Main anti-aging vitamin

Do you remember when vitamin C was proclaimed by the best, and, perhaps, and the only cold medicine? The popularity of vitamins B as small source of the useful substances received from juice seems our days the only thing that holds its reputation afloat, especially after the research which showed that vitamin C is almost useless in fight against cold. But do not trust it. The truth is that scientists gained a new impression about vitamin C — and found a set of new ways of how it can help you to remain healthy, to look and feel more young. We will tell you, than actually it can help you.

Prevents wrinkles

You cannot select cosmetic products without persuasive antioxidants on labels today. And it is correct: antioxidants, like vitamin C, help to turn back the clock or, at least, to stop it. In October, 2007 researches showed that people who eat the food rich with vitamin C have less wrinkles and signs of dry mature skin, than at those whose diets contain only a small amount of this vitamin. Vitamin C helps to form collagen which smoothes lines and wrinkles.

Secret in ability of vitamin C to struggle with free radicals, to increase cellular metabolism in our organism. Free radicals attack proteins, fats and DNA — and destroy collagen.

And recent studying of Harvard University showed that the women consuming about 500 mg of vitamin C daily and 600 IU (the international units) of vitamin E (one more antioxidant) can reduce risk of warm blow by 30 percent. Besides, vitamin C improves functioning of endotelialny cages (which cover internal walls of blood vessels), reducing blockage of arteries and reducing blood pressure.

Intravenous administration obespechivt formation of hydrogen peroxide which kills some cancer cells while healthy cells remain safe, the author of researches, Mark Levin, the doctor of medicine, the head of department of molecular and clinical food and the doctor of institute of health says.
