The Impact of Smoking and Alcohol: a Focus on Health and Vitamin C

November 28, 2023

  Smoking is the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Smoking can lead to shortening and irregularity of cilia in bronchial epithelial cells, as well as impair their movement, reducing local resistance and making them more susceptible to infections.

Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking are well-known factors that affect health. With the improvement of living standards, people's awareness of health is gradually increasing, and how to prevent the adverse effects of alcohol and smoking on health has become a widely concerned issue.

Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking are associated with significantly lower levels of vitamin C in the blood. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for maintaining good health. It has numerous functions, such as preventing the oxidation of vitamin A and vitamin E, promoting the healing of damaged tissues in synergy with them, as well as preventing colds and enhancing immune function. If the level of vitamin C in the body remains consistently low without supplementation, it can lead to diseases.

The main sources of vitamin C are fresh vegetables and fruits. It is important to minimize the loss of vitamin C during storage and cooking processes. Additionally, vitamin C supplements can be taken in daily life.
