Does vitamin C help with the prevention of the flu?
Prevention? Yes.
I want to say yes, but I feel like it doesn’t.
I saw an interview you recently did with IU.
I noticed you’re basically in love with vitamins.
How much vitamins do you eat in a day?
Do you eat vitamins? Vitamin C?
Yeah I do eat vitamin C.
How much do you take?
Not sure, it’s one of the packaged powder thing.
Oh the powder ones.
I usually take about…
15 times more than an average person should take.
Is that OK for your insides?
I eat it in between meals or right after.
I heard it was good for you so I’m trying that right now.
Vitamins. How do you pronounce it? Vitamins?
Vitamins yeah.
Vitamin?
Yeah.
C.
Megadose is what it’s called.
So a huge amount.
Yeah it’s an excessive dosage.
There’s a lot of speculation about this.
But what I believe and heard was that if you eat a lot…
it supplies your body to the max
and then the leftovers get released.
I was too busy these days to take them
but I try my best to take nutritional supplements also.
When I wake up in the morning,
I eat probiotics and propolis as well.
After I eat, I make sure to take multivitamins and vitamin C.
Something called curcumin as well as vitamin A.
That’s good.
A man that is thorough with his self-care.
Do you work out as well?
Yeah I just came back from working out.
Got lots to learn.
I’m trying my best to work out.
I feel like I’m living my life too recklessly.
I used to take a lot of vitamins
but I was worried that it would mess me up somehow so I stopped.
But I still take vitamin C and the multivitamins.
If there’s nothing bad that happens, you should be fine.
OK, since you know a lot about vitamins…
Our producers prepared a vitamin quiz for you.
Pretty simple.
I’ll be giving this to you.
Does vitamin C help with the prevention of the flu?
Prevention? Yes.
I want to say yes, but I feel like it doesn’t.
It doesn’t.
Right.
I was surprised to find out it doesn’t as well.
It won’t help with preventing,
but it could help with lessening the symptoms.
Which vitamin would help with the prevention then?
I don’t know.
I haven’t gotten the flu for a while actually.
Same, it’s been a while for me as well.
Is it because of the masks?
Let’s say that it is because of the masks.
Please everybody wear your masks.
Alright, the ‘vita’ in vitamin means life,
and ‘amine’ because it was thought to have amino acids.
True or False?
Why’d you guys make this?
I feel like this is true.
Yup, you’re right.
First time seeing this.
Not sure what you would do by knowing this,
but they included this in.
Which one of these has the most vitamin C?
Orange juice, strawberries or kiwis?
This one is,
Is it kiwis?
Nope, strawberries.
I guess I don’t know a lot.
You will be learning a lot of stuff today.
Apparently, intaking vitamins through food is the best.
Right, I love strawberries and it's almost strawberry season.
Gotta eat some strawberries.
Yeah eat some strawberries.
I want to eat strawberries…
Alright, let’s see.
There is more potassium in avocados than bananas.
True or False?
Potassium? Avocados?
This is false.
This is true.
I like avocados.
I also love avocados.
It tastes good.
I heard avocados have good fat in them and it tastes good.
So I eat them often.
Same here. I feel like avocados are suitable anytime.
There’s a burger at The Famous Burger that has avocados in it.
A low key plug there I see.
We put in a lot of avocados.
You sure there’s a lot?
‘Cause it’s really annoying when some places give out
avocados that are tiny.
There are places that does that, but not The Famous Burger.
Plentifully.
Yup.
