Do you belive you can avoid catching cold by eating Vitamine C?

Hi, We often hear that it would be good to take vitamin C for the protection of our body at the beginning of a cold. From empiricism, vitamin C might have some effects on a cold, and it would be preferable to obtain vitamin C as part of a balanced diet. The effects of vitamin C might be better when it is taken with other vitamins rather than taken alone, as mentioned above. Vitamin C strengthens connective tissue, increasing resistance to viral invasion. Vitamin C also strengthens the body’s immune system, neutralizes free radicals, and kills viruses (9, 10). These four important functions of vitamin C work together to safely and effectively reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of a cold. http://www.chemistryquestion.com/English/Questions/ChemistryInDailyLife/4ot_vitaminC_cold.html All the best.

Vitamin C is available in all citrus fruits and it has the benefits of increasing the immunity system in fighting against the infections that enters the human body.Mainly this vitamin is prefered during or before the attack of common cold.

You catch less cold when you have a regular intake of vitamin C. I drink plenty of lemon juice which is a natural vitamin C and do not catch cold even when the entire family has it. It is not a matter of belief but matter of practice which enriches you immune system. Again never drink or take vitamin C when you already have cold as it aggravates the condition. Happy mylotting.

hi...up to now i didn't read about this vitamin and cold... also i usually catching cold that i don't take any medisens ...but the vitamin must have a good effect to our healths...so AIRIRNI YIZIP BOLALAMIDM....nice day...

Yup I believe in it. If all experts says it prevents colds then it prevents colds but not all the time. Vitamins C increases your immune system and in result, your body will produce antibodies enought to kill virusses. If ever I feel I am having colds, I immediately buy some fruits or fresh fruit juice or vitamin drinks to lessen the effects of my colds and continue my day. It really annoying having colds while you have to do something :D

vitamin C can make are body stronger and can defend from viruses that can make as ill thou vitamin C can prevent as from catching cold...and for a trivia GUAVA is the fruit that has the highest contain of vitamin C..so, for better health eat guava at least once a day and you will be protected from diseases...

I still believe it. Maybe vitamin c doesn't have a direct link to colds, but it makes our body's immune system stronger. It is also present in most fruit juices and we all know that a common cold remedy is to drink lots of juice. I think that's why vitamin c is believed to prevent or cure colds.
