In a new study, another health benefit was revealed regarding vitamin C. According to the study, vitamin C intake can reduce the risk of having a stroke.
The American Academy of Neurology had an annual meeting where the research was presented, according to Huffington Post.
This research revealed that the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is reduced if you have normal level of vitamin C, but the risk is higher for people with depleted vitamin C levels.
According to Utah People's Post, high blood pressure, alcohol consumption and being overweight also put the person at risk of hemorrhagic stroke as revealed in the study.
In this study, 65 people who had hemorrhagic strokes had their vitamin C blood levels tested along with people who never had strokes.
45 percent of the people tested had normal vitamin C levels while another 45 percent had depleted vitamin C levels. The other 14 percent of people had alarmingly low vitamin C levels that were considered deficient.
This study has not been officially published in a peer-reviewed journal yet though.
