Vitamin C reminder - Especially with these colder days, our immune system will always be thankful for a vitamin c boost 🍊🥦🥝🍅 Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is also used to aid in the absorption of iron. Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants. The body is not able to make vitamin C on its own, and it does not store vitamin C. It is therefore important to include plenty of vitamin C containing foods in your daily diet. All fruits and vegetables contain some amount of vitamin C. Fruits with the highest sources of vitamin C include: - Cantaloupe - Citrus fruits and juices, such as lemon, orange and grapefruit - Kiwi fruit - Mango - Papaya - Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries Veggies with the highest sources of vitamin C include: - Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower - Green and red peppers - Spinach, cabbage, turnip greens, and other leafy greens - Sweet and white potatoes - Tomatoes and tomato juice I also have a wonderful Metagentics Vitamin C supplement available for purchase if needed. Yours in health, Maria X
