8 Signs of Vitamin C Deficiency.
Hey there! Let’s talk about Signs You’re Low on Vitamin C! Don’t worry, maintaining a balanced diet makes it easy to get enough of this essential nutrient. Did you know that a mere ½ cup of raw red bell pepper or ¾ cup of orange juice can meet your daily needs? But here’s the catch: your body doesn’t make or store vitamin C, so you have to eat it every day. Who’s most at risk? Well, it’s typically those with an overall poor diet, kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis, heavy drinkers, and smokers. Speaking of smokers, they need an extra 35 milligrams of vitamin C per day to help repair the damage caused by free radicals. If you’re among the 7% of Americans not getting enough vitamin C, you’ll start noticing symptoms within 3 months. Here’s what to look out for.

00:00 Welcome back Sunbro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04 Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09 Alright, today we are going to talk about 8 Signs of Vitamin C Deficiency.
00:14 Hey there, let's talk about signs you're low on vitamin C.
00:18 Don't worry, maintaining a balanced diet makes it easy to get enough of this essential nutrient.
00:23 Did you know that a mere 1/2 cup of raw red bell pepper or 3/4 cup of orange juice can meet your
00:29 daily needs? But here's the catch, your body doesn't make or store vitamin C, so you have
00:34 to eat it every day. Who's most at risk? Well, it's typically those with an overall poor diet,
00:40 kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis, heavy drinkers, and smokers. Speaking of smokers,
00:47 they need an extra 35 mg of vitamin C per day to help repair the damage caused by free radicals.
00:52 If you're among the 7% of Americans not getting enough vitamin C, you'll start noticing symptoms
00:58 within 3 months. Here's what to look out for. 1. Slow wound healing. Vitamin C plays a crucial
01:05 role in healing wounds by aiding in collagen production and supporting the immune system.
01:10 2. Bleeding gums, nosebleeds, bruises. Vitamin C keeps blood vessels healthy and helps blood clot,
01:17 essential for oral and overall health. In a study, participants who ate grapefruit for
01:22 two weeks noticed the gums didn't bleed as much. 3. Weight gain. Low vitamin C levels may be linked
01:29 to higher body fat, especially around the belly, and may impact fat metabolism. 4. Dry, wrinkled
01:36 skin. Antioxidant properties of vitamin C protect the skin from free radicals, contributing to
01:41 smoother, softer skin. 5. Tired and cranky. Low vitamin C levels may lead to fatigue and
01:47 irritability, with studies showing improvements in energy levels after supplementation.
01:53 6. Weak immunity. Vitamin C supports immune function, reducing the risk of infections and
01:58 aiding in recovery from illnesses. 7. Vision loss. Adequate vitamin C
02:04 intake may help prevent age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, though more research
02:08 is needed. 8. Scurvy. Though rare today, severe vitamin C deficiency can lead to scurvy,
02:15 characterized by symptoms like loose teeth, joint pain, and brittle bones. Luckily,
02:21 symptoms improve quickly with increased vitamin C intake. Remember, maintaining a healthy diet
02:26 rich in vitamin C-rich foods is key to preventing deficiency and promoting overall health.
