Vitamin C The Protective Vitamin To Take Everyday

I am glad that I survived the three day waiting period for another dialysis and at least I am not much breathless relatively because I am not chasing my breath while in my bed unlike in previous months. But I am still breathless and this condition is far from my previous years and fortunately I am not getting Pneumonia maybe due to my resistance to infections.

Why am I resistant to infections

A long time ago I read about vitamin C having an impact on how fast a wound heals. I noticed that my wound heals faster than when I am not taking vitamin C. So I decided to take vitamin C regularly which is everyday after I woke up in the morning and later after I had eaten my meals.

A good thing happened, I am not having those pesky colds anymore. If only I had discovered it earlier to help ward me off from colds then I wouldn't have suffered from nasal blockage especially in the nights that I would sleep. So far I am not getting colds anymore as well as my parents, siblings, and my sibling's children because I had told them the benefits of vitamin C.

I am an advocate of Vitamin C

Vitamin C not only enhances our immunity, it also make us absorb more iron from the food we eat or drink. It is a few birds with one stone. Taking vitamin C also makes or skin "glow" but for my case my skin doesn't get as dark as other patients but for normal people it makes your skin more fairer and supple and more resistant to UV rays of the sun.

To increase one's absorption of iron-rich foods, it is recommended to consume vitamin C at the same time as iron. When these two nutrients are ingested together, the non-heme iron and vitamin C combine to became more easily absorbed and useful in the body.

Now I am taking 1,000 mg of vitamin C everyday for its therapeutic effects mainly for protecting me from colds and flu and other viruses in my body. I believe that it also protects my heart and keeping my veins clear from blockages. My evidence is my longevity as being 17 years at dialysis is proof enough that I am at least doing a good thing for my body.
