Vitamin C from food is much more beneficial to the body than isolating it in supplements (ie: ascorbic acid). Vitamin C from foods such as oranges, provides more protective benefits than consuming the supplement on its own. This salad is a great way to incorporate some Vitamin C into your diet. Vitamin C provides great antioxidant protection and immune support. Oranges are a great source of fiber, they help prevent ulcers and reduce stomach cancers. Plenty of reasons to consume an orange a day! (courtesy of whfoods.org)
