Increase Vitamin C to Help Fight Allergies

One way to help fight allergies naturally is to turn to Vitamin C. Research has shown that an intake of 500 mg (milligrams) of Vitamin C a day can help ease allergy symptoms. So how can you do this? Consider whole food sources to meet your daily Vitamin C requirements. Good sources include broccoli, oranges, grapefruits, and lemons. Adding these simple foods to to your diet daily may provide you with the relief you need!

FYI:
-Half of a large grapefruit contains around 60 mg of Vitamin C.
-One cup of broccoli has around 80 mg of Vitamin C.
