Vitamin C is Essential!

Why Is Vitamin C Important?

Vitamin C is the infection-fighter; a well known, powerful antioxidant.

However, did you know that Vitamin C is depleted in the body when there is stress caused by infections, illness, fatigue, surgeries, anxiety, pollution and extremes in temperatures?

If you smoke, take the birth control pill or drink alcohol, your body reserves of vitamin C are depleted. And as we age, more vitamin C, is needed to regenerate collagen.

Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron and calcium. It has a natural antihistamine affect and can help with allergies. Heart disease risk is lowered to about 40%, and the risk of cancer may also be reduced with regular intake of vitamin C.

Vitamin C is frequently used in the prevention and treatment of the common cold, and may offer some protection from radiation [x-rays]. Also there is a reduction of risk of cataracts developing when taking vitamin C.

Nutrition Alert— If you have the following symptoms, it is strongly recommended that you ensure you include adequate amounts of Vitamin C [foods-fruits & vegetables] or nutritional supplements to your diet:

~Emotional or physical stress
~Bruise easily & Bleeding gums
~Nosebleeds
~Varicose & spider veins
~Slow healing of wounds & fractures
~Chronic infections
~Shortness of breath
~Allergies & asthma
~Frequent colds & flu
~Prickly heat
~Swollen glands
~Anemia
~ A weakened immune system
~Polyps in colon

HOW CAN WE GET ENOUGH VITAMIN C?

Many of us do not eat a variety of fruits and vegetables that contain Vitamin C, like:

Apple           Cranberry     Banana
Cantalope    Orange          Grapefruit
Pineapple    Strawberry


Cabbage        Potato          Pumpkin
Tomatoe       Sweet Potato   Green & Red Pepper

And because Vitamin C can be readily lost from foods during preparation, cooking, or storage, to retain vitamin C:

~Serve fruits and vegetables raw whenever possible.
~Steam, boil, or simmer foods in a minimal amount of water
~Store cut raw fruits and vegetables in an airtight container and refrigerate - do not soak or store in water. Vitamin C will be dissolved in the water.

If you do not eat properly or become ill frequently, try Shaklee's Sustained Release Vita-C capsules. You'll receive on-going antioxidant protection from environmental assaults.
