Summary:
#1. Vitamin C can help to prevent gout attacks by reducing your blood uric acid levels. Gout affects about 4% of American adults and its an inflammation of the joints especially the joint of the big toes. This leads to severe pain and swelling. The symptoms result from having too much uric acid in your blood, which is a waste product produced by your body. #2. Vitamin C can help reduce your risk for heart disease. It helps by reducing the risk factors associated with heart disease and thus reducing your risk for heart disease. Studies show that taking at least 500mg of vitamin C supplements daily or consuming vitamin c rich foods can help to reduce your risk of getting heart disease. #3. Vitamin C can help with managing high blood pressure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about one-third of American adults suffer from high blood pressure, and the World Health Organization suggests that high blood pressure increases your risk for heart disease which is the leading cause of death worldwide. #4. Vitamin C can reduce your risk of getting chronic diseases. Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that strengthens your body’s natural defenses by boosting your immune system, which protects cells from harmful molecules called free radicals. The accumulation of free radicals in your body promotes oxidative stress which studies show is associated with many chronic diseases. #5. Vitamin C can help in preventing Iron Deficiency. As you know iron is important in making red blood cells and moving oxygen throughout your body. Vitamin C can help to improve your body’s iron absorption by up to 67% which means that vitamin C can be extremely helpful in reducing the risk of anemia in individuals who are prone to iron deficiency.
#6. Vitamin C can help protect your memory as you age. As we all know dementia is an age-related condition associated with symptoms of poor thinking and memory. It affects more that 35 million people in the world and typically affects older adults. #7. Vitamin C can boost your immunity. Research suggests that vitamin C helps with the production of white blood cells which help protect your body against infections. It also protects your white blood cells from damage by potentially harmful free radicals. Studies also show that it is actively transported to your skin where it acts as an antioxidant and strengthens your skin’s barriers.
