Vitamin C on a ketogenic kind of diet
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an important and essential compound that many people don not get enough from only by taking food into the organism, and should be taken in especially high quantities during a ketogenic diet.
Where we can find Vitamin C in the nature?
Vitamin C is found only in fruits and vegetables. But unfortunately, one should not think if one cooks a pot of vegetables that he haves a wealth of vitamin C that is just waiting to be cheerfully transfered into your body. The biggest problem of this vitamin is that it is so unstable that even small exposures to sun light destroys it. We don’t even need to mention how negatively cooking affects it.
Why we need Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is necessary for the biosynthesis of collagen, but also protects vitamins E and A, which are among the vitamins that are soluble in fat, not water. Vitamin C also protects fatty acids from oxidation and cures the disease known as scurvy.
Why should we take Vitamin C especially during reduced calorie intake?
Reduction in calories to lower levels than one’s body is used to, reduces the immune system and often causes severe fatigue, acne and various other conditions among younger people. Reduction in motivation and concentration is also very common. Vitamin C helps and benefits the immune system, keeping the organism strong to fight colds, flu, or other conditions such as chronic fatigue, sore throat, cancer and various other diseases.
This is why vitamin C should be taken in high enough amounts on a nutritional plan that is mostly based on ketogenic recipes and meals.
