What’s Good About Vitamin C?

If you want to avoid the seasonal cough and cold this winter then make sure you take enough vitamin C. Fortunately for you, many kinds of foods are rich in vitamin C. Thus, you only need to tweak your diet to make sure that you do not suffer from vitamin C deficiency. If you smoke, then you are particularly at risk because smoking reduces the body’s ability to absorb vitamin C.

Signs of vitamin C deficiency are dry hair, inflammation of the gums, rough and dry skin, slow rate of wound healing, easy bruising, nosebleeds and a weak immunity system. Scurvy is the most severe form of vitamin C deficiency. If you have any of these symptoms, then you should be careful to include foods with vitamin C in your diet.

Health benefits of vitamin C

1. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant, which means that it protects your body from diseases

including arthritis, heart disease and even cancer. As an antioxidant, it prevents free radicals from damaging the DNA. Over time, the effect of free radicals leads to ageing.

2. It is important for the production of collagen (which helps to keep your skin smooth and supple).  

3. It is an active ingredient in the building of body tissue, tendons and ligament. Even blood vessels are built using vitamin C.

4. Vitamin C is absolutely essential in repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.

5. By synthesizing stress hormones like adrenaline, vitamin C protects the brain and the nervous system from the harmful effects of stress.

6. Vitamin C prevents common cold from escalating. Taking vitamin C in case of cold and lung infection shows enormous improvement. Vitamin C reduces the risk of developing pneumonia and other lung infections.

7. If you want to control your cholesterol level then make sure you take enough vitamin C. It speeds up the conversion of cholesterol into bile salts. In such a form, it can be easily eliminated from the body.

8. In people suffering from heart disease, vitamin C helps to keep the blood vessels dilated. This improves the blood flow to vital organs.

9. It reduces the dryness of your skin as well as prevents the formation of wrinkles.
