CAN VITAMIN E CURE ALMOST EVERYTHING?

CAN VITAMIN E CURE ALMOST EVERYTHING?
BY: HAMOON
vitamin e is an absolutely vital nutrient in your
body, but it probably can't do half the things you
HEARD IT CAN.
what does vitamin e do? to begin, it is an
antioxidant. it tames dangerous free radicals and
HELPS PREVENT BLOOD CLOTS AND BLOCKAGES IN
coronary arteries. research points to its ability
to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as
HEART ATTACKS AND SOME CANCERS.
vitamin e is also believed to slow the aging
process and to help nerve conduction. most
IMPORTANTLY, IT WORKS TO ENHANCE AND EVEN PROTECT
vitamin c and vitamin a.
there is also promising research that vitamin e
MIGHT HELP PREVENT OR SLOW THE ONSET OF CATARACTS
in the eyes.
vitamin e has been touted as a cure for just about
EVERYTHING BUT A BROKEN HEART. I AM SURE THAT'S
coming, though. here are just a few of the
diseases and conditions vitamin e has been
CREDITED WITH CURING OR PREVENTING:
• parkinson's disease
• infertility in both men and women
• ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
• hepatitis
• eye tissue inflammation
• FIBROMYLAGIA
• hair loss
• pms (pre-menstrual syndrome)
• HEAVY MENSTRUATION
• healing wounds
• diabetes
• ATHEROSCLEROSIS
• menopause
• osteoarthritis
• EVEN RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME!
it might well prove that vitamin is helpful in
some of these and other conditions, but probably
NOT IN MANY OR EVEN MOST OF THEM.
as with many vitamins, there is a raging debate
over how much vitamin e you need. the us
RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE (RDA) IS 8-10
milligrams per day. but most people in the
nutrition field believe that to capture the
LONG-TERM BENEFITS, PEOPLE NEED 10 TO 20 TIMES
that quantity, which is well short of the maximum
recommended 1,000 milligrams.
VITAMIN E IS FOUND IN MANY FOODS IN SMALL
quantities. the good news is that almost everyone
gets sufficient vitamin e to avoid a deficiency,
WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS NOTED BELOW. THE BAD NEWS IS
that most people do not get the rda. this is
definitely a vitamin that should be supplemented.
BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT SUPPLEMENTS YOU CHOOSE,
since the synthetic version of vitamin e is not
even half effective as in its natural form. look
FOR NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS CONTAINING NATURAL
vitamin e, preferably in liquid form.
people on low fat diets need supplements the most,
SINCE FATS AND OILS ARE THE LARGEST SOURCES OF
vitamin e. nuts and green, leafy vegetables are
also good sources, as are egg yolks and liver. so
ARE WHOLE GRAINS.
vitamin e probably will never cure your broken
heart, nor live up to half of the claims people
MAKE ABOUT IT. BUT IT IS AN IMPORTANT VITAMIN FOR
maintaining good health and it is needed in
quantities above what most people take in their
DIET.
