Many fruits contain Vitamin C, nature’s therapeutic powerhouse.
You’ve heard about Vitamin C’s benefits to the body, including its energy-giving properties and help in fighting off disease. But did you know that vitamin C also contains many important antioxidants, which help prevent diabetes, heart disease, and even some forms of cancer. Vitamin C is found in almost all citrus fruits, including oranges, grapefruits, tangelos, lemons and limes. Other sources of Vitamin C include strawberries, broccoli, tomatoes, and green leafy vegetables.
Vitamin A is also an important source of health and vitality.
Though not as famous as Vitamin C, Vitamin A – sometimes also referred to as retinol – is a crucial building block for bone and muscles construction. Sustained recommended daily intake of retinol helps the body quickly repair muscle and bone damage caused by strenuous exercise or even day to day living.
Vitamin A is found not just in vegetables but also in mangos, kiwi, papaya, winter squash, cantaloupe, cantaloupe melons, and several other kinds of fruit. It’s also found in many other kinds of food, including leafy vegetables and pumpkin.
Many citrus fruits, especially oranges, contain both one of the vitamins listed above with nutrients such as niacin, magnesium, potassium, and folic acid. These other nutrients can augment and reinforce the vitamins’ therapeutic benefits, for a one-two punch of health in every bite of fruit. Gift baskets and assorted gift baskets contain many different kinds of fruit, meaning there’s a legion of vitamins and healthy benefits packed inside each one.
