so today i’m going to talk about another reason why people

are deficient in vitamin c that is quite interesting

i’ve done a lot of videos on the diet connection to vitamin c

sauerkraut it has the most vitamin c like 700 milligrams

per cup then you have bell peppers and chili peppers and

leafy greens and berries lemons and limes and then we have sugar

if you’re consuming sugar and vitamin c at the same time even if

you’re eating food with vitamin c the body’s gonna absorb sugar and not

vitamin c thereby creating a deficiency and so the

chemistry of sugar and vitamin c is very very similar

and the body will always take the sugar first so that would be one

cause of the deficiency another cause would be insulin resistance this is very

very common most people have this condition and if

you have it you’re not going to be able to pull vitamin c into the body

and one of the first signs of a vitamin c deficiency is fatigue

too so that’s a it’s a real big one but this last cause of a vitamin c

deficiency is very interesting pollution if you’re living in a city

that’s polluted that’s going to majorly decrease the

amount of vitamin c in your body there’s a significant correlation

between people living in polluted cities and very low vitamin c in their

blood now vitamin c is a very powerful

antioxidant especially for your lungs the lower respiratory organ there’s

higher risk of respiratory effects and increased mortality from respiratory

disease in polluted areas not just from the

pollution but from the pollution creating a

deficiency of vitamin c now that also correlates with other

studies on smokers smokers require a lot more vitamin c

because smoke in general going through the lungs

depletes your vitamin c reserves and because vitamin c is so

necessary for the immune system especially in the lungs you’re going to

have if you have a vitamin c deficiency

deficiency of antibodies that actually help protect you against

pathogens decrease the amount of neutrophils which are like your front

line of defense against microbes decrease b cells which

help make antibodies decrease t cells decrease interferon

which is the weapon against viruses and there’s many other

immune effects as well the city with the worst air pollution in

the united states is san juan king valley

it just so happens that they have one of the highest death rates of lower

respiratory disease probably because the combination of the

pollution and the lower amount of vitamin c

now if we take the top polluted cities in the world

India ranks number one and then we have Pakistan and then China now if you smoke

or you live in a city that’s very polluted i would highly recommend

you start consuming a lot more vitamin c so you can offset

this deficiency that the smoke from pollution or

smoking has created thanks for watching before you go if you have a question
