Discover the Benefits of Acerola

When it comes to Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid), acerola will be one of your greatest allies when it comes to meeting your daily requirements of this vitamin.

Acerola is known as the queen of vitamin C, and with just one glass of acerola juice, you can meet all your daily vitamin C needs. That's why this fruit is always present in my house.

Now I'll show you why consuming Vitamin C is essential for your body.

Benefits of Vitamin C:

• Improves iron absorption
• Promotes memory and cognition
• Balances the immune system
• Maintains healthy skin
• Lowers "bad" cholesterol
• Controls blood pressure
• Promotes a good mood

As you can see, consuming Vitamin C will greatly benefit your body and prevent you from developing scurvy.

Scurvy is a disease caused by a severe vitamin C deficiency. This condition occurs when a person does not consume foods rich in vitamin C for a prolonged period or is unable to absorb the nutrient. Although a rare condition these days, scurvy affects individuals with unbalanced diets or in situations where fresh, nutritious food is scarce.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, just one glass of acerola juice is more than enough to meet your vitamin C needs. If you've never tried this fruit, fear not, because it's delicious, especially as a juice.

Another tip I can give you to make acerola juice even tastier is to add milk to it. If you're not lactose intolerant, this is a delicious tip, and I have no doubt you'll want to drink this juice every day.

If you don't like acerola, there are other fruits that can meet your daily vitamin C needs, such as guava, cashew, lemon, orange, papaya, strawberry, and others. These fruits have a much lower concentration of vitamin C than acerola, but they're still excellent options. The important thing is not to deprive yourself of vitamin C.

As I write this post, I'm enjoying a delicious acerola juice with milk, don't resist, just accept the supremacy of acerola.
