How to Add Vitamin C Into Your Diet Without Supplements

It is important to have plenty of vitamin C in your diet. Getting vitamin C in the form of a supplement may be easy but it's not necessarily the best way to do so. Here is how to add vitamin C into your diet without supplements.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Eat a breakfast made up of grapefruit and fresh orange juice. This is a filling breakfast that is full of vitamin C.

2. Have some mango as a snack between breakfast and lunch. This is healthier than a normal snack as mango is an excellent source of vitamin C.

3. At lunchtime, have some cantaloupe as a dessert instead of a sweet. Cantaloupe is a very good source of vitamin C and can be a great treat as well.

4. If you eat a salad during lunch or dinner, place plenty of tomatoes on the salad. You may be surprised with the amount of vitamin C found in tomatoes. They are a great way to add vitamin C to what could be a regular part of your meal.

5. Eat raspberries as a snack in between your dinner and bedtime. Not only are raspberries full of vitamin C, they are also a healthier alternative to other snacks that you may normally have before going to sleep.

6. Drink a glass of orange juice before going to sleep. An 8-ounce glass of fresh orange juice can actually give you the daily recommended intake of vitamin C. Finishing your day with a glass of orange juice will keep your body full of vitamin C until you eat another meal.
