vitamin C continues--it equals a "slow death."

Are you getting enough Vitamins? Did you know government listed percentages for Vitamin intake on daily values are the bare minimums for your body's survival?--Not optimal health! See a naturopath!

Overcooking your vegetables depletes Vitamins! Make sure you cook vegetables till they are at their brightest and stop the heat! And note that zinc will also help heal a wound. It's in your best interest to eat strawberries! :)
