Jakarta - Living in the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, Indonesian people inevitably, like it or not, like it or not, upgrade the new normal lifestyle or in Indonesian called Adaptation of New Habits (AKB) in all lines. For the sake of continuing life, now people are fluent in always wearing masks, washing hands, and keeping their distance. Introspection and discipline to do IMR have also been disciplined at home, public facilities, and even all types of offices.

The fasting month of Ramadan 1442 Hijri is the second fasting month during the pandemic. The people of Indonesia should also realize that it is not enough to only IMR physical activity that needs to be done regularly.

Indeed, since the pandemic, Indonesians have become more literate about the importance of hygiene and health. This makes health supplement products increasingly needed during the pandemic because people hope that if vitamin needs are met, the immune system will also be maintained.

If you've read the testimonials of COVID-19 survivors, you may know that the mandatory supplements taken regularly in the treatment center include vitamins C and D. Vitamin C and D supplements should not be absent when fasting during a pandemic.

Vitamin C Before Imsak, So You Don't Get Sick Easily

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid is a type of vitamin that cannot be produced naturally by the body, so it requires external intake to fulfill it. Uniquely, vitamin C is easily absorbed in body tissues and the gastrointestinal tract because it is water-soluble and cannot be stored in the body so it is safe to consume every day. You can choose oranges, guava, kiwi, mango, cantaloupe, or vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and red peppers as sources of vitamin C that are safe to consume every day.

Launching from The Healthy, you can fulfill your vitamin C needs in a day by consuming a high intake of vitamin C. Harvard University's Nutrition Source page reveals the important benefits of vitamin C, especially when fasting, among others,

Vitamin C is effective in helping your body become stronger and less prone to illness due to increased immunity.

As an antioxidant that can protect body cells from being damaged by free radicals, it reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and premature aging.

Vitamin C helps the production of collagen so as to maintain skin elasticity and flexibility as well as facilitate the wound healing process.

Various studies state that the ideal daily dose of vitamin C intake during the pandemic is 500-1000 mg per day. To positively support the IMR that occurs in Indonesian society, Mecosin Indonesia, which has been known for decades as a manufacturer of original Indonesian herbal medicines and supplements, produces MecoVit-C 500mg. MecoVit-C 500 mg is specially produced for those of you who are at a productive age and still active outside the home, to maintain endurance while reducing the risk of contracting COVID-19.

Vitamin D3 After Iftar, to Keep Your Mood for the Day

Not eating and drinking for a long time, such as during fasting, will obviously affect your mood. Even if you are fasting, you are still advised to take the time to sunbathe or do activities in the sun. Vitamin D, which dissolves in body fat, has several important benefits, among others,

Reduces the risk of depression as vitamin D can help calm your emotions and make them more stable.

Boosts your immune system. During the fasting month, vitamin D3 will help your body fight off any threatening infections or viruses.

Maintains bone health.

Reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes and prevents cancer.

Helps you lose weight. For those of you who want to get the bonus benefit of fasting, namely losing weight, you must take vitamin D supplements.

To get the benefits of vitamin D from sunlight, bask in the sun for ± 15 minutes. At 09.30-10.30 WIB or 14.00-15.00 WIB is the ideal time, because at that time Ultra Violet B (UVB) rays contain the most vitamin D. As an alternative to vitamin D3 fulfillment, MecoVit-D3 with a dose of 1,000 IU produced by PT Mecosin Indonesia is now available. The 1,000 IU dose of this vitamin D supplement is recommended as a standard maintenance dose to keep blood vitamin D levels optimal. Vitamin D3 intake after breaking the fast is very important to maintain your mood after breaking the fast until the next day.
