STOP Winter Colds with THIS Vitamin
Whether it’s COVID-19 or the common cold… no one wants to get sick this winter.
And the good news is that you don’t have to.
Scientists have identified a vitamin that boosts your body’s internal AND external defenses—protecting you against the worst winter can throw your way.
The only problem?
You’re probably not getting enough.
Maintaining ample levels of vitamin C is crucial this winter flu season—and it’s something you need to make sure you’re doing every day.
You see, your body doesn’t make its own vitamin C, which means you have to get it from external sources like green leafy vegetables and citrus fruit.
Every time your body detects and fights off a pathogen, it draws from the vitamin C you’ve stored up to neutralize the threat.
Unless you’re replacing that C regularly, your levels can get REAL low REAL fast.
In fact, researchers have noted that vitamin C levels take a nosedive in coronavirus patients who are also suffering from sepsis. (This is an inflammatory response that happens in response to the infection.)
It’s still too soon to say exactly how vitamin C could impact COVID-19… but plenty of research has shown why it’s considered an immune system superstar.
On the inside, vitamin C helps boost the production and function of white blood cells that help fight off bacteria and viruses.
On the outside, vitamin C helps enforce your skin’s external defense mechanism by producing collagen, a key protein necessary for wound healing.
Plenty of studies have shown that vitamin C can shorten the severity and duration of the common cold.
They’ve also shown that people with pneumonia tend to have lower levels of vitamin C—but that increasing the body’s levels shortened recovery time.
You should be getting at least 40 mg a day of vitamin C—which you can easily do by incorporating a few key foods in your diet.
These include citrus fruit, peppers, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and potatoes.
