Nutritionist Butorina: you need to eat from 75 to 90 mg of vitamin C per day
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) protects the heart and blood vessels, reduces blood pressure, cholesterol and uric acid levels, and is also a powerful antioxidant, which is why it is so necessary in the fall. The daily norm of its consumption on average for men is up to 90 mg, and for women – 75 mg. Elena Butorina, a nutritionist at the Yamal Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention, told URA.RU about this.
“The daily physiological norm of vitamin C depends on gender and age. For men, on average, it is 90 mg, for women 75 mg. Better absorption of vitamin C found in foods. Rich in them, more than 70 mg per 100 g, rose hips, kiwi, Brussels sprouts, sea buckthorn, black currants, bell peppers, parsley, dill, broccoli, citrus fruits, ”explained Elena Butorina.
The nutritionist emphasized that vitamin C does not accumulate in the body. “Vitamin C is water soluble and cannot be synthesized or stored in the body. First of all, it is necessary for the synthesis of collagen, which makes up the skin and connective tissues. Vitamin C protects the heart and blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, cholesterol and uric acid levels. In addition, it is a powerful antioxidant. The body receives it from plant foods or artificially synthesized ascorbic acid in the form of solid or effervescent tablets, capsules, solutions, powder or lozenges,” Butorina added.
Formerly therapist, immunologist Irina Yartseva announced the need to visit the sea every year. There he gets vitamin D.
