Vitamin C intake cuts early death risk
High intake of fruits and vegetables packed with vitamin C will substantially cut the heart attack and early death risk, says a study. The researchers examined 100,000 Danish people\'s intake of fruit and vegetables as well as their DNA. \"We can see that those with the highest intake of fruit and vegetables have a 15 percent lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and a 20 percent lower risk of early death,\" said Camilla Kobylecki,
High intake of fruits and vegetables packed with vitamin C will substantially cut the heart attack and early death risk, says a study. The researchers examined 100,000 Danish people's intake of fruit and vegetables as well as their DNA. "We can see that those with the highest intake of fruit and vegetables have a 15 percent lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and a 20 percent lower risk of early death," said Camilla Kobylecki, medical doctor at the department of clinical biochemistry at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital in Denmark.
Vitamin C helps build connective tissue which supports and connects different types of tissues and organs in the body. It is also a potent antioxidant which protects cells and biological molecules from the damage which causes many diseases, including cardiovascular disease.
The human body is not able to produce vitamin C, which means that we must get the vitamin from our diet, said the study that appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "Eating a lot of fruit and vegetables is a natural way of increasing vitamin C blood levels. You can get vitamin C supplements but it is a good idea to get your vitamin C by eating a healthy diet," added Boerge Nordestgaard from University of Copenhagen.
