Get Your Vitamin C

Fall is a great time get in your Vitamin C!  I'm not much for taking pills and remembering to take something on a daily basis is just not going to happen.  Brushing my teeth and taking a bath are about the only things I think gets done on a daily basis! I was reading an article about Vitamin C and how important it is for:  Immune Support, Allergy Support, Healing, Eye Health, Respiratory Health, Heart Health, Stabilizing Blook Glucose Levels, Digestive Health and much more. 

Several Sources for Vitamin C are available during this time of year:

1.  Mango
2.  Red and Green Peppers
3.  Strawberries
4.  Leafy greens, including Kale and Spinach
5.  Sweet Potatoes
6.  Cantaloupe
7.  Pineapple
8.  Tomatoes
9.  Kiwi
10. Citrus fruits

We can eat our Vitamin C and get all of our daily fiber requirements at the same time!  It's best to get Vitamin C through a healthy diet of fresh, whole foods.  Adult recommended daily intake is 75 mg for women and 90 mg for men; taking over 2,000 mg a day is not recommended, as it can cause stomach issues.  My children well know this after gorging on satsumas which are now in season!  I pray you have a blessed day!
