Question

6. Julie's mother is suffering from swollen and
painful joints, bleeding gums. Wounds do
not heal properly. What is this deficiency?
What type food can cure her?
​

Answer 1

the correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is necessary for wound healing. It is needed for many functions in the body, including helping the body use carbohydrates, fats, and protein. Vitamin C also strengthens blood vessel walls. Lack of vitamin C can lead to a condition called scurvy, which causes muscle weakness, swollen and bleeding gums, loss of teeth, and bleeding under the skin, as well as tiredness and depression. Wounds also do not heal easily. Your health care professional may treat scurvy by prescribing vitamin C for you. Vitamin C is present in citrus fruits.
