#3 Potatoes
After your dose up of beta-carotene and recent talks with my doctors about Vitamin C I wanted to introduce potatoes today.
Potatoes are full of vitamin C – in fact, it’s one of the cheapest ways to get your daily dose of vitamin c and keep your immune system in top shape. The best part of the potato is the skin, which is full of fibre, helping keep your cholesterol down and assist in digestion.
B6 is also another helpful vitamin found in potatoes that help make immunity boosting amino acids in the body
