Summer Health Tip: Boost Your Vitamin C Intake

Summer Health Tip: Boost Your Vitamin C Intake Madrid, Spain – Nutritionist Boticaria García recently emphasized the importance of increasing vitamin C consumption during the summer months. In a new video collaboration with Magas, García explains that vitamin C plays a crucial role in protecting our bodies from the harmful effects of sun exposure. "The sun, without protection, can break apart the electron pairs in our cells, creating unstable molecules called free radicals," García explains. These free radicals can damage cells and contribute to various health issues, including cancer. García highlights vitamin C's ability to counteract these free radicals by donating electrons, thereby stabilizing them and preventing cellular damage. She recommends incorporating vitamin C-rich foods into our diets, such as peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, and citrus fruits. "These are very generous and can give an electron to free radicals," she states. The video serves as a timely reminder of the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and protecting our skin during the summer months.
