Is
Vitamin C Good for Weight Loss?
There
are many who know that vitamin C can make you look younger as
it is great for your skin. But what many are not aware of is that
it can also help you fight weight problems. According to some
researchers low levels of vitamin C are responsible for high Body
Mass index / high blood fat and also a larger waist line. It has
been found that those with greater levels of vitamin C in their
blood are comparatively slimmer and have a better BMI and also
have less fat content in the body which is actually very good
for your overall health.
Most of us are aware that Vitamin C is a very important component
that our diets should include. Experts advise that you should
consume foods that are rich in Vitamin C or take more than 1000
mg of Vitamin C supplements to ensure that your immune system
remains healthy and fit. However, Vitamin C is also great for
getting rid of your abdominal fat. Researchers are not sure whether
your body fat reduces Vitamin C levels in your body or it is because
of low Vitamin C in the body that you put on weight. However,
you can be sure of one thing and that is, higher levels of Vitamin
C in your bloodstream ensures that when you exercise, you will
be able to burn more fat quickly, thereby enabling you to reduce
weight quickly.
According to researchers it is the relationship that exists between
Carnitine and Vitamin C that plays a crucial role in solving your
weight problems. Carnitine is an important component that carries
the energy to each and every cell in the body. However, it is
Vitamin C that is responsible for Carnitine production which means
if there is insufficient Vitamin C in the body it can reduce your
energy levels thereby forcing your body to dip into the fat stored
in your muscles. This results in excessive body weight and flab
around your waist.
If you are overweight / obese, your body may be getting sufficient
calories but it may not be getting the required quantity of nutrients
and vitamins that are so essential for boosting your energy levels
and also improving your overall health conditions.
Finally, though Vitamin C may help you burn the excess fat to
help you lose weight, make sure that your overall diet is healthy.
Take a lot of vegetables and fruits which are rich in vitamin
C and also exercise regularly so that not only do you lose weight
quickly but also look younger too.
