It’s time for a much needed vitamin C boost

Vitamin C is essential for maintaining good health including development of scar tissue. In fact, not getting enough of the vitamin can lead to anaemia, joint pain and infection. Female adults need about 75mg a day, although this depends on your age.

While there are plenty of supplements you can take with the vitamin, it is possible to get enough solely from consuming food.

However, when it comes to food, do you know which are the best sources?

Here are 20 foods you need to put into your diet to ensure you are getting enough vitamin C:

1. Peppers
2. Blueberries
3. Figs
4. Apple Watermelon
5. Banana
6. Guavas
7. Cranberries
8. Blackberries
9. Mangos
10. Kiwis
11. Spinach

13. Tomatoes – we were surprised at this as well.
14. Peas
15. Broccoli
16. Lemons
17. Raspberries
