STAY HEALTHY THIS WINTER // 6 vitamin C rich foods to add to your grocery list🍓🥬🍊

Thanks to social distancing and increased hygiene practices all around due to COVID, it may be a whole lot easier to stay flu-free this winter at least. In saying that, an annoying cold or the flu can creep up on you at any time and have you bedridden or in iso at home for days on end, so it’s always better to be prepared.

A handy little trick to kick your sniffles to the kerb and help you remain healthy this winter is to up your intake of nature’s immunity booster - Vitamin C. Taking a C supplement is an effective way to do this, but consuming Vitamin C through your diet is essential to support your immune system. Wanna know exactly which foods are high in Vitamin C? Here are six common food items to add to your grocery list –

Everyone knows oranges are an amazing source of Vitamin C, but other citrus fruits like lemons, grapefruits and mandarins also boast high amounts of Vitamin C AND water content, meaning not only do they help give your immune system a boost, but they also help keep you hydrated, and we all know how important it is to stay hydrated in winter! 🍊💦

Plus, they taste heavenly, so who wouldn’t wanna eat them every day? Well, most people aren’t fond of straight up eating lemons (nor are we encouraging that), but you can still easily incorporate them into your daily diet by adding a few slices or just the juice of this wonderful fruit into your water or tea 🍋☕


Perfect by themselves as a snack or to add to salads, soups or stir-fries, capsicum is another staple to add your grocery list 📝
