Do you take a vitamin C supplement? You might consider it after hearing about the surprising thing this little orange pill can do for your health ...
According to Mark Hyman, M.D., who blogs for the Huffington Post, more Americans have higher-than-normal lead levels in their bodies than they think. That's a heavy metal you don't want lurking about. Lead in the body can cause everything from insomnia to depression to headaches and low sex drive--and worse.
But, he suggested several ways to reduce your lead exposure and absorption (it's in the environment, so everyone is susceptible), and one that stuck out to me was his recommendation to take a vitamin C supplement (something I do as a matter of course):
"Take 1,000 milligrams of buffered ascorbic acid (vitamin C) a day," he says. "This helps remove lead from the body."
Love this advice, as it's something all of us can do easily to be healthier!
