Scurvy Awareness Day, on May 23, is a day to learn about scurvy, a disease caused by not getting enough vitamin C. This disease was common when people didn't eat enough fruits and vegetables, like sailors on long sea trips. On this day, we remember to eat healthy foods, like oranges and strawberries, that help prevent scurvy. It's important to understand how different foods keep us healthy. By learning this, we respect and appreciate our health and the ways people have learned to stay healthy throughout history.
