Health - This Vitamin Prevents Heart Disease AND Cancer

This Vitamin Prevents Heart Disease AND Cancer
 
 
  
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 Brescia

PPS: 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 recipes on my family. It's all about relearning what is good and what is 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!
