Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, often characterized by symptoms like bleeding gums and fatigue. Sailors in the 18th century frequently suffered from scurvy during long voyages due to a lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. Today, it serves as a reminder of the importance of a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients.
