Vitamin C might not keep you from catching a cold, but not getting an adequate amount of the vitamin can keep you from burning fat.
A study from Arizona State found that folks with low-blood concentrations of vitamin C, who walked on treadmills for a 60-minute session, burned 25 percent less fat than other participants with adequate amounts of C. Fortunately, a simple dose of vitamin C remedied the lackluster fat-burning potential of the participants.

You're asking and I am answering.
Dear Fit,
I am suffering from an awful Summer cold and have been taking two or three 1000 mg vitamin C supplements and drinking an EmergenC a day. Is there any danger in taking too much of the vitamin?

Since we're in the middle of cold and flu season, it's a good idea to get your daily vitamin C. It won't prevent you from getting sick, but it can shorten the duration of your sickness if taken daily. We all know that oranges are great sources, but so many other foods you eat have surprising amounts. 
With all this talk about eating colorful fruits and veggies, pale cauliflower often gets left out in the cold. Just because it lacks color doesn't mean you should neglect this veggie.
First off, cauliflower is in season from December to March, so it should be easy to find a nice head of it at your grocery store. 
Let's face it, the holiday season is stressful. Couple that with all the runny noses that surround you and it becomes clear – vitamin C is your ally. Aside from helping shorten the duration of a cold, fighting wrinkles, and helping absorb iron, vitamin C is a stress buster. 
Cold and flu season is fast approaching and during this germ filled time vitamin C is your ally. While it might not prevent you from catching a cold, taking vitamin C can reduce the severity and duration of your cold. Plus it is great for your skin too.

I crave greens, no matter the season. When it is cold outside, I often choose a cooked green over salads. I just want to eat warm food.
