Can Vitamin E Cure Almost Everything?
By: David Leonhardt
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!
good health and it is needed in quantities above what most people take in their diet.
