This vitamin helps to strengthen the tiniest blood vessels such as capillaries and cell walls. It also helps in the formation of a protein found in connective tissues called collagen.

Collagen is a protein needed for healthy skin, bones, teeth and gums. It also plays an important role in healing burns and wounds. Vitamin C also helps to produce neurotransmitters, noradrenalin which regulates blood flow, and serotonin which helps to promote sleep. Vitamin C helps to prevent cataracts and also treats asthma and protects against some forms of cancer and heart diseases.

Vitamin C helps to produce hemoglobin in red blood cells and also helps to absorb iron from the food. Vitamin C is one of the best remedies for common cold.

One of the reasons it took me so long to pick up a consistent yoga practice was that I found the class intimidating and was always afraid I was doing something wrong. Here is a great article about Yoga Etiquette to help you get through the initial insecurity!

And for those of you in San Diego, Bonnie is teaching a free class at the W Hotel this Thursday @ 5:30! See you there!
