hey guys in this video we’re gonna talk

about something called subclinical

scurvy now what does scurvy mean scurvy

is a severe vitamin C deficiency ok

subclinical is something that doesn’t

show up on a blood test or a usual test

so it might be that you’re kind of

slowly developing a vitamin C deficiency

you’re not quite a full-blown but it’s

just before that phase kind of like a

pre-diabetes type situation in another

word for that is called latent scurvy

where you’re have deficiencies but it

doesn’t show up yet okay because you

just don’t end up one day with a scurvy

it kind of slowly starts to happen and a

lot of people are deficient in vitamin C

in fact one out of five men are

deficient in vitamin C one out of nine

women are deficient in vitamin C one

person might have it in there like gums

is bleeding gums another person could

have it in their muscles as a weak

inflamed muscle where someone else could

have it in the arteries of the heart

okay so it could be different for

different people so that’s why sometimes

it’s hard to have this you know perfect

diagnosis of vitamin C deficiency and go

oh you have these three things that you

have it okay because it could be

actually have a wide range of things so

I wanted to kind of give you an overview

kind of just a general idea of what

could occur if you’re starting to become

deficient in vitamin C and maybe you’re

not a full-blown scurvy case but you

have some of the symptoms okay here

you’re some of the symptoms fatigue you

feel weak irritable leg pain

inflammation achy joints muscles I mean

this is very very common now instead of

going out there and getting very

expensive tests to figure this out all

you have to do is start consuming foods

high in vitamin C and see if you get

better see if these things clear right

up and you’re probably going to find

they do that’s actually the easiest

thing to do but the tissue in your body

that is most susceptible to vitamin C

deficiencies is your vascular system

because vitamin C has the purpose of

keeping the collagen in the arteries

nice and strong and elastic okay when

you don’t have

you get certain like little lesions or

holes in the arteries so vitamin C is

intimately involved in vascular

integrity okay and so you have capillary

damage which really happens with high

levels of sugar in the blood or glucose

in the blood being a pre-diabetic or a

diabetic and then you end up having high

insulin what happens is that high amount

of sugar competes with vitamin C so

you’ll actually when sugar goes up your

vitamin C goes down then you become

susceptible to getting capillary damage

and so you have little areas of bleeding

in the artery in inflammation and then

comes the cholesterol and the calcium as

a band-aid this can also happen in your

skin as rosacea it can happen on the

gums as bleeding gums it can happen in

your nose as a nosebleed so really you

need vitamin C to protect you against

high levels of sugar because this can

also affect the capillaries to the

nerves as well another nutrient that

will protect this as b1 but vitamin C

will do it too so you want to start

increasing your vegetable content dark

leafy greens the bell pepper is loaded

with it cabbage sauerkraut fermented

actually has a tremendous amount of

vitamin C berries have vitamin C other

vegetables now citrus also has vitamin C

but when you buy bottled lemon juice or

lime juice it’s pasteurized so there’s

hardly any vitamin C in there so the key

with this is have actual lemons and get

your juice from the lemons if you’re

trying to get your vitamin C from it

okay so I just wanted to bring this up

you may have these symptoms you want to

prevent this right here and the way you

do it is through the foods having foods

higher in vitamin C and also keeping

your Sugar’s low

by doing keto and intermittent fasting
