| Question: | What' s your view on niacin? |
| Answer: | Niacin, otherwise known as vitamin B3, has many remarkable properties. It improves cholesterol levels, can stop a migraine in its tracks, and gives energy a boost. It is also a great detoxifier because it acts as a vasodilator, widening the blood vessels and helping to remove toxins and deliver nutrients into your body cells. During this process you blush for 20 to 30 minutes, and may get a little hot and itchy as your circulation improves. If you want to detoxify your body, try taking niacin every day for a week, as well as eating healthy foods. Take lOOmg of niacin on an empty stomach in a restful environment (don' t do this at work - the blushing effect, although quite safe, is pronounced in some people and might look a bit alarming!). When the blushing starts have a relaxing bath and then lie down. You' ll find it relaxes your body and mind and leaves you feeling thoroughly detoxified. |
