CHILDREN + COUGHS AND COLDS = VITAMIN C

For centuries, one of the most popular immune boosters has always been Vitamin C.

In a nutshell, this critical vitamin functions as a powerful antioxidant, as an immune booster and improves iron absorption. Vitamin C is water-soluble, which means a continuously replenishing supply is required.

One of Vitamin C’s best known functions, of course, is its role in supporting the body’s immune system. Because Vitamin C is an antioxidant and is vital for maintaining overall health, it actually can help boost a child’s immune system. Additionally, antioxidants help reduce damage to cells from free radicals in the body. Another important benefit of Vitamin C is that it helps the body absorb the mineral iron.

Many studies have shown that taking Vitamin C daily can largely reduce the odds of getting a cold. And since children, in particular, are oftentimes susceptible to low immunity, supplementing with Vitamin C can make all the difference.

Benefits of Supplementation
A child’s growing body cannot produce Vitamin C on its own. Therefore, parents are encouraged to ensure that their children eat a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables every day so their little bodies can get some of this much-needed nutrient. The best food sources for Vitamin C include tomatoes, peppers, broccoli and kiwi. However, the preparing of the fruits and veggies is usually easier and faster than getting the children to eat them.
