This is one of my favorite superfoods. It’s so simple, so basic, but it’s also one of the most powerful foods when it comes to boosting your immune system. And it’s definitely not what you think. Oranges have a lot of vitamin C, right? Well, this has even more. It’s a red bell pepper. It’s crunchy. It’s sweet. It’s a little bit spicy. It’s got more than twice the amount of vitamin C that an orange has. But vitamin C does so much more. It’s involved in over 400 different biochemical reactions in the body, including the production of collagen, which is a protein that helps to keep your skin looking young and youthful. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect against free radicals, which are kind of like these little agents of chaos that can damage your cells and make you feel like crap.
