a dose of vitamin c

April 3, 2023      11 Comments

I firmly believe that a good dose of Vitamin C cures almost all ills. Vitamin C was the first vitamin I ever took, and it’s the main one I take now. It’s thought to be great for the immune system, iron absorption, healing of wounds, and maintenance of things like bones and teeth. No scurvy for this girl! On National Vitamin C Day, lets talk about how I get my daily dose.

Vitamin C Supplements

The first and obvious way I get Vitamin C is in actual vitamin form. It’s the easiest way to do it. I take one pill a day, for the most part, and that meets my daily needs.

Emergen-C

If there is illness going around or I feel myself dragging a bit, I give myself a boost with Emergen-C. It’s a powder I can mix with water, which serves a dual purpose. First, I get more Vitamin C, and second, it gives me a reason to hydrate. You know how I struggle with that.

Vitamin C Through Foods

Vitamin C shows up in a lot of foods I don’t love (oranges, I’m looking at you), but also in foods I do. Citrus is not my fruit of choice, but Vitamin C pops up in things like strawberries, potatoes, broccoli, brussels sprouts and peppers. I eat all of those things on the regular.

Drinking Vitamin C

If you’ve been with RWP a while, you know I am “particular” about drinks. It is my belief that juice belongs in things like mimosas and cocktails. However, if I am going to drink my Vitamin C, it’s going to be in the form of all-natural, one ingredient juices like this one from Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice.

Vitamin C In Self-Care

Did you know that Vitamin C is great inside and out? I use Vitamin C serums to help brighten my skin. Additionally, I will use citrus essential oils to lift my mood or get some mental clarity (citrus scents really perk me up – there’s no science to it, it’s just how I roll).

Vitamin C Or Vitamin Sea?

That’s right! A little play on words can give us the best Vitamin “C” ever! I’m all in with the waves and the salt air and the fresh air. The benefits of time by the ocean are too numerous to list and I’m always happier after a day by the water.

How do you get your daily dose of C?

I am linking up with Kookyrunner and Zenaida this Tuesday for Tuesday Topics!

    I love citrus scents! It reminds me so much of summer. I think you are right about the mood-boosting effect.
    I get most of my vitamin C through foods, especially green vegetables like broccoli.

    How can a Florida gal not like citrus? 😉

    I love oranges and grapefruit but I also eat a lot of broccoli so I guess I am good on vitamin C!

      Ha! I’m a Jersey girl at heart! Give me all the strawberries, cranberries and Jersey tomatoes! I do like red grapefruit, but have to be in the mood.

    Citrus fruits can be so refreshing, but I definitely enjoy the smell just as much as eating the fruit, lol.

    Ha ha… I’m laughing at “juice belongs in things like mimosas and cocktails.” I don’t drink juice, either. And I don’t eat a lot of fruit, but I do eat vegetables, so I’m pretty sure I get plenty of C that way.
    You’re reminding me that I might be deficient in my Vitamin Sea though- I need to get to the ocean soon!

    I think vitamin C is an easy one to get just by virtue of food. It’s in so many foods, most of which are veggies and fruits that I like (therefore, I get plenty of the “C” without needing a supplement for it). I like oranges, but I don’t eat them very often because they’re so messy…though they do leave my fingers smelling fresh, ha!

    I hate orange juice but will eat oranges in the winter. And this has become a recent thing. As Kim said they can be messy.

    I prefer strawberries.

    I do try to eat veggies.

    Yay for mimosas! 🙂 I take Emergen-C here and there too.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
