Casefile 10: Lack of Vitamin C = DEATH

"What can Vitamin C deficiency lead to?"

"SCURVY!"

That's the typical answer we always get. However, that's not all. The lack of Vitamin C is fatal. Hence we need to know the symptoms, prevent and cure the lack of Vitamin C quickly!

Symptoms

1. Delayed healing of wounds.
Vitamin C contains collagen which holds the cells together and thus speeds up the healing of wounds. Without it, wounds will not be able to heal as quickly.

2. Bloody urine
Vitamin C also plays a vital part in all glands and organs in the body e.g. blood vessels. A lack of Vitamin C can cause fragile blood vessels. These blood vessels break easily and thus lead to bleeding. This is why a mild lack of Vitamin C can lead to blood in the urine. Also, linking to the previous point, because wounds cannot heal quickly, prolonged deficiency of Vitamin C can cause a minor injury e.g. an ulcer to aggravate and lead to profuse bleeding!! THIS CAN BE FATAL.

3. Weak immune system
Vitamin C is known as the "antibiotic vitamin". It is vital for us to stay healthy. A person with low level of Vitamin C in the blood or urine is prone to infectious diseases e.g. common colds. Hence this can be treated by a large intake of Vitamin C! As easy as ABC. :)

4. Stress!!!
Hey, Inspector Zhao, stress is not unrelated to deficiency diseases! Lack of Vitamin C causes stress and vice versa!

5. Cancer
Stress causes a depletion of vitamin C. As vitamin C is a vital form of antibody, its deficiency will allow cancer growth in cancer patients Cancer patients especially children with leukemia, show symptoms of bleeding gums, bruising, and profuse bleeding, due to Vitamin C deficiency. Hence vitamin C dosage can prevent cancer growth and in some cases even results in its regression.

6. Deformed babies

7. Ugly smile!
Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron and thus ensures healthy gums, bones and teeth, and fresh complexion. Without Vitamin C, your smile will look like this:

Scary arh? So start stuffing yourselves with citrus fruits, e.g. guavas, lemones, limes, oranges, papayas and POTATOES (potato chips excluded. :p)!

Sticking more to the vegetables is a good idea for any weight loss plan. Since
beet skins are very bitter, it iss wise to peel beets before juicing.
The variety keeps juicing fresh and aintains yyour nutritional intake.
