Sea Moss is a Rich Source of Vitamin C and Magnesium. Here's What They Do!
Introduction
We have consumed sea moss for centuries, but it is only now we are starting to understand its health benefits.
According to USDA, sea moss is a rich and healthy gluten-free, vegan source of nutrients, especially vitamin C and magnesium, that you need to intake daily. A lack of both of these nutrients can spell bad news for you. Here is how you can prevent some of the conditions related to magnesium and vitamin C deficiency.
Aging
Vitamin C can help slow down the aging process. As we age, our body cells become more prone to oxidants that damage them and quicken the process of aging. We can prevent this by consuming antioxidants. Vitamin C intake reduces the probability of wrinkled skin and dryness and improves the skin aging process.
Healthy Sugar levels
Magnesium plays a role in improving insulin sensitivity, a factor responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. Studies reveal that people with diabetes tend to have lower magnesium levels in their blood. Adequate intake of magnesium can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Improved Workout Results
Magnesium has a vital role to play in muscle build-up and maintenance. Our body’s requirements for energy increase during the workout. Magnesium helps move sugar from blood to muscle. Magnesium also helps in building muscles. If our body does not get sufficient magnesium, it may result in muscle damage.
Fighting Depression
Magnesium is a good-mood stimulant that plays a critical role in mood management. serotonin, our body's hormone responsible for happiness, needs magnesium to work correctly. Studies have shown that supplementing magnesium may help reduce depression and anxiety-related issues.
Better Hairs
Vitamin C makes your hair stronger. It is involved in synthesizing a protein called collagen, which is responsible for the strength of our hair. The deficiency of Vitamin C can affect collagen synthesis and, ultimately, the health of your hair. Supplementing Vitamin C can reduce hair loss, prevent premature greying of hairs and fight off dandruff.
Overcoming Stress
When we are under stress, our body produces a hormone called cortisol as a response. Vitamin C stops the production of cortisol. Taking vitamin supplements before starting your day or after a stressful activity can alleviate the adverse effects of stress on your body.
Pollution
Air pollution is increasing every day. Many of the pollutants in the air are antioxidants. Studies suggest that intaking vitamin C may have an antioxidant effect on them which can further help reduce the symptoms of respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Allergies and Inflammation
When exposed to allergens, our body triggers immune responses that often result in swelling and hives. Vitamin C acts as a natural anti-inflammatory substance and helps overcome swelling. Taking a dose of vitamin C can help overcome common symptoms of inflammation and allergies, such as runny nose, watery eyes due to allergic rhinitis, congestion, and sneezing.
