If I Don't Have Enough Vitamin C In My System, What Happens?

By Carolyn Cooper

When you think about vitamin C, chances are good that think of tall, freezing cold glasses of orange juice. While that is certainly tasty, vitamin C is found in many different foods, and it's a lucky thing. Vitamin C is essential for our bodies to function, and falling short of getting what we need can have some very dire consequences. Take some time and really consider whether you get enough vitamin C in your diet and what hints your body might be giving you that you do not.

First, think about where you get vitamin C from. Oranges, and in fact any citrus fruit, will have a high vitamin C content, but just about any fresh fruit or vegetable will have a fair amount of this vitamin in it. For example, some of the other fruits and vegetables that have a high concentration of vitamin C include guava, spinach, persimmons, Brussels sprouts, mangoes and melons. Though animal products will give you significantly less vitamin C per the amount of food consumed, vitamin C can also be found in animal liver. If you are concerned that you are not getting enough, a multivitamin or a supplement can take care of it.

Have you ever felt a cold or flu coming on and managed to resist it by drinking large amounts of juices containing vitamin C? This vitamin can play an important part in making your immune system rally, and when you take it early enough and often enough, you can drastically shorten your time ill. Vitamin C is an important resource for your body, and the results of not getting enough can be very noticeable. For instance, you may find yourself feeling sick, weak or irritable nearly all the time. You may very well be prone to illness and infections. When babies do not get enough vitamin C, their growth is going to be impaired.

If you allow a severe vitamin C deficiency to get out of hand, major complications like scurvy can be the result. These awful symptoms may include severe subcutaneous bleeding, the massive development of bruises, and the loosening of your teeth from the gums. Anemia can also be a side effect from this condition, and you will find yourself more and more susceptible to illness and tiredness.

When you are looking to make sure that you are getting enough vitamin C in your diet, remember that the recommended daily amount for women is around 75 mg a day, with 90 mg as the recommended amount for men. Pregnant women should plan for another 10 mg on top of that, and women who are breastfeeding should tack on another 45 mg. If you are a smoker, you should have at least 100 mg of vitamin C a day.

Promise yourself that you'll take some time to make certain that you are getting the correct amount of vitamin C in your system. Some people find that they need to really ponder their situation, and if they have noticed any of the symptoms above, they'll find that infusing their body with the positive effects of vitamin C can have some truly remarkable results. - 17274

Natural organic foods

By Karol Wariala

Get more from: Salad Cesar. The food available in supermarkets is often packed with chemicals and in the conditions of a rapid health deterioration of the population, it's no wonder that more and more consumers turn to natural organic foods.

Although analyses between conventional and non-conventional foods are relevant, the rule of the common sense is the one that influences the purchase decision. Antibiotics, hormones and pesticides are just a few of the dangers that come from non-organic foods. The non-organic livestock grow in very harsh conditions, while the fruit and vegetables are synthetically stimulated to appeal to the consumer's eye. By contrast, very little human intervention is manifest in the growth of natural organic foods.

Natural organic foods may also present traces of chemical residues, but these usually come from nearby farms that rely on chemicals to grow crops. Furthermore, with natural organic foods there are a lot more nutrients and fewer threats for the health. If we take the example of organic eggs, analyses indicate that besides the lack of hormones and antibiotics, there is less saturated fat, less cholesterol, huge amounts of beta-carotene, superior levels of vitamin A, twice more Omega3 acids than in non-organic eggs. The difference is more than apparent, not to mention that the quality of the protein is significant too.

The word has traveled far about the positive aspects of natural organic foods, and since direct access to organic retails is not available on all geographic locations, it is good to know that many of the products can be now ordered online from the closest source. Thus, natural organic foods will sooner be available in farm markets than in supermarkets. Moreover, in case you travel to the country side, the chances to find producers of natural organic foods is a lot higher.

Make a bit of research and see where you find them and whether you can make some supplies.

The only disadvantage of natural organic foods is their price, because they are between 10% and 40% more expensive than non-organic foods. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, take a look at the products and you'll see the difference right away: there will be no flawless apples or strawberries, but various fruit sizes, some better than others. The same thing stays valid for meat, but you will only be able to tell which is which by shopping from the special organic sectors in markets or supermarkets. - 17274

Should I Cleanse My Colon?

By Alissa Lee

A healthy colon is essential to good health, which makes colon cleansing, parasite cleansing, and detoxing a must. Everything we eat ends up in our bowels as toxins. As these toxins build up, we end up with various diseases, such as being overweight, constipation and candida.

You may ask yourself, "Why should I try a colon cleanse?" One word...Toxins.

Are you suffering from some sort of ailment, constipation, acne, candida, brain fog, or sluggishness? If you are, you are most likely feeling this due to a problem with your colon.

All of our organs are affected directly or indirectly by our colon. When our colon is clogged up the liver is not able to function properly. If our liver is not functioning properly this leads to kidney problems. To effectively prevent, or cure these symptoms, a colon cleanse process is highly recommended.

Most of our colons are filled with mucoid plaque and toxins. We experience constipation because our colon is clogged. How did we reach this state? Bad diets, poor lifestyle choices, and poor living conditions contributed to this great downfall.

Most Americans diet consists of too much protein. Although protein is necessary and completely healthy, too much can lead to over-acidity. If your body contains too much acid, it can damage your colon and deplete the necessary minerals and electrolytes from your body. This disables the colon to attack harmful bacteria, and toxins.

Many people today overeat. Eating too much can not only make us gain weight, but it can also have long term effects on our body. We should eat approximately one handful of food per meal. If we overeat, this makes our colon work harder, which also leads to overuse of enzymes.

Our environment is also another major cause for an unhealthy colon. Unless you live with the Eskimos, you probably are subjected to pollution, secondary smoking, harmful chemicals, pesticides, etc. every single day. Our immune system has to work overtime to rid our body of these nasty chemicals. This weakening of the immune system leads to a weakening of the colon as well.

Colon cleansing is a safe, alternative method to treat many of our symptoms and problems. It's not just for people with constipation, but for anyone who wishes to feel better, and strengthen their inner organs. Cleansing is necessary to rid our body of toxins that accumulate as a result of an unhealthy diet, environmental pollution and chemicals, and a constant use of antibiotics.

Bowel cleansing not only cleanses your colon, but it indirectly cleans your small intestines, large intestines, and stomach as well. Trying a colon cleanse regiment can help anyone, even if you are not suffering from constipation.

All of us are subjected to unhealthy toxins day in and day out. These toxins come from an unhealthy diet, the environment (such as pesticides or pollution), stress, overeating or under-eating, or malnourishment. These toxins all place a burden on our colon and make it work harder than necessary. Colon cleansing can remove these toxins and make our colon work more efficiently. - 17274

Meet Mr. Free Radical

By Dr. Lorna Mistranski

The human body is comprised of various kinds of cells and by looking at the body from this perspective is the best way to comprehend what free radicals are.

The chemical bond of a cell is comprised of various types of molecules that are held together with one or more atom.

The composition of an atom is: nucleus, proton, and electrons where the sum of the protons determines the total amount of electrons that will be around the atom.

The primary role of electrons is for chemical reactions that occur inside the atom and the substance that holds the atoms together to form molecules. Electrons revolve around the atom in one or more shells

When the innermost shell has two electrons, it is considered full. When the second shell is full with electrons the process starts all over again.

The number of electrons in an atom's outer shell id the most important structural characteristic.

An atom ideally seeks to have a full outer shell because is what is called maximum stabilty. an atom will seek this state in the following ways:

Adding or dropping electrons that will either fill or empty the atom's shell

Bonding with other atoms to share electrons to complete the outer shell

The most common way atoms achieve stability is with sharing electrons with other atoms. In this way the atom is able to achieve maximum stability.

Frequently, the bonds remain in tact so that the atoms do not become unpaired. However, when this does occur the highly unstable free radicals are formed and they react quickly to obtain their own stability.

Free radicals like to attack by locating the closest cell that has maximum stability and begins to steal electrons. Eventually these attacked molecules become free radicals themselves. The process will continue until eventually cellular damage occurs.

Free radicals will frequently arrive during metabolism and sometimes the body will even produce them to fight off viruses and bacteria. Free radicals also come from pollution such as radiation, cigarette smoke, and pesticides.

Most of the time the body is able to fight off free radicals, but if antioxidants are unavailable or if there are too many free radicals, cellular damage can occur. As you get older free radical damage gets more progressive. - 17274

Organic meat

By Karol Wariala

Co-submitted by: Mustard Dressing. The consume of organic meats is a very healthy choice for people who care about their personal well being and for the environment. The difference from industrial farms is that organic livestock gets grown in a significantly higher ethical manner, without causing deforestation and an incredible annual consume of grains. Here are some of the advantages that come with organic meats.

No antibiotics, hormones or other artificial drugs are allowed for animals grown organically. Moreover, the foods such animals are fed on cannot be modified genetically according to the legal regulations. Organic meats therefore bring purer nutrients because of the food and the treatment that animals receive in farms. Hence, organic meats are a lot safer as compared to the non-organic products.

For instance, studies indicate that the mad cow disease is closely connected with bovines being fed on the ground remains of their same species. The disease affects humans when exposed to little cooked contaminated meat, and the symptoms appear after a pretty long period of time but with the same intense and devastating impact. Organic meats result from animals that are fed naturally and thus remain safe in terms of contamination.

The treatment of the animals is also important for the quality of organic foods. In factory farms, animals are confined to very small pens lacking the possibility to move more than just a few feet away during their entire life. Animals grown on organic farms can graze and range one special land areas without any hindrance whatsoever.

This implies that the organic meats produced on such farms have all the positive properties resulting from a natural fresh diet.

By eating organic meats you also encourage the environment protection and the reduction of pollution resulting from manure. Industrial farms are often characterized as very large polluting agents; on the other hand, small farms use the manure to fertilize the soil and thus enter it in a natural circuit that is totally harmless.

You can buy all sorts of organic meats form organic stores and local farms. The diversity is the same as with conventional food: veal, beef, chicken, pork and lamb. With organic meats you won't have the problem of being exposed to chemical residues that are often encountered with regular meats. A good health seems closely connected with an organic diet! - 17274

Does Milk Cause Cellulite?

By El Bilson

I definitely enjoy my diary products, but I have often wondered " does milk cause cellulite? Is it possible to improve the appearance of your skin simply by making a dietary change?

Have you ever thought about the connection between the foods we eat and the appearance of our skin? More specifically have you wondered " does milk cause cellulite? Some people feel that milk does indeed lead to this skin disorder. While some of us would not enjoy giving up our daily dairy products, others might find this to be worth a shot if it means no more cellulite!

One of the biggest controversies surrounding milk is the amount of hormones often found in it. Hormones given to the cows to enable them to produce more milk are often passed on into the milk we drink. Some people feel that these extra hormones can do damage to our bodies when we regularly consume them.

Since cellulite responds to hormonal changes with in the body, it would make sense that more hormones in the body would trigger an increase in the amount of cellulite. Some studies have shown that a reduction of cellulite was found in women who stopped using diary products. It took about 6 to 12 months for these women to notice a difference in their skin.

For many women who are desperate to get rid of their cellulite and have tried many different products in the past with no success, a simple diet change may be the solution they are looking for. This can be hard to accomplish however. Diary products are found in many foods we eat " just try eating something that doesnt contain milk or cheese!

A simple solution to regular cows milk is to use goats milk. Goats milk doesnt usually have the hormones found in normal cows milk. Be careful with yogurt too as yogurt is made from cow's milk.

Other people may feel that there is no real answer to the question does milk cause cellulite. Many feel that this topic has not been studied extensively and therefore no scientific conclusion can be drawn. While this point is valid, it should not be used to dissuade those who are interested in eliminating diary from their diets in order to obtain better health.

Many women are wondering if milk products are the source of some of their other health problems as well. These can include things such as digestive issues, weight gain and acne. Going off diary products may be helpful for many a variety of reasons, not just cellulite reduction.

In conclusion, only you can decide if milk really does effect your cellulite. If you decide to stay away from diary products, make sure you give yourself enough time to see results. A week or so probably will not cut it as our bodies can be slow to change. You will most likely need to dedicate 6 months to a year towards this goal. While after this amount of time you may not find any results with your cellulite, you may notice that you do not crave or tolerate milk products any longer. - 17274
