Between worrying about COVID-19 and the onset of springtime allergies, it's more important than ever to keep your immune system strong and protect yourself from any potential infections. One way to do that is by adding vitamin-C-rich foods to your daily diet.

"Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, most known for supporting your immune system," board-certified physician Bindiya Gandhi, M.D., tells mindbodygreen. The nutrient, also known as ascorbic acid, has been shown to enhance immune functioning.

Антиоксидантҳо дар витамини С ба ин тавассути коҳиш додани илтиҳоб, мубориза бо радикалҳои озод ва беҳтар кардани ҳуҷайраҳои сафеди хун мусоидат мекунанд. Барои фоидаи иловагӣ, витамини C пиронсолии солимро тавассути идоракунии таъсири стресси оксидӣ дастгирӣ мекунад.
