Vitamin C

When the twins were three months old they both developed bronchiolitis. This is fairly common and is even more prevalent in pre-term babies.
Unfortunately poor Sophie ended up in hospital and we were informed they would most likely develop asthma later on.
One of the best ways to combat respiratory ailments is through increasing the intake of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C has now become so important as it strengthens the immune system. Vitamin C is the primary antioxidant in the bronchi and the lungs and helps prevent attacks caused by allergens. So how do we get more of this vitamin into our diets?
Cherries are particular rich in Vitamin C and others that require attention are
broccoli,
citrus fruits
kiwi fruit
(Capsicum) peppers,
pineapple,
papaya,
all green vegetables,
strawberries
tomatoes.
If you are going to supplement with Vitamin C just remember that it is utilized and used by the body within 4 hours, so divided dose is required.
