Vitamin C and Nutrition

Vitamin

C is the mother of all

vitamins. All other vitamins need
Vitamin C to work. Vitamin C can
work without the other vitamins.
Vitamin C is necessary for about 300
metabolic functions in the body.
Vitamin
C is a water soluble
antioxidant that is essential for the
life and for maintaining optimal
health

It is necessary for collagen formation

which supports all the tissues in our body
like skin, bones, teeth, etc.
It is also super antioxidant that helps
combat the harmful effects of free radicals
that damage our cells.
It boosts our immune system, helping us
resist allergic reactions and fight bacteria,
virus, and other pathogens.
Vitamin C also improves energy and mood,
sleep, pain control and fights stress and
fatigue.

Non-acidic Vitamin C
Is

a remarkably effective form,

especially for those suffering from
chromic illnesses such as cancer.
This type of Vitamin C enters the
body four times faster than standard
forms and stays in the body tissue
longer.

Sodium Ascorbate
(Acerola C)
Is

alkaline or non-acidic vitamin C,

made from the finest fruits and
vegetables.
Its
100% natural phyto-nutrients
made from Nutrilite Company the
only certified organic farm from USA.

pH Level and Cancer

pH

means Potentiality to Hydrogen.

It measures alkalinity or acidity of
substances.
The pH range is from 0-14, with 7.0
being neutral. Anything above 7.0 is
alkaline, anything below 7.0 is
considered acidic.

 All

healthy humans begin life with the

most of the body fluids and tissues in
a slightly alkaline state (high pH).
Over time in modern society, the
body tissues and fluids often become
acidic (low pH) from the food, drink,
prescription drugs, pollution and
stress, that are absorbed on a daily
basis.
At pH level 6.9, the body starts to
become susceptible to common viral
infections like colds, cough and flu.

Cancer cells thrive inside the body

at pH of 5.5
The

lower the pH the more acidic the

person is, thus, the higher the uric
acid and other toxins in the body, the
more prone to sickness.

When we are Acidic we are

more prone to chronic
disease and cancer

When we are alkaline, we are

able to stay away from
disease and cancer.

Role of Vitamin C in Good Nutrition

Vitamin

C is also known as ascorbic

acid. It is known to be a powerful
antioxidant in the body.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble essential
vitamin that is quickly lost from your
body, so daily intake is vital.

KEY FUNCTIONS OF VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is involved in a large number of
biological processes, making it essential
for health.
It is used to create collagen in the body, a
protein that makes the skin, joints and
bones strong.
Vitamin C plays a role in healing wounds
within the body.
The body utilizes vitamin C in the immune
system by maintaining activity of the
white blood cells.

Food Sources

Black currants, green pepper, mangoes,

oranges, cabbage, tomatoes, and potatoes
Water, cooking, heat and light all reduce
the levels of the vitamin C available in
food sources.
Vegetables begin to lose vitamin C as soon
as they are cut.
Beta carotene is present in orange and
yellow fruits and vegetables and dark,
leafy greens.

Role of Carbohydrates in Good

Nutrition
The

word "carbohydrate" means

"carbon plus water." Plants use
sunlight (photosynthesis) to convert
water and carbon dioxide into
carbohydrates and oxygen.

Key Functions
of Carbohydrates
When your body needs energy, it looks for
carbohydrates first.
If you are not consuming enough
carbohydrates, your body will look for
other sources of energy, such as proteins
found in muscle tissue. Proteins, however,
are not efficient sources of energy for the
body.
Carbohydrates also protect your muscles
and help regulate the amount of sugar
circulating in your blood so that all the
cells get the energy they need.

Food Sources
Carbohydrates come in two forms: simple
and complex. Both are composed of units
of sugar. The difference is how many sugar
units they contain, and how they link
together.
Simple carbohydrates are sugars that give
you instant energy and typically have no
nutritional value. These include sweets,
candy, and soda.
Complex carbohydrates release energy
slowly and often contain fiber. These
"healthier" forms of carbohydrates include
bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, cereals and
legumes.

Role of Protein in Good Nutrition

Protein

is an essential nutrient whose

name comes from the Greek word
"protos," which means "first." To
visualize a molecule of protein, think
of a very long chain with links. These
links represent amino acids, the
building blocks of protein, which are
essential for cell regulation, growth,
and repair.

Key function of Protein

The body uses protein to build new cells,
maintain tissues and regulate cell function.
About half of the protein consumed daily is
converted into enzymes, the specialized
"worker proteins" that regulate the speed
of biological reactions in your body and
permit it to perform functions such as
digesting food and assembling or dividing
molecules to make new cells and chemical
substances. To perform these functions,
enzymes often need specific vitamins and
minerals.

To make all the proteins that the

body needs, 22 different amino acids
are required. Nine are considered to
be essential, meaning they are not
synthesized by the body and must be
obtained from food. Our bodies can
produce the other 13 from fats,
carbohydrates, and other amino
acids. So, these are referred to as
non-essential amino acids.

Usage of Protein

It is possible to consume too much

protein. The amount of protein needed for
good health varies.
An average healthy adult man or woman needs
about 0.8 grams of protein per every kilogram
(2.2 pounds) of body weight.
As you grow older, new proteins are
synthesized less efficiently, and muscle mass
(protein tissue) diminishes while fat content
stays the same or rises. This is why muscle
seems to "turn to fat" in old age.
Infants, adolescents, pregnant women,
individuals with injuries, and athletes may
often require more protein on a daily basis.

Role of Vitamin B in Good Nutrition

Each B vitamin has its own
individual properties and its own
unique biological role to play. As a
group, these nutrients have so much
in common that they are often
thought of as a single entity.

Key Functions of Vitamin B

B vitamins help the body use energy and are

necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates,
proteins and fats.
B vitamins are utilized as coenzymes components
of enzymes which speed up biological and
chemical reactions in the body.
The B vitamins thiamin, riboflavin, niacin,
pantothenic acid, and biotin help mediate the
release of energy from carbohydrates, fats and
proteins.
Vitamin B-6 assists enzymes that metabolize amino
acids.
Folate and vitamin B-12 help cells to multiply, a
function that is particularly important to cells with a
short life span and that are replaced rapidly, such
as red blood cells and the cells lining the
gastrointestinal tract.

Food Sources
Whole

grains* (wheat, oats, and

rye), liver, green leafy vegetables,
meats, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts and
beans.
Most of the B vitamins are removed
when the grains are highly refined
and processed.

Safety Evidence

Vitamin B1 Easily destroyed by alcohol

consumption, caffeine, stress, and smoking.
Pregnant women may benefit from slightly higher
levels of B1.
Vitamin B2 Absorption or availability is
decreased by the use of oral contraceptives, as
well as by regular exercise and alcohol
consumption. Vegetarians and the elderly may
benefit from slightly higher levels of B2.
Nicotinic acid (niacin) People who exercise
regularly, take oral contraceptives, or have a lot of
stress in their lives may need slightly higher
levels.

Vitamin B6 Pregnant or breastfeeding/lactating

women, those who use contraceptives or hormone
replacement therapy, and those who use antibiotics
regularly may need slightly higher levels. B6
supplementation is also suggested for those who
consume alcohol, smoke, and consume protein above
recommended levels.
Folic acid Elderly people and pregnant women may
need higher levels, as well as people who consume
alcohol or have risk factors associated with heart
disease.
Vitamin B12 Strict vegetarians and vegans, along
with pregnant and/or lactating women, and those who
consume alcohol or smoke may need increased levels.
Biotin Pregnant women and those who use antibiotics
on a long-term basis may need increased levels.
Pantothenic acid Elderly people and those who take
oral contraceptives, as well as those who smoke, or
consume alcohol or caffeine may need slightly higher
levels.
