Are you taking vitamin C? Did you know some of the "benefits of vitamin C may include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling." This is according to Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD from WebMD.
For real results, we need 500 milligrams per day. And according to my doctor, taking 1,200 milligrams a day at the first sign of a cold, then 500 each day after that can help a cold go away much quicker and with less complications, such as sinus infection. So take your suppliments along with eating foods high in vitamin C to help this cold season.
