Vitamin C and Your Immune System

Vitamin C and Your Immune System

A healthy immune system is key to longevity and wellness – it helps defend your body against viruses and the flu, keeping you well and healthy. Think of it as your body’s natural defence system. These days it’s especially important to follow healthy habits that support and maintain a strong immune system. Though it’s multi-factorial, and you have to account for exercise, sleep, and stress, nutrition plays a huge role in doing this – one key nutrient to ensure you get adequate amounts of Vitamin C. 

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, which means your body can’t produce it – you must get it from your diet! It supports the immune system in several ways: it helps grow and repair tissues, acts as a powerful antioxidant to help your body fight against damage, helps absorb iron, promotes healthy aging, amongst other benefits.  There is current research into the role it may play in cancer prevention. The recommended intake for Vitamin C is 75mg for adult females and 90mg for adult males.

Vitamin C Foods

To reach this, you should incorporate Vitamin-C rich foods in your diet on a daily basis. Contrary to popular belief, this extends beyond just oranges – bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, grapefruit, and spinach are all good sources of Vitamin C. An easy rule of thumb to follow is the “half your plate” method – during mealtimes, fill half your plate with at least 2 different types of vegetables and/or fruit.

Should you Supplement?

Whether or not you should take a Vitamin C supplement depends on your current diet, barriers towards integrating more into your life, and/or medical conditions that increase your Vitamin C requirements. TAPfit has launched Natrifi, a supplement containing Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium, and Zinc (other nutrients which are also essential to immune health), echinacea, elderberry).

Here’s an easy, family-friendly recipe that is packed with Vitamin C.

Vitamin C-Rich Bean Salad (serves 4)

Ingredients

  • 1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup spinach
  • ½ cup parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ¼ sliced avocado, ¼ cul olives, ¼ cup chopped nuts

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the beans and prepped vegetables.
  2. In a small dressing bowl (mason jars work great), whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix. Add optional ingredients as needed.

**This will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. This salad has Vitamin C, protein, and fibre. It goes great as a light lunch, or as a side to a main course.

22. Subscriptions, Free Trials, Billing and Subscription Cancellation.

Subscription

Ongoing Subscription. Your TAPfit Online Studio or TAPfit Instructor Program Subscription, which may start with a free trial, will continue month-to-month and will renew on every renewal period unless and until you cancel your Subscription or we terminate it. You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, “Payment Method”) to use the TAPfit Online Studio Subscription service or Tapfit Instructor Program service. We will bill the monthly Subscription fee to your Payment Method. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month’s Subscription fees to your Payment Method.

Differing Subscriptions. We may offer a number of Subscription plans, including special promotional plans or Subscriptions with differing conditions and limitations. Any materially different terms from those described in these Terms will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your Subscription with TAPfit Online Studio or TAPfit Instructor Program Subscription by visiting our website and clicking on the link. Some promotional Subscriptions are offered by third parties in conjunction with the provision of their own products and services. We are not responsible for the products and services provided by such third parties. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered Subscription plans.

Free Trials
Your Subscription may start with a free trial. The free trial period of your Subscription may last for one week, one month, or as otherwise specified during sign-up. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply. Free trials are for new and certain former members only. TAPfit reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility.
We will begin billing your Payment Method for monthly Subscription fees at the end of the free trial period of your Subscription unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period. To view the specific details of your Subscription, including monthly Subscription price and end date of your free trial period, visit our website and click the “View billing details” link on the online portal. We may authorize your Payment Method through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your free trial period.
You will not receive a notice from us that your free trial period has ended or that the paying portion of your Subscription has begun. Email support@tapfit.com for cancellation instructions. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on the agreed and accepted basis for your Subscription fee for your Subscription plan until you cancel.

Billing

Recurring Billing.
By starting your TAPfit Subscription and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorize us to charge you a monthly Subscription fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the TAPfit service to your Payment Method. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers, including gift card redemption and promotional code redemption, and/or changing or adding a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges.

Price Changes.
We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your service will take effect following email notice to you.

Billing Cycle.
The Subscription fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your Subscription and each month, thereafter unless and until you cancel your Subscription. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month, on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying Subscription. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying Subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your TAPfit Subscription or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Subscription. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of Subscription or service-related charges. As used in these Terms of Use, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, month or monthly refers to your billing cycle.

No Refunds for Subscriptions.
PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members (“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.

Payment Methods.
You may edit your Payment Method information by contacting us. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, “Cancellation” below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

Cancellation.
You may cancel your TAPfit Subscription at any time, and you will continue to have access to the TAPfit service through the end of your monthly billing period. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS OR UNWATCHED CONTENT. To cancel refer to our cancellation policy. If you cancel your Subscription, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period.
