"Even a hearty meal isn't enough!"... Trying this fruit firsthand, what's the effect of vitamin C?

Is there enough vitamin C in my body?

 

Even if you usually have hearty meals, you may still be deficient in vitamin C. Since the body cannot synthesize vitamin C on its own, it must be consciously consumed to prevent deficiency. Especially if you do not frequently eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, deficiency is inevitable.

 

The reporter usually complains about being tired all the time, but there was no particular pain or discomfort, and they regularly ate meals, so they didn't suspect a vitamin C deficiency. However, when they checked the vitamin C content of the foods they ate in a day using a 'Vitamin C Calculator,' the results were simply shocking.

 

For lunch, udon and salmon sushi, and for dinner, duck stew... I ate well, but my vitamin C intake is only about 2mg?

 

The 'Vitamin C Calculator' operated by Jespre is gaining recent attention as it allows users to assess their vitamin C intake with just a few clicks. The reporter also tried entering the foods consumed during breakfast, lunch, and dinner into the calculator.

 

Even after a hearty meal such as salmon sushi or duck stew before consuming kiwi, the vitamin C intake was still 'insufficient', but after eating kiwi, it was found to be 'adequate'. The vitamin C calculator is available to anyone participating in the 'Kiwi for Vitality!' campaign, which runs until the 31st. By entering your daily diet, you can check your vitamin C intake.

Except for that busy morning, I was proud to have eaten my meals heartily afterward. However, when I input the salmon sushi, udon, and duck soup I ate for lunch and dinner, the vitamin C content of all these foods (per 100g) was only 1.82mg. This was about 2% of the recommended daily vitamin C intake for adults, which is 100mg.

 

 

One kiwi is enough to meet the daily vitamin C requirement... It also provides over 20 nutrients such as potassium and folate.

 

Therefore, I decided to eat kiwi, a fruit known to be rich in vitamin C. While taking supplements is an option, using natural foods allows you to obtain a variety of nutrients beyond just vitamin C.

 

The vitamin C content in a 100g kiwi is 152g. When I measured the weight of the kiwi directly, it was 168g, and after consumption, the weight of the peel was about 20g. Considering that one kiwi exceeds 100g, the actual vitamin C intake from eating one piece is even higher.

The effect of a single kiwi was remarkable. After eating the kiwi, the vitamin C intake increased significantly to 153.8mg. The vitamin C content of a Sun Gold kiwi was found to be 152mg per 100g. Moreover, considering that one kiwi weighs over 100g, it is possible to consume more than 152mg of vitamin C. The reporter personally measured the weight of the kiwi, which was 168g, and after eating one, the weight of the peel was about 20g.

 

In addition to vitamin C, Sun Gold Kiwi contains about 20 nutrients including dietary fiber, potassium, and folate. You can easily eat it by splitting it in half without carefully peeling the skin. Its refreshing yet sweet taste makes it an ideal healthy snack.

 

7 out of 10 people in our country are deficient in vitamin C... Campaign participation available until the 31st

 

Actually, 7 out of 10 adults in our country are deficient in vitamin C. According to the '2022 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey' announced by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, 71.5% of adult men and 73.5% of adult women aged 19 and over did not meet the vitamin C intake standards. The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korean Nutrition Society have set the average daily vitamin C requirement for adults over 19 at 75mg, with a recommended intake of 100mg.

 

Jasprey has planned the 'Vitality with Kiwi!' campaign to promote the excellent nutrition of kiwifruit and contribute to boosting national vitality. The campaign runs until the 31st. Anyone can check their vitamin C status. Various prizes, including Jasprey kiwifruit or Kiwi Brothers emoticons, will be offered through a lottery.

......

Gold kiwifruit contains a lot of potassium, anemia

I often take vitamins because they are good for prevention.

It is said to have a high C content.

Whenever possible, all fruits and products should be domestically produced.

I prefer tropical fruits, especially kiwis, which are high in sweetness and delicious when from New Zealand.

These days, there are many jumbo kiwi promotions at Cash Deal.

How about using the accumulated cash to buy something?
