Oranges may be the go-to fruit for Vitamin C, but did you know that other foods can offer even more of this immune-boosting nutrient? Red peppers, kiwi, broccoli, and strawberries are just a few examples of Vitamin C-rich foods that can support your immune system. Incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet ensures you’re getting a broad spectrum of nutrients.

Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet, not just for physical health but for mental clarity and emotional well-being. When we nourish our bodies with vibrant, nutrient-dense foods, we feel energized, focused, and ready to take on the day.

Next time you need a Vitamin C boost, skip the orange and try one of these power-packed alternatives! Your body (and your taste buds) will thank you. πŸ“πŸ
