Vitamin C may improve smokers' blood circulation

A dose of vitamin C may give a quick boost to repparttar poorer-than-average blood circulation seen in healthy young smokers, a study suggests. The study of 25 healthy men found that although smokers initially showed poorer results on a test of blood flow to repparttar 103793 heart that changed after they took a large dose — 2 grams — of vitamin C. Shortly after taking repparttar 103794 vitamin, repparttar 103795 13 smokers showed blood circulation on par with that of repparttar 103796 12 non-smokers, according to findings published in a leading heart journal. However, lest smokers think they can undo heart damage by chasing a cigarette with a vitamin C pill, repparttar 103797 researchers say their findings underline repparttar 103798 dangers of smoking. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, a substance that helps clear repparttar 103799 body of cell-damaging molecules called oxygen free radicals. Because of this, it's thought that repparttar 103800 vitamin may counter repparttar 103801 "oxidative stress" that smoking puts on repparttar 103802 lining of repparttar 103803 blood vessels — a mechanism by which smoking leads to artery disease. The new study looked at repparttar 103804 effect of oral vitamin C on coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR), a measure of how well blood flow speeds up to help repparttar 103805 heart when it's under high demands. Past research has shown that smokers show poorer blood-vessel dilation in response to blood flow, and have a diminished CFVR.
