Dr. G’s Secret for Living Longer
I’ve been a doctor for 35 years, and I’ve seen patients do some crazy things in the name of living longer.
Wacky fad diets… experimenting with hallucinogenic mushrooms… and even taking pregnancy hormones.
I truly have seen it ALL.
But it shouldn’t be this way.
Getting the long, health life you deserve shouldn’t land you in the hospital… or the looney bin.
Fortunately, there’s an easy, safe way to extend your life… without any risk.
And might be in your kitchen right now.
It’s no secret that vitamin C is good for you.
Studies show that it boosts your immune function… protects your memory… and can even help you combat heart disease.
But this latest study takes vitamin C to a whole new level.
According to a 16-year study just published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, vitamin C could actually help you LIVE LONGER.
The study found that folks with the highest blood levels of vitamin C had lowered their risk of dying from any cause by a WHOPPING 25%!
Specifically, they saw:
- A 28% lower risk of dying from stroke
- A 28% lower risk of dying from cancer
- And a 35% lower risk of dying from heart disease.
Even having a “normal” vitamin C level (greater than 28 micromoles per liter) can have impressive health benefits, like a 23% lower risk of dying early, and a 38% lower risk of dying from heart disease.
Any way you slice it, getting enough vitamin C clearly plays a key role in health and longevity.
But there’s a catch.
Your body can’t produce its own vitamin C, which means you have to get it from food sources or through a supplement.
Fortunately, the foods with the highest vitamin C levels include tasty, good-for-you foods like oranges, strawberries, kiwi, broccoli, kale, and spinach.
If you’re worried you’re not getting enough of this wonder nutrient in your diet, you can always pick up a vitamin C supplement at your local pharmacy.
To a brighter day,
Dr. Richard Gerhauser, M.D.
