\"VitaminWe are more susceptible to colds and flu when the weather grows cold.\u00a0 Your grandmother would say that it is because you don\u2019t wear your coat outside whereas some believe that vitamin C in larger doses during the winter months especially can help combat colds, but, does it really help?It has always been a shared belief that the common cold can be thwarted by taking vitamin C.\u00a0 At the first sign of a cold, taking vitamin C supplements will lessen the symptoms and the duration of the cold.\u00a0 If taken before a cold can set in, often it won\u2019t develop at all.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately research has shown this to be wishful thinking.\u00a0 Vitamin C has no more of a bearing on the common cold than wearing your coat all the time.\u00a0 Much to our surprise, colds still attack our bodies in spite of popping a few vitamin C lozenges.<\/p>\n

The one group of people the vitamin C did help in the way of colds were those whose body underwent stresses like well-conditioned athletes who over exert themselves during workouts.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C may not have anything positive to do with fighting colds but it does have some remarkable properties that are worth mentioning.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need to overdo our consumption of vitamin C but getting the recommended daily allowance will bring with it some amazing things.<\/p>\n

First of all, vitamin C is an antioxidant.\u00a0\u00a0Antioxidants<\/a>\u00a0are hot right now because of their disease fighting properties.\u00a0 Antioxidants fight the damage done to our internal organs by free radicals.\u00a0 Free radicals are by products of cellular reproduction that are unstable in their current form and try to steal what they need from the organs of the body.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C helps prevent diseases like cancer and\u00a0diabetes<\/a>.\u00a0 It also fights the signs of aging.\u00a0 Vitamin C is a component of many skin renewal creams and lotions on the market.<\/p>\n

This nutrient repairs the skin and other organs of the body that sustain damage from daily wear and tear along with the results of stress on the body.\u00a0 It builds up and strengthens the tissues of the body.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C can be taken as a supplement but it is better received from the foods we eat.\u00a0 Orange juice is the first thing that springs to mind when we think of getting our daily allowance of Vitamin C.\u00a0 Other citrus fruits also contain vitamin C, like strawberries.\u00a0 Juices often contain too much sugar.\u00a0 Eating vitamin C in actual fruit form is better tasting and better for you.<\/p>\n

Have you had your vitamin C today?\u00a0 It may not prevent the common cold from attacking you this winter but it does prevent other things.\u00a0 Your body will look and feel better with a diet completed by vitamin C.<\/p>\n
