vitamin c for vitality

Adding foods rich in Vitamin C to your diet can have very powerful health benefits. For starters, it helps ward off pathogens, it is involved in collagen production (for healthy joints, blood vessels & skin), it protects against oxidation in the body (which can lead to disease), it helps neutralize pollutants, and it has natural antihistamine properties for those of you with allergies. One sign that you are not getting enough Vitamin C if you bruise easily.

Good sources of Vitamin C are some of the healthiest foods: berries, cantaloupe, mangoes, guava, and the citrus fruits. Try eating Vitamin C-rich foods a month before cold season starts to stave off colds and boost immunity.
