Having gotten my fair share of Vitamin D between BBQ's and Bike Rides this weekend, I wanted to make sure that I did not let my Vitamin C intake fall to the wayside. Although predominantly supplemented during the winter, Vitamin C is an integral part of body functionality. When taken in appropriate doses, this vitamin can help cure skin problems, help heal wounds, protect against the ill effects of stress and improve blood flow.
Rather than taking a supplement, red and green peppers, grapefruits, brussels sprouts and of course oranges can help amp up Vitamin C levels. Knowing these sources, "Orange" you glad that that you can enjoy the homemade sweets shown above ;)*
*A serving of my Orange Sugar Cookies will not provide the daily recommendation of 75 - 90 mg of Vitamin C
