These 11 Foods Help You Destroy Germs and Viruses, Science Says
For healthy cells and healing: Citrus
Although our bodies produce certain nutrients naturally, vitamin C isn’t one of them – and trust me, you really need it.
Firstly, this water-soluble nutrient protects healthy cells inside your body from external damage. Vitamin C is basically an antioxidant that protects you from toxic free radicals (compounds found in the environment that increase your risk of cancer or heart disease).
Additionally, this wonder vitamin is also essential to help your body produce collagen. Collagen keeps your joints strong and boosts skin elasticity, thus reducing unpleasant aging signs.
The best part? You can get your daily dose of vitamin C just by drinking a small glass of fresh orange juice (or eating a whole grapefruit) daily. If you’re not into those foods, note that lemons, limes, tangerines and clementines have the same positive impact.
