Recently, a video circulated the internet in which a ‘woman of God’ was telling her members not to take Vitamin C anymore because it is from the sea. However, this is one of the sermons you should ignore except your doctor says otherwise because vitamin C has some great benefits, especially if you’re trying to lose some weight.
The benefits of vitamins cannot be overemphasized. Vitamins help in maintaining our body’s health and fighting against infections. They are essential to our everyday living and among many benefits help with weight loss.
Seeing as we almost always do not get the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C from our food which is 2000mg/day, we need to supplement with fruits or medicine. And if you know exactly how Vitamin C works to help you lose weight, you’d be making sure you have enough servings of the alphabet daily.
Here are 3 major benefits of Vitamin C for weight loss…
