You can find vitamin C in fruits like kiwi and citrus fruits, red and green peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, leafy greens, strawberries, and more. Its roles in the body are numerous: protecting the heart; reducing the risk of heart attacks or strokes due to blood clots; helping prevent cancer; neutralizing carcinogens and boosting the immune system; slowing aging; protecting against stress; reducing mental pressures and essential for coping with stress; fighting fatigue and boosting energy levels in the body; protecting the lungs from harmful gases and speeding up wound healing; aiding in constipation and curbing appetite; preventing gum diseases; accelerating recovery from surgery; counteracting food allergies and allergies in general; preserving other vitamins in the body; protecting the brain and spinal cord from harmful molecules; dilating blood vessels similar to aspirin; removing cholesterol deposits in blood vessels; preventing diabetes complications; optimizing insulin activity in diabetic patients; protecting against fractures and bone diseases; helping in the production of the skeleton and connective tissues; weakening addiction to drugs and medicines; alleviating joint pain; strengthening and making blood vessels flexible; building blood; preventing cataracts; fighting bacteria and viruses; preventing sudden infant death syndrome (research-tested); and preventing toxic metals - lead, aluminum, and mercury - from being absorbed into the body and causing damage.
Be aware that toxic metals currently found in the air (air pollution) and in our living environment compete with essential minerals for absorption in the intestines, leading to a deficiency of minerals in the body (such as calcium, zinc, magnesium). Therefore, it is vital to consume vitamin C, to prevent toxic metals from being absorbed.
When there is a specific illness, the body needs large amounts of vitamin C. If you consume too much, diarrhea will occur, and then you can reduce the amount. On a regular day, you can consume at least 500 mg of vitamin C on an empty stomach, and occasionally take breaks. In many cases, a feeling of craving food or sweets after a meal reflects a deficiency in vitamin C. A vitamin C lozenge will immediately absorb into the bloodstream and satisfy the craving for sweets within minutes.
