What is Vitamin C?
 

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development.

Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means you need a continuous supply of such vitamins in your diet.

What is vitamin C good for?

This vitamin also known as ascorbic acid regulates our body and protects it from infections.  The most commonly known benefit is to help our immune system.  Vitamin C strengthens our immune system and allows us to recover from colds quickly.  It also prevents the progression of the cold into a more severe disease like pneumonia.  Scientific studies have proven that Vitamin C reduces many symptoms of colds such as runny noses, coughing, and sore throats.

There are quite a few other Vitamin C benefits too. Vitamin C helps ensure that your blood vessels dilate in a safe manner. This prevents hypertension from occurring.

Another aspect of Vitamin C benefits are its effects on our eyes.  Our eyes are often exposed to UV rays from the sun which is dangerous.  These UV rays often create free radicals in our eyes that can cause eye damage and create cataracts.  However, Vitamin C is an antioxidant which keeps our eyes healthy by counteracting the free radicals.  Daily Vitamin C consumption will ensure that your eyes stay healthy for a long time.

Vitamin C is also a vital nutrient for asthma patients.  Asthma patients often need Vitamin C in larger doses because it acts as an antioxidant in their lungs and air pipes.  This is one of the most underrated Vitamin C benefits.
