Importance of Vitmain E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin which in total has 8 compounds, of which only one compound is useful to humans. This is also known as alpha-tocopherol and plays a vital role in anti-oxidation process and is believed to improve the overall ageing process.

 Benefits, functions, and sources of Vitamin E

  1. Vitamin E that is absorbed by the intestine is transferred to the liver, from where only alpha-tocopherol gets re-released into the system in small amounts. So, if your diet contains the other 7 variants, they are excreted by the liver (not required in humans).
  2. This active vitamin E controls the oxidation process in cells and prevents the release of free radicals, which is the culprit in all inflammatory processes. These can cause heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and stroke. This process is also accelerated by the environmental factors like pollution, UV rays, smoking, etc.
  3. Vitamin E is also shown to dilate blood vessels and prevent platelet clogging.
  4. Vitamin E is useful in preventing and treating diabetes and its related complications. Of note, diabetes is also considered as a chronic inflammatory process.
  5. The nervous system diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and epilepsy can benefit from Vitamin E. It reduces overall cognitive declines and helps in these disease conditions
  6. Women are particularly benefitted from vitamin E, including premenstrual cramps, painful periods, hot flashes with breast cancer,eclampsia during pregnancy, and pregnancy complications
  7. Given their role in energy formation, they help improve endurance, energy levels, and improv muscle strength and reduce muscle damage.
  8. The antioxidant effect is useful in reversing ageing skin changes including wrinkles and fine lines. Vitamin E is used widely in skin care products including creams and lotions and helps in regeneration of skin and tissue.
  9. It is useful to control hair loss , which could be due to multiple reasons, including chemotherapy or side effect of drugs.
  10. It is useful in treating allergies, asthma, respiratory infections, and skin allergies.
  11. Eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration which are generally age-related can be controlled with adequate intake of vitamin E.
  12. Taken with other antioxidants like niacin, it is helpful in controlling the buildup of cholesterol.

BENEFITS OF DRINKING WARM WATER

Water is essential to flush out the toxins from our body. In fact, starting the day off by drinking a glass of water is a routine that many people who are conscious about their health follow without fail. This is a very good habit to have, but it's important to know whether you should be drinking cold or warm water. A lot of physicians recommend drinking a glass of warm water as it has many health benefits and can help alleviate certain ailments.

1. Relieves Constipation
Drinking warm water on an empty stomach can help regulate bowel movements and fight constipation. Constipation occurs when there is a low water content in the intestines - this lack of water causes the stools to dry out and makes them much more difficult to pass. The warm water will decompose any remnant food and will make bowel movements smooth and less painful. Too add to this, it will also reduce the abdominal bloating, pain and discomfort that is associated with constipation.
To fight constipation, drink a glass of warm water every morning on an empty stomach. For added benefits, add lemon or honey to it before drinking.

2. Improves Digestion
To improve your digestion, start drinking warm water regularly.
Tepid water stimulates the digestive gland and helps break down food in your stomach so that your digestive system does not have to work so hard - this helps save energy. Furthermore, it helps get rid of any excess stomach acids as well as neutralizing digestive juices.
If you suffer from poor digestion you should start and end your day with a glass of warm water.

3. Soothes Sore Throat
Warm water helps dissolve thick mucus and removes it from the respiratory tract.
In addition to warm water, you can also drink other warm liquids such as herbal teas. Furthermore, to treat a sore throat, you can gargle with a glass of warm water mixed with half a teaspoon of salt.
 
4. Treats Nasal Congestion
Warm water is a great remedy for nasal congestion as it helps cleanse the nasal cavities, bringing instant relief. When you drink warm water, it loosens any mucus buildup in your respiratory tracts and nasal cavities, which decreases the possibility of any viruses or bacteria being able to grow there.
5. Shed Excess Pounds
Those who are following a strict diet and exercise regime for weight loss will benefit greatly from drinking a glass of warm water. This is because warm water increases core body temperature, which in turn increases metabolic rate. An increase in metabolic rate results in more calories being burned. Warm water even helps break down fatty deposits in the body.
 
6. Detoxifies Your Body
Warm water cleanses your body by flushing out dangerous toxins. When you drink warm water, it leads to an increase in your body temperature. Therefore, you start sweating to cool down - sweating helps remove any trapped toxins from your body.
Furthermore, warm water also detoxifies your skin, thereby decreasing your risk of skin-related ailments such as acne breakouts and skin blemishes.
For better results, add some lemon juice to a glass of warm water before drinking it.

7. Alleviates Menstrual Cramps
Drinking warm water can help alleviate menstrual cramps as it relaxes the contracting muscles in the uterus, which in turn will give you instant relief from cramps and muscle spasms. Furthermore, it will prevent your body from retaining water and prevent painful bloating during menstruation.
8. Improves Blood Circulation 
Warm water helps improve blood circulation - this is important as blood delivers vital oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and organs.
When you drink hot water, the body's fat deposits burn and any built up deposits in the nervous system are also broken down. This improves blood circulation and flushes out toxins. Avoid drinking cold water, as this closes up your veins and decreases blood circulation.
 
9. Slows Down Aging
Warm water is good for your skin and it removes all those toxins that are responsible for premature aging and various health problems. Also, warm water helps to repair skin cells, rejuvenate your skin and improves elasticity. Add some lemon juice to the warm water to enhance its detoxifying power.
 
10. Induces Sleep
If you're finding it difficult to get to sleep, sipping on some warm water before bed can work a treat. The warm water increase your body temperature, which then relaxes your body, soothes your nerves, and makes you sleepy.

Additional Notes
  • Always drink warm water, as drinking hot water can damage the tissues in your mouth and esophagus.
  • After boiling water, give it a few minutes to cool down.
  • Always drink warm water when eating food. If you drink cold water, your body needs more energy to increase its temperature, which detracts from the process of digestion.
  • Don't drink warm water after exercising, as your body's temperature is already high.
  •   this is only for your information, kindly take the advice of your doctor for medicines, exercises and so on.
