In this video, we’re going to talk about subclinical scurvy. Scurvy is a severe vitamin C deficiency. When it’s classified as subclinical, that means it doesn't show up on a typical blood test because it’s still developing. Another term for this is latent scurvy.

Here are some of the symptoms of scurvy:
•Capillary damage
•Fatigue
•Bleeding gums
•Weakness
•Irritability
•Leg pain
•Inflammation
•Achy joints and muscles

Before spending money on expensive tests, try consuming foods high in vitamin C to see if you improve!

Your vascular system is most susceptible to vitamin C deficiency. Vitamin C keeps the collagen in your arteries strong and elastic. Without enough vitamin C, your arteries can develop lesions and lose their vascular integrity.

Capillary damage occurs when you have high levels of sugar in your blood. Sugar competes with the vitamin C in your body, causing vitamin C levels to drop. When you have capillary damage, arterial bleeding, and inflammation, your body sends cholesterol and calcium to repair the damage.

This can also happen in your skin, resulting in rosacea. You can also develop bleeding gums, a nosebleed, or experience damage to your nerves. In addition to vitamin C, vitamin B1(thiamine) can help protect your body from high levels of sugar in your blood.

The best way to prevent scurvy is to eat foods rich in vitamin C and keep your blood sugars low by going on keto and doing intermittent fasting.

Try some of these foods to help prevent vitamin C deficiency and scurvy:
•Dark leafy greens
•Bell peppers
•Cabbage/Sauerkraut
•Berries
•Citrus fruits
