Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water soluble nutrient needed by the humans for collagen formation in bones, blood vessels, muscles, and cartilage. This vitamin is also required by the human body for iron absorption and is recommended along with iron supplements for people affected with anemia. In addition to all these benefits, vitamin C is also required for healing wounds and repair of teeth and bones.

Vitamin C is not producible by the human body on its own and needs to be taken from external sources such as watermelon, cabbage, winter squash, Brussels sprouts, papaya, cranberries, pineapples, and red peppers.

Deficiency of vitamin C in the body can lead to health complications such as anemia, possible weight gain due to slowed metabolism, easy bruising, bleeding gums, dry and splitting hair, and nosebleeds.

The recommended daily intake (in milligrams) of Vitamin C is as follows:

Infants and Children

* 0 – 6 months: 40 mg/day

* 7 – 12 months: 50 mg/day

* 1 – 3 years: 15 mg/day

* Boys 14 – 18 years: 75 mg/day

The senses of superiority and inferiority are best thrown out so that one not only is happy and satisfied on his own but can also contribute to the well being and betterment of people around him. And yes, do not need to climb the Mount Everest to feel and think positive, just find happiness in what you like to do and this can be anything from making people laugh to book reading or having a social gathering or swimming. The choice is yours, the life is yours but do not forget to live it king size.
