A recent study demonstrated that acute and chronic intake of mg of 2S-hesperidin in amateur cyclists, significantly improved anaerobic performance. Flavonoids may also play a role in protecting cognition, according to a Harvard study, published online in July by Neurology.

Scientists evaluated the self-reported diet and memory information of more than 77, middle-aged men and women, who were followed for 20 years.

Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth. It also helps the body absorb iron from non-haem sources. Vitamin C is often described as an antioxidant, but this is not actually correct.

It does not have direct free radical neutralising effects like vitamin E and vitamin A. There are concerns with taking supplements containing vitamin A and vitamin E as the may mop up too many free radical some of which are needed for the normal function of the cell. This concern does not relate to vitamin C even in relatively higher doses.

This process facilitates repair of the DNA damage caused by oxidative damage and is therefore a significant aspect of immune function. Vitamin C may also have cancer protective properties by limiting the formation of carcinogens, such as nitrosamines from meat and instead converts them into Nitric oxide NO which is linked to lower blood pressure, better tissues oxygenation and improved sports performance.

Vitamin C has also been shown to protect intracellular components from toxic products such as hydrogen peroxide via inhibition of gap-junction intercellular communication. Finally vitamin C is a cofactor for several enzymes and plays an important role in the synthesis of collagen and cellular defence apparatus.

This protection is needed every minute of every day as, according to estimates, each cell in the body can be expected to experience approximately , potentially DNA-damaging events daily.

So a healthy DNA repair system is imperative. General benefits of polyphenols: The multiple benefits of polyphenols including bioflavonoids have been described in detail elsewhere but in a nutshell includes; feeding health bacteria in the gut, improving gut health, reducing excess chronic inflammation, enhancing antioxidant enzymes and protecting joints — read more.

Anti-viral potential of Citrus Bioflavonoids infections: Hesperetin, naringin, and catechin have demonstrated inhibitory effects on various viruses including herpes simplex virus type 1 HSV-1 , polio-virus type 1, parainfluenza virus type 3 Pf-3 , and respiratory syncytial virus RSV in different mechanisms [Kaul, Su, Parhiz, Knelkt].

Hesperetin had no effect on infectivity but it reduced intracellular replication [Lin]. Catechin inhibited the infectivity but not the replication [Kaul, Mycol]. Oxidation of citrus is important because it breaks down the hesperetin skeleton which has been shown to decrease its antiviral activity [Paredes].

Some bioflavonoids have demonstrated specific replication inhibition effects on SARS-CoV infected cells [Ryu, Neurath, Bai]. Severe deficiency in vitamin C results is commonly called scurvy.

As vitamin C deficiency progresses, collagen synthesis becomes impaired and connective tissues become weakened, causing haemorrhagic skin changes such as petechiae, ecchymoses, purpura, joint pain, poor wound healing, hyperkeratosis, and corkscrew hairs.

After more time, individuals develop depression, swollen, bleeding gums and loosening or loss of teeth due to weak tissues and blood vessels.

Scurvy was responsible for the miserable deaths of thousand British sailors during the mids until Sir James Lind, a British Navy surgeon, determined that eating limes and other citrus fruits could prevent scurvy.

More relevant is health implications of having chronically low levels which as been linked with an increased risk of a important degenerative conditions such as high blood pressure, macular degeneration, gallbladder disease, atherosclerosis, heart attacks and stroke.

Higher than normal levels, especially produced through intravenous ascorbic acid, have not been shown to reduce the incidence of these disease. The levels of vitamin C and other healthy polyphenols are very much higher in the wild rather than industrial farmed varieties. In a typical western diet, although potatoes only have a low concentration of vitamin C, because they are eaten in such large amounts they are substantial contributors to the national daily intake.

Other food sources include red and green peppers, kale, nuts, kiwifruit, broccoli, strawberries, peas and Brussels sprouts. It is present in high concentrations in many herbs particularly coriander, thyme and mint. Spices such as chili, paprika and black pepper have a high concentration but have a lower contribution to the daily amount as they are usually taken in small amounts.

Although vitamin C is not naturally present in grains, it is added to some fortified breakfast cereals. The vitamin C content of food may be reduced by prolonged storage and by cooking because ascorbic acid is water-soluble and is destroyed by heat.

Steaming or even short microwaving may lessen cooking losses. Fortunately, many of the best food sources of vitamin C, such as fruits and some vegetables, are usually consumed raw. Some dried food concentrates preserve their high vitamin C content, particularly rose hips. Consuming five varied servings of fruits and vegetables a day can provide more than mg of vitamin C.

Improvements in food logistics have ensured that the availability of fruits from around the world has never been so good. Both conventional fruits and exotic varieties often have high levels of vitamin C.

Fruit juices and smoothies: These are a reasonable way to increase your fruit intake but they also increase the effect of the sugar by speeding up how quickly it is absorbed into the blood stream glycaemic index.

Eating excess sugar and other high glycemic index food have significant health concerns. If you do make fruit juices, ideally they should be drunk fresh. After squeezing, juice changes its chemical composition quickly becoming more acidic and losing its nutritional content.

Juices within cartons have generally been heavily processed increasing their sugar content and often need the vitamin C re-added to keep the levels up.

Many also have added extra sugar and these should definitely be avoided. Despite the drawn back of juices they are still a better alternative than sugary canned drinks so on a hot summer day consider a freshly squeezed orange mixed, mint, water and ice which may entice kids to more a healthier option.

One lemon squeezed into a pitcher with a spoon of honey topped up with sparkling water makes healthier lemonade for children. Although it is true that initially fruit can result in a little irritation in vulnerable individuals, it is not the root cause of the problem and in the long term fruit will improve the health of the stomach and oesophagus gullet.

The underlying cause is usually an unhealthy balance of fat, meats and sugar which the stomach has to work harder to digest — i. produce more of its own hydrochloric acid. To make matters worse, sufferers often turn to antacids for immediate relief.

The stomach then senses a more alkaline environment and responds by producing yet more acid, perpetuating the problem. On the other hand, consumption of mildly acidic fruit sends signals to the stomach lining to produce less of its own acid.

After a while, with perseverance, eating fruit and other less gastric-irritating foods will therefore reduce the acid levels make the stomach more alkaline and improve the health of gastric lining, and thus prevent indigestion.

Most case-control studies and epidemiologic evidence suggests that higher consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with lower risk of most types of cancer including lung, breast, colon or rectum, stomach, oral cavity, larynx or pharynx, and esophagus.

This may, in part, due to their high vitamin C content although fruit also contains other healthy components including fibre, other vitamins, minerals and polyphenols.

Evidence from prospective cohort studies is compounded by the issue that people who eat more fruit are generally more health conscious, less likely to smoke, be overweight and more likely to exercise.

The other elements of fruit such as the fibre and citrus bioflavonoids are also healthy independent on the vitamin C content. There are some studies which large enough for the statistician to exclude these other influences in the statistical analysis.

It appears, from this data that taking over the required amount of vitamin C does not reduce cancer risk but being deficient does increase the risk. Bioflavonoids are found in citrus fruits and contribute to the maintenance of capillary strength and intensify the effect of Vitamin C in the body.

They cannot be produced by the body and must be taken through food or supplements. People with bruising, varicose veins, cataracts, bleeding gums, blood clots and haemorrhoids could benefit from including bioflavonoids in their daily diet.
