Safeguard your immunity....this fall

What a weather here in Atlanta....while enjoying coffee sitting on my favorite easy chair, I noticed drops on the window panes. Seems like the weather is playing hide and seek this December. Hmmm...but what ideally comes in my mind is how will our health react to this change. As we always hear and say that "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", in the same manner the strong immunity of our body fights against the outside invading disease and keeps us away from seeing a doctor. But even our immunity needs something to get that extra boost in order to excel in its function. What I am talking about is a dose of Vitamin C through diet. Vitamin C is water soluble vitamin very important for our body immunity and germ fighting property.

It's important to know the sources through which we get  an ample amount of vitamin c that will suffice our requirements. Rather than jumping onto the supplemental sources, we should always try to get it through the natural sources. Foods like citrus fruits ( oranges, strawberries, kiwis, cherries), colored vegetables like bell peppers, tomato, olives etc.

One more thing to be noted not only does this vitamin is important for our immunity but also deals with healing power for the wounds. For it's better absorption and functioning it is important to include minerals like iron and calcium.  So guys use this short but valuable information which will let you enjoy this season keeping in mind your health.
