More Amazing Powers of Vitamin C Newly Discovered

Never underestimate the power of Vitamin C for your health. I always tell people to take Vitamin C supplements (preferably sodium ascorbate) daily for better health and disease prevention.

I read this report from the site 4.dr-rath-foundation.org highlighting "a new concept of the importance of Vitamin C in maintaining the inter-cellular substance of connective tissues." To get a better idea, the article is titled "Vitamins C and P in Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease."

In other words, Vitamin C is powerful for preventing (or probably even treating) heart and brain problems where blood vessels are concerned.

It mentioned a few but powerful health benefits:

1. Wonderful for cellular metabolism or the chemical reactions in living organism which are vital to maintain life.
2. Helps heal wounds faster.
3. Helps the adrenal gland function better.
4. Detoxifying certain drugs from the body like sulfanomides and arsenic.
5. Effective against inflammation and infections.
6. Vital key in cellular integrity.
7. Maturation of precollagen to turn it into collagen to strengthen body cells and tissues and help them stick together. However, lack of Vitamin C will not separate cells but may cause their degeneration, the study said.

For only P5.50 I have my daily dose of sodium ascorbate. Sometimes I take 2 or 3 to prevent internal inflammation. With the kind of foods we eat today (which are sometimes permeated with harmful chemicals, steroids and antibiotics), inflammation can easily be triggered in our body organs or systems. And inflammation can be very dangerous.

During times I have no choice but to eat meat or pork, I take 2 to 3 caps of sodium ascorbate for prevention. In normal times, I take one cap a day.

A lot of diseases can be prevented by simply taking Vitamin C supplements every day, aside from eating fruits with Vitamin C. But ask your doctor about it first.

PURE KALAMANSI THERAPY DID IT AGAIN: Got Rid of My Body Weakness and Kicked Out Flu

I was feeling weak the other week (see the rhyme?), was about to get the flu virus (sudden changes of weather seem to trigger the virus), when I remembered about the pure kalamansi therapy. So I asked my dear wife to buy me some pieces of fresh kalamansi and made myself a kalamansi puree. I drank that, without water or sugar.

And you know what happened?

Instantly my body condition changed. I felt much better and felt stronger, too. It was like magic. I was able to do my regular activities. In effect, it was a powerful bombardment of alkaline and natural Vitamin C that boosted my immunity and detoxed my system.

It worked fast because I'm regularly detoxed with the lifestyle I'm living. I do daily water therapy, exercise regularly, drink a lot of water and fruit juices, and eat healthy as often as I can. So, when I did the kalamansi therapy, it worked easy without much hindrance.

It will be different if you live an unhealthy and undetoxed lifestyle. You will have to take more kalamansi therapy to fight more toxins and free radicals. But sure enough, it will work in time. Just keep at it. And it's cheap--perfect for health and fitness with middle income budget.

How do you do a pure kalamansi therapy? Just slice 15 or 20 pieces of fresh kalamansi. Well, the ideal is 35 pieces or more. Squeeze them in a glass and drink that as it is, before 10 minutes after slicing the fruits. Take it first thing early in the morning, and do it daily--of course, with your doctor's approval. In my case, I didn't need the approval because I'm a health and wellness consultant trained under Dr. Jose M. Oclarit of Vital-C.

UNHEARD OF BUT REAL BENEFITS OF VITAMIN C: The More You Should Take It Seriously

We all know how vitamin C is essential for immune boost and blood circulation health. It is also important for collagen production to repair connective tissues. And in one article in Choy's Cut I discussed how Vitamin C strengthens the bones. Plus, we all know it's vital role against stress. But wait, there's more!

Lowers Bad Cholesterol: Vitamin C helps the conversion of your cholesterol into bile salts. This makes cholesterol easier to eliminate from the body and normalize your cholesterol count.

Prevents Heart Attack: Blood vessels that don't dilate may lead to a heart attack. The failed dilation can cause obstructions in the blood vessels and especially in coronary arteries that bring blood to your heart. But studies found that even minimal takes of Vitamin C can help improve blood vessel dilation.

Controls Sugar Levels in Diabetics: Vitamin C helps regulate the sugar levels of diabetics and prevent complications. Need I say more?

Helps Treat Cancer: Though this is something popular, many people still don't believe that Vitamin C can help treat cancer and sometimes even become wholly responsible for its cure. Cancer cells survive in acidic environment but natural Vitamin C, especially non-acidic sodium ascorbate, can keep your body alkaline. Cancer cells and infections die in alkaline environment. The notion is still that Vitamin C is acidic and may worsen cancer. They should search more on natural and non-acidic sodium ascorbate Vitamin C.

Helps Treat Neurological Problems: A German study found that people with mild dementia had very low levels of Vitamin C in their blood, along with low levels of beta-carotene and lycopene. The suggestion is to increase takes of Vitamin C.

Relieves Breathlessness: Broncho-constriction, or the narrowing of airways after physical exertion, can be lessened with regular intake of Vitamin C. This was discovered by a study done at the University of Helsinki in Finland. You can reduce shortness of breath after rigorous physical activities with Vitamin C.

Relieves Asthma Symptoms: Did you know that Vitamin C has antihistamine and antioxidant properties? This is good news to asthmatic people who suffer inflammation of airways and problems with the lungs. Antioxidants are excellently anti-inflammatory.

And the number of benefits go on. They always find new discoveries on the wonderful effects of this super, all-around vitamin. There's no reason why you should skip your daily Vitamin C supplementation aside from eating fruits high in it. Funny how a lot of people won't take health supplements but invest on cigarettes and liquor! They take them daily, spending huge amount of money annually on them.

Don't forfeit yourself even of this nutrient's anti-arthritis, anti-eye cataract, and anti-tuberculosis effects. And to be safe, take only non-acidic, sodium ascorbate Vitamin C in vegetable caps. Thus, I always take VITAL-C sodium ascorbate. It's been doing me great health improvements (from being easily susceptible to cold, cough, and flu)--all by God's grace and power.

Why Bones Get Brittle without Vitamin C

www.100pitches.org 

We were never told that lack of Vitamin C will make our bones brittle. All we know of bone health is to take enough calcium. Not Vitamin C. With Vitamin C, all we know is that it's good for body resistance against cold, cough and scurvy. Well, they didn't actually lie to us--they just didn't tell us everything there was to know. They probably also didn't know about these things.

But it came out in The Journal of Biological Chemistry. A study was done which discovered the pivotal role of Vitamin C in bone health. It's not just calcium we need but Vitamin C as well. In particular, the study found out that taking a bit more of Vitamin C (slightly higher than just getting enough for your immune health) actually promotes higher bone mass, lowering, if not preventing, bone fracture incidence. 

Osteoporosis drugs only take care of osteoclasts, or those cells that destroy bones. They do not rehabilitate and build up bones like Vitamin C does. This vitamin stimulates osteoblast cell production, building bone cells in the process, promoting constant bone renewal. I never knew this till I stumbled upon it one day while doing a research for a client. Now I know I have to take a little bit more of Vitamin C for my bones.

You see, if you'd just rely on traditional facts discovered eons ago and never update yourself with your own online research, you'd miss a lot and no one would care enough to tell you about them, especially not those you pay exorbitant medical fees to. Some medical experts are afraid you might really get well so they never tell you everything. Self medication through Google is not a good thing (you need your regular medical check up) but you need to do your own medical research now and then to cross check and update.

Anyway, citrus fruits and other fruits are rich in Vitamin C, so eat as much as you can, but I must warn you--many of them are loaded with chemical pesticides that poison your system aside from wreck your bone health. And with the fact that Vitamin C quickly evaporates from fruits when they are mishandled during delivery or sits a long time in fruit stalls or at the grocery store, I doubt if you'd get enough of it for your immune system. What more for your bone health?

That's why I supplement with Vital C. I eat lots of fruits when they're around and love drinking fresh fruit juices like kalamansi juice, but I never settle for them. I take non-acidic Vitamin C supplements to make sure. It's got to be non-acidic, like Vital C. Anyway, you can never "overdose" with Vitamin C because once your body has enough, it automatically gets rid of excess Vitamin C through your urine and sweat. Your body doesn't store or manufacture Vitamin C.

So count on it, you will only gain health with Vitamin C:

• Immune boost
• Delayed aging
• Fat burning and weight loss
• Cleansing and detox
• Bone health
