Hip tea is a very good source of vitamin C. In some cases heat destroys this vitamin, for example if you put lemon in very hot tea. With hip is different because the high temperature of the water doesn't destroy vitamin C.
To make tea put 1 teaspoon of hip (dry, chopped) in a cup of boiled water, stir it and cover. After 10 minutes strain it. You can sweeten it with honey, when the tea is warm, not too hot.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, it prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol („bad one“), because of this it is recommended for clogged arteries and cardiovascular diseases (angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, etc). It is good in combination with vitamin E.
Vitamin C is also recommended for asthma, bronchitis, infertility in men, cancer, etc. Some studies show that vitamin C prevents the growth of HIV virus.
Paprikas, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, coliflower, strawberries, spinach and citrus fruits are also recommended as a source of vitamin C.
