Abstract		Vitamin C je esencialen vodotopen vitamin. in ugotavljali ali se mladi zavedajo pomena vitamina C v njihovi prehrani. Ugotavljali smo tudi katera živila, ki vsebujejo vitamin C poznajo in s katerimi živili vključujejo vitamin C v vsakdanjo prehrano. Metode: Izvedli smo raziskavo o vitaminu C s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Anketo je izpolnilo 30 mladih, starih med 18 do 25 let. Anketni vprašalnik je vseboval 18 vprašanj. Rezultati Ugotovili smo, da se mladi zavedajo pomena vitamina C v njihovi prehrani, ter poznajo živila, ki vsebujejo več vitamina C, vendar pa so o samem vitaminu C še premalo ozaveščeni. Vitamin C uživajo s svežim sadjem in zelenjavo, predvsem z namenom, da bi preprečili ali omilili simptome prehlada, zmanjšali stres ter pripomogli k boljšemu delovanju imunskega sistema... Diskusija in zaključki: Zaradi današnjega hitrega tempa življenja in stresa, mladi ne posvečajo dovolj pozornosti temu kako se prehranjujejo. Ne zavedajo se kakšne posledice puščajo na telesu, zaradi pomanjkanja vitaminov in mineralov. Na splošno mladostniki še vedno uživajo premalo sadja in zelenjave in ne vnesejo priporočenih dnevnih količin vitaminov in mineralov.Vitamin C also named ascorbic acid is the most known vitamin. It is very important for our organism and health and has an important role in several biological processes. In this research we assessed whether young people are aware of the importance of vitamin C in their diet. We also determined which foods, containing vitamin C, they included in everyday consumption. Methods We conducted a study on vitamin C by means of a questionnaire. The survey was completed by 30 young people, aged 18-25 years. The questionnaire contained 18 questions. Results We learned that young people are aware of the importance of vitamin C in their diet, and that they are familiar with foods that contain more vitamin C, but they had little public awareness about the vitamin C. They consume vitamin C with fresh fruit and vegetables, particularly to prevent or alleviate the symptoms of colds, to reduce stress and contribute to the better functioning of the immune system. Discussion and conclusions Due to today%s fast pace of life and stress, young people do not pay enough attention to what they eat. They are not aware of the consequences they are leaving on their body due to insufficient vitamin and mineral intake. In general, young people still do not eat enough fruit and vegetables and do not intake the recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals.
