have decided that i need to higher my intake of vitamin c to prevent myself from falling sick. its really been a pain in the ass and i just cant seem to up my training intensity without falling sick!! looks like its time to up my nutrition and im sure it will benefit me. even if it means i have got to eat things tt i hate. FRUITS.
and so, i did a little research and decided that i shall start with eating this. citrus. aka orange, lime, lemon..
Citrus fruits have long been valued as part of a nutritious and tasty diet. The flavours provided by citrus are among the most preferred in the world, and it is increasingly evident that citrus not only tastes good, but is also good for people. It is well established that citrus and citrus products are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre (non-starch polysaccharides) that are essential for normal growth and development and overall nutritional well-being. However, it is now beginning to be appreciated that these and other biologically active, non-nutrient compounds found in citrus and other plants (phytochemicals) can also help to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. Where appropriate, dietary guidelines and recommendations that encourage the consumption of citrus fruit and their products can lead to widespread nutritional benefits across the population.
