The Great Debate Over Natural vs. Synthetic Vitamin C



Most of us do not think about where Vitamin C comes from. We see labels on packages that show oranges and we assume its safe. I have done some research on this and have found that there are lots of complaints about synthetic Vitamin C in stores because it is not natural or raw, it comes from a lab. Some say though that it absorbs the same way, some say it can cause damage too your body. There is so much debate, I can't come to a conclusion about it at all. So, I will say the good news is that since this is a Natural Health blog, I can honestly suggest eating foods and getting your Vitamin C raw. You can get supplements that are raw lie Vitamin Code, and guess what I found? Camu Camu, is a fruit that grows in the swamp of the amazon rainforest. It has been studied, and found to have whopping amounts of Vitamin C. It has 2145 mg of C per serving! It also has 15.7 mg of Calcium, 83 mg of Potassium, and 12.4 g of Magnesium. 60 times more C than an orange! On that note, did you know that on Orange has a measley 51 mg of C per serving? I do not know why Oranges were told to be the superfood of Vitamin C, when other fruits kick its butt! Pineapple holds the highest per fruit, meaning the entire giant plant of pineapple with 432 mg. Next, there is Mango with 122 mg, and Kiwi has 64 mg. See 9 Foods With More Vitamin C than an Orange Camu Camu comes in powder form, and you can get it at Sunfoods, please go through the main link through my referral code, it helps me to get a tiny commission, or reward points. If you would rather go natural, then I would highly recommend getting several servings of fruit a day, but since that is unrealistic, that is why smoothies, and juices were invented, so you can drink it up and get on with your day. It is worth noting that synthetic might be a problem, and we need to avoid Absorbic acid, or test it on ourselves to see whether or not it works, or is causing unusual symptoms.

Maca For Female Hormonal Balance

Image
Maca root is a Peruvian vegetable with properties to naturally balance not just estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, but adrenals as well. I discovered it a few years back, and took three a day to see if it would help my ovulation, and menstrual migraines. It took great consistency, every day but it did work. I had to take two or three to notice a difference. Maca is also for stamina, energy, fertility, and libido. Some women have reported having tender breasts and PMS on it, so in certain woman may not work. Certified Organic, GMO-Free, Fair Trade Maca of All Varities I took it for three months, had hardly any hormonal migraines at all. Some doctors say not to take it for long period of time, because your body can build up a tolerance. Its never best to stay on an herb for more than a few months. Stop for awhile, alternate with something else. Alternatives are: Votes( chasteberry), Evening Primrose Oil, Flax Oil. These can all balance hormones. Resources: Top Fiv

Panic Attacks-A Hidden Deficiency?

Image
In May of 2016, I was having strange symptoms. For three hours, I had my arms go numb, and travel up and down tingling. This really frightened me. I couldn't fix it, didn't know what to do so by the time I staggered out into the living room to get my Mother, I was in a very bad place. I could not breathe, my left arm felt like fifty rubber bands were tied around it. I squeaked for my Mother. At first, she just kept saying that I didn't have insurance. One look though, and ran upstairs to figure something out. I could not walk at all, and still couldn't breathe. We tried going to an outpatient place, but they couldn't help me, and I kept sliding down in my chair. The nurse told me to go to the ER, and drink water in case it was a heart attack. I thought it was a heart attack, truly because I was having chest pains. My life flashed before my eyes the long drive to the hospital. A persons faith matters, and I have to say I was not really afraid of dying(I f

Organic food has become more mainstream in recent years. Over 82% of U.S. households buy organic. 14% of all fruits and vegetables bought are organic.  Americans spend 50 billion a year.(ota.com) I used to know a woman that ate organic food only, even chocolate. She was the right thin size, never was sick, never had physical issues. She seemed to have tons of energy for a Mother of four. Jillian Michaels said in her book: Master Your Metabolism The 3 Diet Secrets to Naturally Balancing Your Hormones for a Hot & Healthy Body that she had a friend that maintained her weight always, because she only ate organic. Jillian says to buy organic, the foods you eat the most of.
