Some Vitamin P A Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Citrus fruits, onions, grape seed extract, pine bark extract, and red wine all have the same thing in common -- they are all an excellent source of a vitamin called flavenoid which is also known as Vitamin P.

Flavenoids are pigments that are found in plants that have been shown to fight a wealth of disorders from hay fever to hot flashes to cancer. To date, over 4,000 flavenoids or elements of Vitamin P have been discovered, and researchers are saying there are many more still to be discovered. Vitamin P flavenoids are known to give fruit and vegetables their color and have also proven to be powerful antioxidants. Some are even more so than either Vitamin C or Vitamin E in terms of reducing the risk of cellular damage caused by free radicals.

Vitamin P flavenoids are known to fight diseases as a result of their ability to decrease inflammation, block histamine release, combat free radicals, improve immunities, improve blood flow, and make blood vessels stronger. They are a big aid in preventing coronary disease by creating changes in the body that will prevent arterial blockage. Research in Europe found that subjects who receive a lot of Vitamin P have less chance of stroke or heart disease. One particular study showed that a Vitamin P rich diet decreased the chance of heart disease by 23% in men and 50% for women. Another trial showed a 75% decrease in risk of stroke for men who had the richest Vitamin P diet in comparison with those whose diet was poor in Vitamin P.

The common expression that an apple a day is good for your health is due to its rich Vitamin P flavenoid content. So now we know why mom was always on our back, she was just taking care of your heart.
