(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 04, 2015 ) Chattanooga, TN -- Yvonne Hitchcock, a director of Santulana, realizes that the way to health is a balance between exercise, relaxation and eating foods which are full of minerals and vitamins, including vitamin C. "So many people are passionate when it comes to exercising. They run every other day; do Pilates on their exercise ball twice a week, and find time for meditation, but they neglect to fuel their bodies properly."
Vitamin C is essential for health, however the human body does not produce it so it has to be found in foods or supplements. Fresh fruits, such as citrus, berries, kiwi and pawpaw, and vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower and dark, leafy greens are full of vitamin C.
It is important that these fruits and vegetables are eaten when fresh and preferably raw. The older the food is, the less vitamin C it will contain. The same applies to freezing and cooking, both deplete the vitamin content in the food.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which helps fight off the free radicals which attack the body causing diseases such as cancer. Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling was adamant that very large doses of vitamin C could combat the common cold and help destroy cancerous cells. Pauling's controversial research was initially received with skepticism but in recent years health professionals have been paying more attention to the positive effects of vitamin C on the human body.
People who eat unhealthy foods, smoke or drink alcohol will most likely be deficient in vitamin C. What little vitamin C there is in the body, will be rapidly used up fighting the toxins which are being introduced through food, smoke or alcohol. Balance is key and eating fresh fruit and vegetables daily will help replenish the vitamin stocks.
