Vitamin C Is a Natural Barrier for Diabetics Against Viruses

Vitamin C is an incredibly important part of your immune system and your health in general. Vitamin C deficit once frequently caused a disease known as scurvy, but low vitamin C can also cause you to have a much weaker immune system among a bunch of other issues.

Most people associate vitamin C with citrus fruits, such as lemons, limes, oranges, and more. While those are good sources of vitamin C, they’re also high in sugars, making them a poor option for most diabetics.

You might think that the next best option is to take supplement pills, but there’s another fruit out there that can give you more than enough vitamin C. Bell peppers are low in sugars and carbs, but have even more vitamin C than citrus fruits.

In fact, as little as one cup of bell peppers can get you more than 100% of your daily value of vitamin C. Vitamin C is important for your immune system because it helps with the production and function of many different immune system cells.

Without it, you may either produce weak immune cells or very few immune cells. It has also been shown to help decrease your chances of getting a few different types of cancer.

This vitamin doesn’t just help with your immune system, though. It’s also very helpful for diabetics in general, and that’s for a few different reasons. One of the most pressing reasons is that it helps manage your blood glucose levels, which is naturally very important for diabetics.

It can also help keep your blood pressure under control in many situations, something that those with type 2 diabetes experience rather often. One of the more unconventional benefits of vitamin C is that it helps with skincare.

Surprisingly enough, it was found to help people develop clearer skin when they were getting enough of it. This might be more pertinent to diabetics since they often struggle with skin problems as a result of their conditions.

Bell peppers can be added to almost any food, whether it be on the side, mixed in, or as a snack eaten all on its own. They’re readily available at most grocery stores or local farmer’s markets, and they’re absolutely great for your health.

Try mixing things up by adding them into whatever you’re having for dinner as soon as you can, because the more vitamin C you can get, the better.


The Importance of Watching Your Blood Sugar During Viral Outbreaks

Most diabetics are already aware of how important it is for them to keep track of their blood sugar. Making a few wrong moves can have some serious implications, and it can leave you feeling weak, exhausted, and can lead to some pretty serious medical problems.

However, keeping track of your blood sugar during a viral outbreak adds a whole new layer of importance, because that is the last time that you’d want to have an incident. One reason it’s so important to keep track of your blood sugar is that if your blood sugar gets way too high, you might have to go to the hospital or the doctor’s office.

During a viral outbreak, this is the last place that you want to go, especially with an underlying condition like diabetes. Chances are that location has been processing tons of patients with the virus, and you run a much higher risk of infection.

Typically, those with conditions like diabetes get hit harder by viruses anyway, but when you’re going there with high blood sugar already, it can be even worse, since your body is already dealing with its own problems.

You need to exercise extreme caution when going to the hospital if your blood sugar gets too high. Another complication that can stem from having too high or too low blood sugar is that you may end up having symptoms that go in line with the virus that’s spreading around.

You might start to feel sick and dizzy, or have splitting headaches and accidentally assume that you caught the virus. Letting your blood sugar get out of control can actually damage your immune system and make it work less efficiently than it was previously.

Your immune system relies on your body getting just the right amounts of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals so that it can work properly. All of those nutrients are used in different ways by different immune cells, so if you’re eating improperly and letting your blood sugar get out of control, you also may not be getting the nutrients that you need in the first place, leading to a weaker immune system that’s more susceptible to the virus.

During virus outbreaks, it’s crucial that you eat healthily to maintain your immune system and also keep consistent track of your blood sugar so that you don’t end up having to go to the hospital and expose yourself.
