Vitamin C, a valuable nutrient in the shortening the duration of colds and flu, rebuilding tissue, bones and blood vessels, as well as improving the body’s ability to digest and utilize calcium and other minerals, is often cited as an integral part of a healthy diet. Studies are also being conducted to prove vitamin C's role in brain function, healing from injuries, and recovering from illnesses. The National Institutes of Health recommend that the average adult male consumes 90 mg of vitamin C, while the average healthy female consumes 75 mg each day. The following list of foods, rich in vitamin C, will help you to add healthy doses of it to your diet.
Consider this...
Whether or not you consume animals and their by-products, have you ever considered the existence of these beings, even for a minute? From conception to slaughter, they experience unspeakable cruelties and intolerable confinement; yet they have consciousness and experience feelings, just like us. Even if you don't care about animals, what about the impact of agribusiness on air, land and water pollution; not to mention the fact that we grow more grains to feed animals than we do to feed the hungry, and because of this, people are starving. Even if you only care about yourself, then consider that a meat-based diet contributes to cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes and obesity, all of which are killing us! Animals are not here for us to use and abuse, but they are at our mercy. It's our responsibility to be good stewards of this earth, but I don't believe we can honestly say that we're doing the best we can. But we can choose to go vegan.
