Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient for maintaining human life activities. There have been clear scientific research showing that vitamin C can enhance the bactericidal and antiviral ability of white blood cells and enhance the human immunity . In this regard, in an interview with the media, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, mentioned several times that vitamin C has a positive effect on fighting new coronary pneumonia .
In the SCI journal "Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences", there has also been a paper titled "How Nutrients Help Fight the New Coronavirus Epidemic" (titled Translated). It clearly states that
(translation) In the current environment, the only sustainable way to survive is to strengthen the immune system . Apart from vitamin C, there is no evidence that other supplements can cure the immune system, and supplementing with vitamin C is one of the best ways to improve the immune system. A reasonable diet can ensure that the body is in the right state to defeat the virus .

Vitamin C is widely present in fruits and vegetables. By eating more vitamin C-rich foods in daily diet, you can meet the human body's needs for vitamin C. during the special period, enhances immunity is the key!

1. Orange
Every 100 grams of orange contains 33 mg of vitamin C, which can be said to be the representative of high-dimensional C fruits. Orange has a pleasant smell and is also rich in vitamin and trace element . Eat some in moderation to help enhance immunity.
