Why You Need Vitamin C

9/22/2021

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that your body isn’t able to produce on its own. You hear lots about it, but what does it really do for you? Quite a bit actually:

🍊 Skin Health
Vitamin C helps produce collagen as well as skin and muscle tissue. It’s also been found to help speed healing of wounds.

🍊 Heart Health
Antioxidant properties of vitamin C along with its ability to widen blood vessels and reduce plaque make it great for your cardiovascular system.

🍊 Immunity Boost
White blood cell production and efficiency gets a boost from vitamin C. Additionally, your skin becomes more resilient and acts as a better barrier for your body.

🍊 Boosts Iron Absorption
Iron is critical in red blood cell creation and moving oxygen throughout your body. Vitamin C can help improve your absorption rate of iron from your diet. This is especially helpful for those on a meat-free diet that get their iron from plant sources, as those can sometimes be difficult to absorb.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
