How is Super Health with Vitamin 'C' ?

Vitamin 'C'

                    More than 120 illnesses have been detected which can be prevented or eliminated with a good dose of Vitamin- C, also called Ascorbic Acid. It has been found that if this vitamin is taken along with oat bran, its healing properties are increased.

                  Taking Vitamin C with Oat Bran causes more to be absorbed into the body, increasing its curative and preventative qualities. In addition, you include the magnificent properties that the oat has to lower cholesterol level in the blood. It has been demonstrated that by taking 50 grams of oat bran daily, blood cholesterol is reduced by almost 3% in adults.

                Vitamin – C is not produced by the body and for this reason, it is necessary to take it daily, either by food or beverages that contain it, or through nutritional supplements. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) is at least 60 mg (minimum) of Vitamin – C.

                  It is important to know that cigarettes, smog and other environmental ills destroy the amount of this vitamin in your body. For example, one cigarette destroys up to 25 mg, that is to say, almost half the recommended daily allowance.

Why does Vitamin – C have such strong healing properties?

                Our white blood cells, which defend the body against all types of hostile elements like bacteria, need a large amount of vitamin – C to function. If the defense system of the body is not in good condition, it will not be able to eliminate the principal enemies of the body, and illnesses and infections will result in that person.

                That is why when you have a throat infection or symptoms of a cold, it is recommended that you gargle with lemon juice. Lemon and orange, like other citrus, contain a lot of vitamin – C. It has been found that vitamin – C kills bacteria in the urinary tract, and also has proven effective to fight illnesses of the respiratory system like Asthma, Bronchitis, and Chest Colds. It helps with dryness of the mucous membrane in the lungs and respiratory system. There is evidence that a vitamin-C deficiency increases the risk of Lung Cancer.

            Arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) can be related to the lack of vitamins. It has been discovered that a good dose of vitamin- C lowers the cholesterol level in the blood.

Vitamin – C is fundamental in the formation of collagen, an essential substance for the whole body. The abnormal functioning of collagen can produce: Aging, Muscular pain, Gout, Rheumatic fever, Rheumatoid arthritis, Colitis and Inflammation of the Blood Vessels. These afflictions can be combated if collagen has the ability to regenerate itself quick enough, and the only way that can happen is through a large intake of vitamin – C. Drink orange juice daily.

Vitamin-C is a great antidote for neutralizing free radicals, the principal cause of aging.

It is recommended to take at least 180 mg per day.
