Doctor dispels popular myth about benefits of vitamin C
It is believed that vitamin C should be taken in higher doses during the off-season.
The doctor told Russians whether this is really true.
In an interview with Radio 1 , Doctor of Medical Sciences and physician Nikita Neverov stated that this is just a myth.
Vitamin C has not yet proven its positive effect, the specialist emphasized.
According to him, the same applies to tea with raspberry jam.
Taking high doses of vitamin C will not help boost immunity. However, if the body is experiencing a vitamin deficiency, then it is easier for such a person to get sick than for an absolutely healthy person.
This is why, first of all, nutrition must be balanced so that vitamins enter the body in the right quantities.
You can protect yourself from colds with the help of preventive measures.
In particular, the doctor urged to spend less time in crowded places and breathe more fresh air. Constant ventilation of rooms will also help prevent colds, something that Russians often forget about when the cold weather sets in.
