Citrus fruit
Citrus fruit It's true that citric fruits such as oranges are excellent immune system fighters, thanks to the fact that they're rich in vitamin C. In fact, one orange alone — which contains 70 mg of vitamin C — is almost enough to satisfy the daily recommended amount for women (75 mg/day) and men (90 mg/day).

"While vitamin C won't prevent you from getting sick, studies have shown that getting enough vitamin C may shorten the length of a cold by a day. Incorporate a piece of citrus fruit into meals daily," says Frances Largeman-Roth, RDN, author of Eating in Color. "Easy to peel mandarin oranges make an easy snack for kids and grown ups."
