2. Oranges and other citrus fruit
Oranges are high in Vitamin C, with one small orange providing 85 percent of your daily requirement. Vitamin C is well-known for its ability to combat the common cold. Why? Not only is this vitamin a vitamin, but it’s also an antioxidant that fights sickness, illness, and even free radicals that damage the skin.
Conversely, a deficiency in Vitamin C is a well-known cause of scurvy, a disease that produces skin lesions, makes your skin more prone to bruising, and causes it to recover more slowly. Vitamin C has been shown to have “anti-scurvy qualities” that increase collagen in the skin, according to a study.
So, if you want good skin, peel an orange, squeeze some lemon in your drink, or add a lime to your salad.
