One of the best ways to fight off illness is to eat a healthy diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and protein. Increasing your intake of Vitamin C is another reliable way to fight off infections. Although oranges are thought to be high in Vitamin C in fact peppers have a much higher concentration than oranges or orange juice. Oranges are also high in sugar which is not ideal.
Yellow peppers have the highest concentration of vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable. The next highest is red peppers and then green. Guavas, leafy green vegetables, kiwis, strawberries and broccoli are also very high in vitamin C.
On a rainy and cold day like today a big dose of Vitamin C could be your secret weapon for fighting off any nasty Spring colds.
If you would like to supplement your diet in pill form try Vitamin C with Echinacea which offers two immune boosters in one. Juicing is always a great way to get a high dose of vitamins and minerals from a wide variety fruit and veg. Make up your own special recipe designed to meet your needs and preferences.
