I'm
sure this won't be a revelation to you if I were to say that most
people feel that vitamins are good for us.
Duh,
Sherry, no kidding.
It's
also no great stretch to say we pretty much know the main ways each vitamin
helps. For instance, most people would probably say:
Vitamin
A? Good for your eyes
Vitamin B? Helps with energy
Vitamin D? Builds strong bones
...and
so on.
But
the average person's understanding of what vitamins do is minimal.
They
do FAR more than you think. When you realize all the different functions
they serve, it's, well, almost shocking.
And
one vitamin that REALLY packs a punch is Vitamin C.
Vitamin C -- more than cold
prevention
If
you're like most people, when you read "Vitamin C" you thought
"cold prevention."
That's
true. Vitamin C does help boost your immune system which makes you more
resistant to viruses and infections, and can help reduce the length and
severity of your cold if you do get sick.
But
that's just a start.
How
about it also helps prevent the 2 TOP KILLERS in the US?
That's
right. Vitamin C helps prevent both heart disease AND cancer!
The rest of the iceberg
Here's a more complete list
of all the ways Vitamin C can help you:
* Vitamin C protects against
CANCER by shielding your DNA from free radical damage.
* It works together with
Vitamin E to prevent HEART DISEASE.
* Vitamin C is the fountain of
youth for your SKIN. It's vital for the production of COLLAGEN and helps
keep your skin youthful and supple.
* It protects sperm from FREE
RADICAL damage, which is important to couples who are trying to conceive.
* Vitamin C helps regenerate
Vitamin E in your body, beefing up your antioxidant "army."
* It protects against
CATARACTS, a leading cause of vision problems among the elderly.
* Vitamin C is important for
DIABETICS, whose cells may absorb less of it while glucose is being
absorbed.
Whew!
That's a pretty good vitamin.
Too much or too little?
Here's
a little history for you:
Way
back when, many sailors who ate preserved meals devoid of Vitamin C on long
sea voyages developed scurvy--a disease characterized by rotted gums, tooth
loss, bruising, swollen legs, aches and pains--and many died from it.
But
once the Vitamin C--scurvy connection was made, sailors began taking along
oranges, lemons and limes to ensure their bodies' needs were met...hence
the expression "Limeys" for sailors.
Scurvy
is rare today, but people who aren't getting enough Vitamin C can have
these symptoms:
- Poor resistance to
infection
- Very slow wound healing
- Easy bruising
- Weakness and fatigue
- Loss of appetite
Plus,
a more serious deficiency can come out as frequent nosebleeds, sore and
bleeding gums, anemia, joint tenderness, bone- brittleness and in
breastfeeding women, decreased lactation. Oh, and reduced growth in
children.
Now,
the flip side (getting too much) is no concern.
Since
Vitamin C isn't really stored in your body, excess amounts typically flow
out in your urine. At no dose has Vitamin C ever been proven toxic. Supplemental
doses at up to 100,000 mg a day and even more have shown no ill
effects whatsoever. Heck, even water can't claim that, since water IS toxic
to the body at very high levels.
Get it AND keep it
The
best, most usable form of ANY nutrient is one that you get from your diet
(versus a supplement). Nutrients that occur naturally in food are most
easily assimilated and taken in by your body, plus you get the added
benefit of the other components of the food like fiber, water, etc.
To
ensure that you're reaping the many benefits of Vitamin C, here are some
excellent food sources:
- Citrus fruits (grapefruit,
oranges, lemons and limes)
- Cantaloupes
- Strawberries
- Cranberries
- Red and green bell peppers
- Potatoes
- Broccoli
- Brussels sprouts
- Tomatoes
- Asparagus
- Parsley
- Cabbage
- Sprouts
- Papayas
- Kale
- Mustard greens
Now,
the other half of the story is actually KEEPING the Vitamin C -- in other
words, absorbing it so your body can use it.
And
that, my friend, is directly dependent on how efficient your digestion is.
Because
you can eat all the Vitamin C-rich foods in the world, but if your
digestion is poor and your body is overrun with acid wastes, the Vitamin C
will sail on out of you and into your toilet bowl.
The
same holds true if you supplement. If your digestion is a problem, pills
will not be your saving grace, you limey.
Efficient digestion--a
matter of what goes in
The
single most powerful factor affecting your digestion is what you put in
your mouth -- your FOOD.
If
you eat meals that are difficult for your body to break down, you're
hurting yourself in these 3 ways:
- Poor digestion creates
acid waste buildup in your body, which makes is next to impossible for you
to absorb nutrients you need.
- Poor digestion creates an
attractive environment for the harmful bacteria in your gut, and they can
overcome the helpful ones. This can make your immune system function
practically non-existent.
- Poor digestion also
encourages an acidic pH. When your body is in a state of acidity, it can't
effectively heal itself or fight illnesses.
Now,
if having a healthy diet that encourages good digestion sounds about as
interesting to you as eating shredded cardboard, you're in luck. Because
the Great Taste No Pain
system will prove you wrong!
The
Great Taste No Pain
manuals will teach you how to structure delicious, easy to digest meals
featuring real foods that not only taste good but ensure that you absorb
all the Vitamin C you can.
And
the recipe book is packed with 112 scrumptious recipes,
many of which feature natural dietary sources of Vitamin C, as well as the
other essential nutrients.
Help the little guys to help
your Vitamin C absorption
If
you've had a long history of less-than-stellar digestion (be honest), not
only are you looking at poor nutrient absorption (and deficiency issues),
but the friendly bacteria in your gut are likely waving the white flag and
yelling, "Help!"
And
since your beneficial
gut flora also help keep the digestion process smooth, it's vital that
you make sure your supply high.
In
addition to foods that nourish the good guys
(like fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains) supplementation with a potent probiotic
formula is a must for most people.
Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula is up to the task.
Super Shield
can give your body the flora boost it needs to help keep your immune system
strong and your digestion humming.
Help
your body get and keep that much-needed Vitamin C and ALL of Nature's
amazing nutrients.
If
you do, your body will thank you in countless ways.
That's
a fact.
To
your health,
Sherry

Dallas is off Nexium and looking younger every day!
Hi Sherry:
I have been on Great Taste No Pain for
nearly a week, and OMG the day long sharp pains in my stomach stopped
almost immediately!
I am now trying out your

going to hurt, but your book is certainly easy to understand and read.
I no longer take Nexium, which
I was needing daily to calm my tummy.
I have also been getting
comments from work mates at how much better and younger I look - it's only
been a week!
Thanks heaps Sherry!
