Sihaiwang: as for vitamin C, it's the most popular vitamin, but not many people know its role in the human body. Vitamin C is the most in demand. It's a white and sour substance with the effect of preventing and curing bad blood stasis, also known as pit bad blood acidity. So what are the benefits of vitamin C? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian~
What are the benefits of vitamin C
1. Improve immunity
That's why taking vitamin C when you have a cold can help you recover. In the flu season, you can also take vitamin C to prevent virus infection.
2. Prevention of bad blood
When we can't eat fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time, vitamin C in our body will be deficient, and symptoms such as mucosal bleeding and gingival bleeding will appear, which is scurvy. In some special cases, for example, if there is no way to eat fresh vegetables or fruits during long-term travel to the plateau cold zone, or if there is no way to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, you need to supplement vitamins.
(before the discovery of vitamin C, ship doctors found that scurvy patients could be treated by orange juice, because oranges are rich in vitamin C)
3. Auxiliary anti allergy
4. Resist oxidation, keep vitality and keep appearance
Although there are so many benefits of vitamin C, as long as I eat a normal diet and eat enough vegetables and fruits every day, it can meet our needs. There is no need to supplement it with vitamin C tablets.
Taking too much vitamin C for a long time is also harmful
1. If you take too much vitamin C for a long time, once you stop taking it one day, it is easy to lead to vitamin deficiency after withdrawal. Thus, gum bleeding and other symptoms appear
2. If you take too much vitamin C for a long time, it is easy to form urinary calculus
3. Taking too much vitamin C for a long time can also cause diarrhea, gastrointestinal reactions and other adverse reactions
Which of the following should use vitamin C carefully
1. Pregnant and lactating women
Vitamin C can pass through placenta and milk. Therefore, pregnant women and lactating women should be careful when taking vitamin C, and pay attention to the dosage to avoid excessive vitamin C deficiency in the fetus and newborn!
2. Gout patients should be careful to use, which can aggravate the disease
3. Oxalate deposition and urate should be used with caution in patients with kidney stones, which can promote the formation of stones
4. The patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency should be careful, that is, we often call broad bean disease, which is more common in Guangdong.
5. Hemophilia and thalassemia patients should be careful
In fact, if you don't have special circumstances (such as a cold, such as the recent flu epidemic, such as the recent inability to eat vegetables and fruits), then you don't need to take medicine to supplement vitamins. As long as we eat more vegetables and fruits every day, then our body's vitamin C is completely enough!
