Fruits have been notably a health source to a balanced diet for many years. With the right portion, you can mark a tick off your daily vitamin intake checklist. This is because fruits contain various types of natural vitamins and antioxidants that are beneficial to health. The natural antioxidants in fruits and vegetables will help keep your body working at its best \u2013 a diet that meets your daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways to give your body a strong defence against diseases.<\/p>\n

Out of the many vitamins available, Vitamin C is essential to protect the immune system, reduces the severity of allergic reactions and helps to fight off infections. It also plays an important role in bone formation, wound healing and the maintenance of healthy gums. The other interesting fact about Vitamin C is that it battles the effects of free radicals and encourages collagen production.<\/p>\n

Complementing the benefits Vitamin C has, antioxidants further prevents free radical damage that have been associated with cancer development. Although the human body creates its own antioxidants, the amount is insufficient; we are still highly dependent on external sources to boost immunity to the body. These external sources are commonly found in fruits, vegetables and other natural food sources for a rich foundation of dietary antioxidants.<\/p>\n

According to Malaysian Dietary Guidelines 2010 by the Ministry of Health Malaysia, we need at least two (2) servings of fruits and three (3) servings of vegetables a day. Studies have also shown that only 6% of Malaysians eat enough fruits and vegetables, which is a drop from 7.5% from last year. Some of the more common factors are that Malaysians live a busy lifestyle \u2013 having a balanced meal with the right portion of fruits seem to be less important, and the majority of the people today are often on-the-go, the preference lies with meals that are quick and easy. The most convenient method to consume natural Vitamin C filled with antioxidants is through a nutritious glass of fruit juice.<\/p>\n
