Its fall and the colder weather is slowly approaching. During the colder months, people often get sick. Getting sick has become a ‘norm’ for most people, but it doesn’t have to be.
The main reason why many get sick is simple: their immune system has not been properly nourished with the right nutrients to keep them strong and healthy year round. It all comes down to what we eat.
Meet Vitamin C!
Vitamin C is an immune booster and a lack of this vital vitamin will make you sick and make your immune system prone to diseases and illnesses. That means, the time to build your immune system is NOW. Don’t wait till you get the cold; stop the cold before it even starts!
And how do you do that? By building your body’s immunity with powerful superfoods rich in vitamin C.
Vitamin C gives your body the protection it needs to combat illness and literally stop it in its tracks. Since our body doesn’t produce Vitamin C on its own, it’s crucial that you get it from the foods you eat. Vitamin C is an important vitamins you can consume for optimal health and is essential during the fall and winter season.
I have been living a plant-based, raw pure living lifestyle for 5 years now and all throughout my 100% raw journey, I have NOT gotten sick! There was a time, however, during my vegan journey, where I ate cooked foods for 8 months and got sick! I got a sour throat and it lasted for 1 week straight, came back twice!! That goes to show me that RAW IS THE WAY! <3 When I eat raw, I feel I am being authentic to myself and I feel my optimum best when I do.
Since staying committed to eating raw living foods, I have NOT gotten sick! NOT ONCE. Cold-free winters, wouldn’t you want that?! I’m sure you do 🙂
Why Is Vitamin C Important?
Vitamin C plays a major important role to improve the skin’s collagen production and cell regeneration, anti-aging’s two greatest secrets. Vitamin C helps retain your skin’s greater elasticity and firmness. Vitamin C has extreme antioxidant activity and antioxidants fight free radicals, re-enforcing your body against the cell-damaging molecules absorbed through pollution, poor diet, injury, or stress.

Did you know?
The cold is actually really good for our overall health? Children in Russia are allowed to go play in the snow with their bare feet and then go back indoors to warmth. That’s amazing cold therapy! It’s no wonder why those children in Russia are healthier than children in America!
