Are you getting enough vitamin C?
Did you know that raw vegetables such as bell peppers, cabbage, and broccoli contain twice as much vitamin C as kiwis, lemons, strawberries or oranges, which are considered to be particularly rich in vitamin C?
Did you also know that cereals (including whole grains) and all products made from them, e.g. bread, pasta, rice, and pastries do not contain vitamin C?
So anyone who mainly eats bread and other cereal products belongs to the part of the population who does not get enough vitamin C.
Only if you eat five servings of (raw) fruits and vegetables a day can you get enough vitamin C. Vitamin researchers recommend taking vitamin C capsules as a dietary supplement for all those who cannot follow such a diet.
How much vitamin C do you need?
Basically, you can say: The worse the diet and the higher the stress, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and environmental toxins, the higher the need for vitamin C. Many nutritional scientists today recommend a minimum daily intake of 200-400 mg of vitamin C.
Who is vitamin C particularly important for?
- People under stress
- For smokers
- For bleeding gums
- For people who like to drink alcohol
- Pregnant women
- All old people
- For people with poor nutrition
- Women who take the pill
- People who are exposed to pollutants
- People living in cities
- Overweight people
- During a diet
In these risk groups, the vitamin C requirement can increase to 1000 mg or more per day.
Smokers need more vitamin C
Each cigarette consumes 30mg of valuable vitamin C to protect the body from the harmful substances it contains. It is the most important antidote for all smokers.
As an externally visible sign of vitamin C deficiency, smokers get crow's feet and wrinkles prematurely, since there is not enough vitamin C to keep the skin firm.
Just a few puffs from a cigarette constrict the blood vessels by up to 40%. So it is hardly surprising that many more smokers become impotent than non-smokers.
Vitamin C and the heart
Dr. Linus Pauling points out the following in his book 'The Vitamin Program': 'Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
I am convinced that the number of deaths caused by these diseases at all ages could be significantly reduced by the correct use of vitamin C and other nutrients.
Fortunately, vitamin C is an orthomolecular vital substance that is normally found in the human body and has extremely low toxicity.
If you want to take vitamin C to improve your state of health in the best way possible and to protect yourself against heart diseases, you do not need a prescription or the approval of the medical establishment.
The non-professional person's knowledge and judgment could be superior to that of doctors in this regard.'
How much vitamin C is too much?
The two-time Nobel laureate Dr. Linus Pauling was considered the best-known vitamin C expert. Until he died at the old age of 93, he took 18,000 mg of vitamin C daily. As a scientist, he spent many years of his life dealing with this vital substance.
He was convinced that it could significantly improve the quality of life and extend life for years. Vitamin C is safe even in extremely high doses. Some people may experience loose stool or diarrhea at a dose of over 1,000 mg per day.
However, these symptoms are completely harmless and disappear as soon as the dose is reduced. Vitamin C is repeatedly associated with the formation of kidney stones. It is true that too much of the vitamin is excreted through the kidneys. You certainly won't get kidney stones. On the contrary: it also protects the kidneys..
