Vitamin C is the Bee’s Knees
Achy knees? Sore fingers? Troublesome elbow? Grab an orange.
A recent Australian study has shown that the more Vitamin C we consume as adults, the less likely we are to develop the bone and tissue problems that can ultimately lead to arthritis.
And since 25% of women go on to develop arthritis, adding C Vitamins to your diet seems like a good strategy. Smart places to get yours:
- Peppers (red, yellow and green)
- Exotic fruits such as Kiwi, Guava, Papaya, Mango
- Berries such as Raspberries and Strawberries
- Melons such as Cantaloupe and Honeydew
- Citrus fruits such as Oranges, Grapefruits, Lemons and Tangerines
- Green veggies such as Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts and Spinach
- Other veggies such as Cauliflower, Cabbage, Tomatoes and Potatoes
- Surprise sources such as Kellogg’s Product 19 Cereal, General Mills Whole Grain Total Cereal and Tomato Soup
So do something good for your bod and make Mama proud by eating those fruits and veggies - your knees may someday thank you, too.
Happy Weekend!
