What can you do to prevent scurvy?
To prevent scurvy, you should ensure that you are consuming enough vitamin C in your diet. Vitamin C is found in various fruits and vegetables, including:
* Citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes)
* Strawberries
* Cantaloupe
* Mango
* Pineapple
* Kiwi
* Broccoli
* Red and green bell peppers
* Tomatoes
* Cabbage
* Cauliflower
* Brussels sprouts
If you are unable to obtain sufficient vitamin C from your diet alone, you may also consider taking a vitamin C supplement to ensure that you meet your daily requirement. The recommended daily intake of vitamin C for adults is 65-90 milligrams, although this may vary depending on individual circumstances and health conditions.
