Why Vitamin
C Is Important
|
There’s been a great deal of research concerning the many ways in which
Vitamin C is beneficial to health. Also known as ascorbic acid, this
nutrient serves the body in a variety of ways. In addition to the long
established means of helping to maintain health, there’s a great deal
of research indicating its value in helping the body overcome serious
illness and disease. Some studies indicate a good potential for the
possibility that Vitamin C can even help prevent some diseases.
What we definitely know about vitamin C is that it is an essential part
of the creation of collagen in the body. Collagen is particularly import
to the connective tissues of the body and is the scar of healed wounds
is made of. We also know that it helps to keep the gums healthy and
the teeth tight. It also promotes healthy cell growth and development,
as well as helps the body to use the iron and calcium it takes in. Vitamin
C plays an important role in the healing of wounds and the rebuilding
of tissues, helps to keep tiny capillaries functioning the way that
they should, and also serves to prevent dangerous blood clots.
From the many scientific studies through the years, Vitamin C has come
to be associated with many other health benefits. These include such
things as strengthening the body’s immune system, helping to fight infection,
playing a role in the reduction of cholesterol and high blood pressure,
and having a part in the prevention of arteriosclerosis. Furthermore,
Vitamin C has been associated with helping to prevent cataracts, cardiovascular
diseases and even certain types of cancer. Research continues into these
intriguing areas of study.
A lack of Vitamin C has been known for many years to be the cause of
the disease scurvy. Early signs of scurvy include red bumps around hair
follicles, easy bruising, joint pain and a general feeling of weakness
and fatigue. As the disease progresses, small open sores begin to appear
on the body and in the mouth. The teeth loosen and gum tissue bleeds.
Other ways in which a deficiency of Vitamin C can affect the health
of the body include poor digestion, water retention, frequent colds,
and low energy levels.
While the minimum standard of Vitamin C daily intake is 60 micrograms
or mg, most recommend consuming significantly more than that. The minimum
requirement offers protection against the worst symptoms of Vitamin
C deficiency, with most of the positive effects coming from intake levels
of 200 to 500 mgs daily. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and thus,
passes out of the body with urine. That means it must be replaced daily.
Many people find that using Vitamin C supplements is a safe and convenient
means of making sure that the daily Vitamin C intake goals are met.
Your desired daily intake of Vitamin C will depend of what you are hoping
to achieve with your intake, i.e. helping to reduce cholesterol or high
blood pressure, helping in collagen production, or building up your
immune system. Seeing your health care professional is a good way to
determine the best and most beneficial daily intake level for you.
