Our bodies need all the help they can get to ward off diseases and infections. Vitamin C is the most important nutrient with the power to perform this role. Although it cannot cure diseases, it protects us from getting sick so that there won’t be a need for a cure in the first place. It is vital in the growth and repair of tissues and aids other nutrients, like collagen, in performing their roles. Dr. Jockers shares the top 6 reasons why Vitamin C is beneficial to the body and how it can achieve an optimum level of efficacy. Discover the food sources that contain this important nutrient and the right colors of fruits and vegetables you should be eating.    “Today, toxicity and deficiency are the big factors when it comes to health and disease.
