Give Your Immunity a Boost with Vitamin C

One of the things that has gained a lot of attention throughout the pandemic is the need for people to boost their immune systems. While this can easily be done by eating a balanced diet, getting ample exercise, and enough sleep every night, active supplementation also plays a part in the boosting process, particularly if the supplement in question is Vitamin C.

 

Why is Vitamin C important for Immunity?

 

Ingesting 500 to 1,000mg of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid/calcium ascorbate) is a great way to kick your immune system into action.

 

Vitamin C is integral to the body’s production of lymphocytes – white blood cells that help fight off infections. The vitamin also optimizes the performance of these white blood cells and protects them from being damaged by free radicals floating through your blood stream.

 

Not only does Vitamin C protect you on the inside, but its antioxidant properties also help protect you from the outside. It helps reinforce your skin’s protective barrier and speeds up the healing of minor wounds.

 

Where Can You Get the Most Vitamin C?

 

Vitamin C occurs in nature, so it’s easy to get it from food. Be sure to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day to bring an ample supply of the vitamin into your body. Citrus fruit – lemons, limes, and oranges, in particular – are among the most accessible natural sources of this nutrient, and you can enjoy them fresh for dessert, an addition to salads, and as freshly-squeezed juice.

Supplements are also a good source, but not all supplements are made equal. To be sure, check if your Vitamin C tablets have at least 500mg of the nutrient. Enhancements such as zinc and Vitamin E can boost the benefits of the nutrient even further.

 

Immunity Beyond Supplementation

 

But even with supplements, it’s best to live a healthy lifestyle if you want to keep your immune system in tip-top shape. Also, consider the regenerative properties of Far Infrared Ray (FIR) therapy through a good 40 minutes in the Vital Dome.

 

 

The accelerated cellular regeneration that a Dome session sets into motion enables the body to build further resistance against infection, decreases internal inflammation, and speeds up the healing of wounds and other injuries.
