Add Some Vitamin C to Your Diet.

Vitamin C is known for its strength in battling sickness and infection. Its anti-oxidant powers make it a key ingredient in any diet. Vitamin C is essential in the process of growing and building tissue. Vitamin C can not be produced or stored by your body so getting vitamin C every day is very important.

Citrus fruits are perhaps the most common source of Vitamin C but it can be found in almost all fruits and vegetables. Here are a few ways to add some vitamin C to your recipes and you diet.

• Use green peppers to add some crunch to a salad or flavor to a stir fry.
• Add sliced strawberries to your morning oatmeal or cereal.
• Pick up a package of grape tomatoes for a tasty snack.
• Top a sweet ice cream treat with raspberries and blueberries
• Switch out a soda for a sweet glass of orange juice.
• Toss some dried cranberries on a salad for a tart topping.
• Keep crunchy broccoli and cauliflower handy for a midday snack.
• Toss some mango chunks in your favorite smoothie.
• Change up your salad by using spinach instead of iceberg lettuce.
• Serve up a slice of cantaloupe with your morning muffin.

Try a few, or try them all and keep your diet full of vitamin C.
