Vitamin C, Immunity Boosting Smoothie
Vitamin C is one of essential nutrients for humans, which must be supplied externally as human beings cannot produce vitamin C. It is essential for the strengthening of our connective tissue, essential for the functioning of the immune system. Cellular immune response (TH1) is highly dependable on appropriate levels of vitamin C. Vitamin C increases the level of functioning macrophages, these are the cells that clean the body of viruses, bacteria and other debris.
