Vitamin C
My mom just came home from her trip to Colombia. She brought me a lot of my favorite snacks and candies including CEBION Vitamin C tablets. Yes, vitamin C. When I was little I grew up eating these tablets like candy because they taste so good. I recently found out how important this vitamin is for you though. It boosts your immune system as well as keeps you energized and prevents depression. Who would think that a little vitamin can do that. It can be found in many foods such as oranges,but I personally prefer the candy-like tablets. Deficiency of this vitamin can result in pallored skin, spongy gums, bleeding of the gums, liver spots on the skin, and depression.It can be as severe as causing immobility and in extreme cases, death. So...get that vitamin C in! Whether through foods or tablets, you need it to survive!

No need to worry about my vitamin C intake, it's superb. I drink minimum one glass of orange juice a day. I rarely catch the flu or contract a sickness because of my vitamin C-enhanced immune system. I don't know what I'd do without my morning consumption of Tropicana. You said that if I don't receive my daily supply of vitamin C that I would lose my tan complexion, my gums would become scarlet as I brush them and depression would ensue?! No need to say more. I'll make certain that from now on I drink my orange juice in the morning or scavenge through the lunch room at school looking for an orange.
If you found vitamin C to be interesting you should read up on a lot of other ones too. I am not sure on the specifics of most of the vitamins but I have heard my mom say some pretty interesting things about vitamin D and E I suggest you read up on them.
I have also learned that vitamin c is extremely healthy for you. Unfortuneatly, for the past week or so, I have had a cold and it seems like all my mom tells me to do it drink orange juice or take vitamin c tablets. I never really knew what importance vitamin c could have to me until I decided to research it. I did find out that vitamin c is extremely important not only for your body, but for your immune system as well. I now try my hardest to drink a full glass or orange juice a day, and have felt better in less than a day.
