Warning
Never change your diet without first consulting your physician.

Step 1: Eat fruit
Eat citrus fruit, like oranges and grapefruits, and squeeze lemon and lime juice over cooked dishes like chicken. Other fruits high in C include strawberries, kiwi, mango, and cantaloupe.

Step 2: Make a salad
Make a salad with dark, leafy greens like spinach and kale, which are loaded with C. Top it with a citrus vinaigrette for an added C boost.

Step 3: Get your veggies
Get several daily servings of veggies like tomatoes, broccoli, and cabbage. And choose sweet red, orange, and yellow peppers, which have double the vitamin C of green peppers.

Tip
Eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily will ensure you get the recommended allowance of vitamin C.

Step 4: Think outside the box
Think outside the box by trying more obscure vegetables like jicama, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, and water chestnuts.

Step 5: Have a potato
Have a baked potato. At 25 milligrams, it has nearly half the FDA recommended daily allowance of 60 milligrams of vitamin C. And keep the skin on to get the most nutrients.

Step 6: Look for fortified foods
Look for vitamin C-fortified foods, such as fortified breads, grains, and breakfast cereals.

Did You Know?
Did you know? Two-time Nobel Prize-winning chemist and physicist Linus Pauling popularized the use of vitamin C to battle colds and other illnesses.

    My first thought was :

    Step 1. Bite into orange.

    Step 2. Swallow.

    Step 3. Repeat with another fruit with Vitiman C.

    Step 4. You have now ate more foods with Vitamin C !

    ... yeah , that sounds so stupid.

    Then I watched the video , and I get it now. :P

    Your body does need it, because your body does not create it...ok, so you may not die from not ingesting regular vitamin C, but vitamin C helps your cells from pre-mature Aging, meaning just that. also very good for skin eyes hair, and especially your immune system. You don't " NEEED " but if you do incorporate C into, your diet....it can only do good. But maybe you havn't gotten sick because you just have an overal healthy body :P

    It's probably best that you not "Eat " them....but maybe blend them in a juicer...Those foods, although very healthy, are very bad for your teeth and will make them break down faster than sugar.

    it works better if you get it from food than from vitamin tablets. vitamin tablets from my understanding are like trying to fill up a stadium with scarecrows cause your short on people to watch the game, much better to have real fans cheering you on than bags of straw. vitamins work better if they are from living organic things. like oranges and apples and bananas
