A Fruit Basket for the Holidays Keeps the Doctor Away

If there is a healthier gift for the holiday season than a citrus fruit basket, we have not heard about it. Fresh citrus fruit baskets contain a wealth of nutrition, vibrancy, and energy packed into their delicious citrus fruit contents.

We’re not saying that fresh citrus fruit baskets will make getting sick impossible, but fresh citrus fruit does contain the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients your body needs to stay strong and active. And every fresh citrus fruit basket contains a generous sampling of many different kinds of fruit or just one kind that’s to your liking, along with jams and marmalades made from the delicious fruit itself.

Fresh Citrus Fruits Deliver Vitamin C To You

One of the most important vitamins the human body needs to resist illness and stay strong and active is ascorbic acid, better known throughout the world as Vitamin C. It’s not really an exaggeration to say that fresh citrus fruit, in particular the orange, is nature’s guided missile of Vitamin C. Most varieties of orange contain as much as 45 milligrams of Vitamin C. That’s more than seventy five percent of the minimum recommended daily allowance of 60 milligrams, and almost half the adult maximum RDA of 90 milligrams. Eating as few as two oranges a day could give you more than enough Vitamin C to boost your immune system and keep you feeling energetic and relaxed.

The Benefits Don’t Stop With Vitamin C

At the same time, you’ll also take in strong but nourishing doses of important minerals that your body needs like calcium and a good dosage of fiber, as well. Calcium is a crucial building block for good bones and teeth, while fiber helps the body’s digestive system but also contributes to developing and maintaining strong muscle and tissue health.

Fruit Baskets Are A Springboard To A Better Life

With the new year fast approaching, treating your friends and family or even just treating yourself to all the health benefits of a delicious citrus fruit basket is a great way to start the year off on a healthy note. The fresh citrus fruit will boost the immune system during the harsh days of deepest winter and eating the healthy and delicious fresh citrus fruit will also help create a new and healthier eating routine. So fresh citrus fruit baskets don’t just help you extend your life and health, they even open the door to that new and healthier life, too.
