Hi I'm Dee. I'm 23 and married. I've worked in health care as well as office settings but am now a home-maker. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of subjects but don't mind doing a little research if asked about something I don't know about. Most of my friends come to me for advice. I read several advice columns and would like to help you also. I'm not judgemental. Your life is yours to live it as you choose. I believe asking for advice is good, but ultimately the choice is yours. You WILL NOT find a hurtful or smartass answer here.
If you have a question that you would like to keep private, you can email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant (see Vitamin A) and prevents the appearance of broken blood vessels. You get it through eating fruits, especially citrus fruits, and colorful vegetables (broccoli, peppers, etc). The link below has a more complete list.

Vitamin E is also an antioxidant which also reduces inflammation of the skin. You can get it by eating foods prepared in some oils (corn, sunflower, peanut and olive oil for a few), nuts and vegetables. For a more complete list, see the link below.
