#VitaminC

As Thailand continues to embrace health-conscious eating, a buzz has emerged around one question: which berry truly packs the greatest nutritional punch? From the tangy strawberry fields of Samoeng to imported blueberries lining Bangkok’s supermarket shelves, berries have become a local staple and a symbol of premium nutrition. A recent wave of research and international dietitian commentary suggests that while all common berries—blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries—offer unique health supershots, choosing the “healthiest” is not as simple as picking a single berry from the basket. With varying concentrations of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, each berry brings its own strengths. So, what does the latest research say, and how does it matter for Thai consumers seeking optimal wellbeing through diet?

A breakthrough study has found that Vitamin C, long celebrated for its role in immune health, may also target visible signs of skin aging and help the skin appear noticeably younger.

As Thai society places a strong cultural emphasis on appearance, health, and wellness, the relevance of this research is clear. Skin health has moved beyond simple cosmetics, with younger generations valuing evidence-based strategies for maintaining their appearance as part of a holistic lifestyle. Interest in accessible, natural approaches that can be incorporated into daily life — especially in a country rich in fresh produce — has never been higher.

A groundbreaking Japanese study has revealed that vitamin C can help reverse age-related thinning of the skin by activating so-called “youth genes,” offering hope to many Thais concerned about healthy aging and skin rejuvenation. This research, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology on April 20, 2025, demonstrates for the first time that vitamin C works at the genetic level to promote thicker, healthier skin in ways that extend beyond its antioxidant reputation and traditional beauty claims (sciencedaily.com).

Lemons, long a humble fixture in Thai kitchens and street food stalls, have been revealed as the healthiest fruit of all, according to a series of recent scientific studies and media reports. This finding, upending the classic rivalry between apples and bananas for the crown of healthiest fruit, places this small but mighty citrus front and center in the pursuit of better health and disease prevention for people in Thailand and beyond. At a time when diet-related illnesses remain a growing concern in the kingdom, the research highlights practical, affordable ways for Thais to enhance wellness using an ingredient already woven into national cuisine and daily life.
