properties. It is really a powerful antioxidant and its positive
effects on people's health cannot be doubted. It's a proved
fact that vitamin E is widely used in medicine and is also a
popular additive to various kinds of cosmetics. Take any
skincare product you have on your shelf and you will find it in
the list of ingredients. So let's take a closer look on the
benefits of vitamin E.
1. Skin
Apart from being an ingredient of many skincare products
Vitamin E may be used in its pure synthetic state to
moisturize your skin. I tried it in the under-eye area and also
on my lips. The effect didn't make me wait long. It may also
be applied as cuticle oil. The general effect it has on the skin
is moisturizing, improving texture and even wrinkles
reducing.
2. UV protection
The most hazardous thing about being in the sun for a long
time is the UV rays which negatively affect our skin and may
become the reason for skin cancer. Vitamin E may serve as a
great and effective UV protector. You shouldn't completely
substitute your sunscreen by it though. Anyway moisturize
your skin with the vitamin E oil before going out into the
midday sun. At the same time you may protect your organism
from the inside by consuming vitamin E rich products and
supplements.
3. Hair
Vitamin E has become the most frequent ingredient added to
shampoos, hair balms and masks. And no wonder why. The
main its function is moisturizing. It nourishes damaged hair
and dry skin of your head as well as hair follicles. Many
stores offer various hair treatments mainly based on the
miraculous properties of vitamin E. I've heard that vitamin E
oil is a very popular hair treatment.
4. Brain
Modern scientists have recently come to a conclusion that
vitamin E in all its forms plays a great role in brain health. It
reduces the risk of dementia and mind cognitive impairment.
But don't rush to take the vitamin oil as an energy shot to
become a new Einstein. You may be surprised but you may
get overdosed with vitamins. So you'd better consult the
doctor first and keep to the right dosage.
5. Heart
The researches have shown that consuming enough of vitamin
E reduces the risk of heart attack and also reduces the risk of
getting cardiovascular disease in general. In order to make
your heart and vessels stronger and healthier you should get
enough of vitamin E daily. The easiest way to accomplish this
task is by taking supplements. But the best way to get all the
necessary nutrients is to keep a healthy diet and eat product
rich in vitamin E such as sunflower seeds, almonds and
peanuts, and greens.
6. Blood cells
I think the most important effect vitamin E has on our bodies
is its influence on blood. How does it work? This antioxidant
helps your body produce new red blood cells and makes this
process run smoothly. As you might know the main function
of red cells is to deliver oxygen all over your body. As your
tissues get enough oxygen they perform their function better
and your overall health state gets better. Moreover, this
prevents blood clots and also stimulates the blood vessels
being in tonus.
7. Allergic asthma prevention
Did you know that the number of people with asthma all
around the world is growing every year? It is the most
common chronic disease among children. So the fact that
vitamin E is helpful is a great news. The types of this
antioxidant are α-tocopherol which is protective against
allergic lung inflammation, and γ-tocopherol which is not.
Moreover, the scientists claim that α-tocopherol is the most
biologically active form and body requires a certain amount of
vitamin C to recycle it. In order to receive the desired effect
you must consult the specialist first and not start self-
treatment.
Probably there are even more healthy characteristics of this
vitamin apart from the enumerated ones. I'm sure that now
you want to reconsider your diet or to rush to the nearest
drugstore. I kindly ask you to keep moderate with the
synthetic oil and consult your doctor in order not to have side
effects or get allergic. Do you already use it? What positive
effects have you noticed?
