If you are a health watcher, you should know that your body does not manufacture vitamin C, yet we desperately need it. Vitamin C is important for many functions, especially for collagen formation. Collagen is the tissue that holds joints and bones together and keeps bones and joints from rubbing together, causing pain. Many nutritionists refer to vitamin C as the cement of the body. We have all heard of scurvy. A dreaded disease that allows your body to literally fall apart when you are deficient in vitamin C. Being bruised easily is a symptom of low vitamin C. This disease (scurvy) affected sailors of the British Royal Navy during the 1700’s until it was discovered that by giving a lime ration to each sailor every day they could prevent this serious disease. A deficiency of Vitamin C gives many signals before scurvy develops. Ill add more to this story in the next posting.
