Vitamin C is an important nutrient that most other mammals are able to produce. When there is trouble in the body, those mammals begin to produce mega-doses of vitamin C and end the trouble immediately. These mammals don’t get sick as easily as people do. Guinea pigs are one of the other few mammals that don’t produce their own vitamin C. Thus, guinea pigs are used for research because we can easily make them sick with the same things that make us sick. It is easy to conclude from this that vitamin C is an extremely important nutrient.
We will delve into how identifying and correcting your vitamin C deficiency can:
– help prevent colds and the flu.
– help reduce your cholesterol levels.
– help prevent blocked arteries.
– prevent bruising on your arms, legs and etc.
– prevent black eyes.
– prevent mini strokes.
Learn about foods like mangoes and cantaloupes that contain as much as 3 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange!

Researchers tracked more than 194,000 people for over eight years. They found that drinking red and white wine at least once a day reduced the risk of kidney stones by 31%-33%. They also found that drinking beer at least once a day reduced the risk of kidney stones by 41%. Though less significant, drinking coffee, tea and orange juice at least once a day was found to also lower the risk of kidney stones.
Good healthy foods don’t come with side effects. (Of course, if your body is damaged in some way you may experience problems with certain foods, but then the problem is with your body and not a side effect of the food.) So side effects should make you think “MEDICINE/HERBS” that override the body’s programming with a price to pay for doing so. Side effects should also make you think about supplements that are not concentrated food but chemicals made in a laboratory that cause problems in your body. Try to NEVER take such things. If you have to, then do so apologizing to the creator for interfering with and overriding the proper functioning of your design.

The Many Benefits of Water:
According to Nutrition Action, diabetic retinopathy occurs when diabetes causes damage to the blood vessels in the back of the eyes. When these damaged and scarred blood vessels can no longer deliver blood to the eyes, new ones develop. These new blood vessels often break easily leading to excessive bleeding into the eyes and, eventually, loss of eye sight.
Researchers monitored 3,000 overweight people with pre-diabetes—that is, their blood sugar levels were above normal, but not high enough to be diabetic. People who changed their eating habits and began exercising enough to lose at least 10 percent of their body weight within six months of being diagnosed with pre-diabetes had an 85 percent lower risk of being diagnosed with diabetes over the next three years than those who lost no weight.

Why should you breathe through your nose and not your mouth?
WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE A DEEP BREATH? Because it empties your lungs completely. This is one of the main ways your body releases unwanted acid to stay neutral and fully armed to defend you and keep you healthy. It is also necessary to get enough oxygen when running long distances.
