1% Thursday: Vitamin C

by James on 4 June 2009

Talk to your doctor about taking a 500mg Vitamin C supplement.

Of course, we always recommend talking to your doctor before taking anything new!  That being said, this would be a good one to try.  She might recommend a different dosage, but 500mg is a good place to start.

Everyone knows vitamin C is good for you.  The best thing you can do is eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.  There’s a great deal of controversy about how much vitamin C supplements help, but the evidence in favour of vitamin C still has the attention of many doctors and researchers.

We’ve talked before about taking vitamin C before altitude changes.  And if the extra supplement can keep the flu bug away just once, it will keep away some major head pain.

What is 1% Thursday?

1% Thursday

Every Thursday at Headache and Migraine News (weather permitting) we’ll talk about one measurable, practical thing we can do to make our lives just 1% better.  Usually it will be something very easy, sometimes it will be a challenge.  Let us know if you try it, or share an idea of your own – and maybe a year from now we’ll see that things have really changed for the better!
