Do you know that a lemon achieves "the empire of the sun never sets"?
Today I will share with you a short story, a empire of the sun that never sets supported by lemons. Hello everyone, I'm Teacher Xu. In 1744, the British naval commander completed a four-year voyage, which caused him to lose more than 1,000 excellent naval officers, 4 deaths in the Battle of Spain, and a strange disease, more than 1,000 people, accounting for 2/3 of the total number of soldiers.
The English king was furious and ordered to find out the cause at all costs. Because this disease had become the biggest enemy of the British Navy at that time, the British military doctor James Lind at that time, while carefully searching for the cause, he advised sailors to eat more when they sailed. Lemon turned out to be amazing, and the strange disease disappeared completely. From then on, the British army had to carry lemons on long voyages, and the strange disease never happened again. Because lemon has the miraculous effect of curing strange diseases, it greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of the British Navy.
After the 18th century, the British gradually ruled 1/4 of the world's population, occupying 20% of the world's territory, distributed in 10 world and 24 time zones. This lemon has made the empire of the sun never sets in the true sense. Later, this strange disease was called scurvy. At the same time, scientists also isolated a key substance from lemons. This substance is named ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C. It is the lack of vitamin C that causes scurvy in seafarers, which can be prevented and cured through supplementation. Humans have truly unlocked the secret of lemon healing.
Vitamin C is one of the first nutrients to be clearly discovered in recorded human history and has been shown to prevent and treat disease. The mainland Ministry of Health clearly stipulates that 42 essential nutrients, short-term deficiency of any one will lead to disease, long-term deficiency will lead to death. Practice has proved that diseases caused by nutrient deficiencies can only be treated by relying on nutrients. Other ways are not feasible.
