It is stress that affects the physical and mental health of modern people. This can act as a cause of various diseases, so care is needed. Low stress is helpful by stimulating the human body, but strong stress adversely affects the human body, so various efforts are required to overcome it. In particular, the body’s strength to overcome stress is needed, and ‘vitamin C’ plays an important role at this time.
When you are under extreme stress, your body secretes various hormones, and the autonomic nervous system notices it and various changes occur. In order to overcome stress, the sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic nervous system is activated, and the symptoms include increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and increased blood sugar. The substance that mediates the action of the sympathetic nerve is ‘adrenaline’, which is produced in the adrenal medulla.
Adrenaline dilates blood vessels in the brain and skeletal muscles when stressed, allowing the muscles to cope with stress. At the same time, it constricts blood vessels in other parts of the body, reducing the digestive activity response that is not directly related to the stress response. What you need to pay attention to at this time is vitamin C in the Busan cortex, which creates adrenaline.
Vitamin C is distributed in each organ of our body and shows differences in concentration. In particular, the brain and adrenal glands are found to have the highest concentrations, and the concentration of vitamin C in the blood here is 200 times higher than that of other organs on average. In other words, when you are under a lot of stress, if you lack vitamin C, the secretion of adrenaline decreases, and the sympathetic nerve does not work properly, so you cannot properly respond to stress.
When vitamin C is lacking during times of stress, we lack the strength to overcome it mentally and physically, and immune cells are also attacked. When the immune system is weakened, it becomes more susceptible to viral attacks, and the possibility of various diseases and cancers increases.
Therefore, while neutralizing active oxygen, it is necessary to continuously supplement the usual vitamin C because it attacks the body’s immune cells. It is necessary to efficiently control the increased active oxygen and directly or indirectly enhance the immune function while taking antioxidants containing them steadily.
In addition, vitamin C directly enhances NK cell function, which directly attacks virus-infected cells or cancer cells. Therefore, it is necessary to take enough vitamin C to protect the body from viruses and cancer. Precancerous treatment such as the use of precancerous diagnostic kits, vitamin C supplementation, and immunotherapy can also be applied.
Professor Lee Wang-jae of the Banobagi Wellness Clinic said, “Vitamin C has various effects on the human body, especially stress, so it is necessary to take and supplement regularly to improve the health of the mind and body.” By taking vitamin C, you can get help to strengthen the body’s immunity and overall functions.”<도움말:바노바기 웰니스클리닉 이왕재 교수>
