Right now, we're both under medication, drinking lots of water, and packing up on Vitamin C as much as we can.
Yue loves oranges - which is good, because he gets just the more than enough Vitamin C that his body needs. A medium-sized orange contains 70mg Vitamin C, while the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of Vitamin C for Yue's age is 25mg per day.
On the other hand, women my age are recommended to consume at least 75mg of Vitamin C daily.
Guavas are the richest source of Vitamin C, as it boasts of 188mg per half cup. That's more than twice of a thirty-year-old woman's RDA!
I'm munching on these guava slices as I write, and I do hope for my sniffles to go away real soon.
There's too much to do at home, and I really hate it when I'm down with the sickness like this.
My son loves orange too.. hahaha we here have colds too and cough.. because of the weather.. it changes often.. and I hate it. now here in cebu, super ulan.. d na carry may baby pa naman ako. :( Well, i hope all of us will get better soon.. :)
