HEALTH TIP

Vitamin C: An essential nutrient

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that supports normal growth and development and helps your body absorb iron. Because your body doesn't produce or store vitamin C, it's important to include vitamin C in your diet. For most people, an orange or 1 cup of strawberries, chopped red pepper, or broccoli provides enough vitamin C for the day.
