Citrus fruits are popularly consumed to help tackle that pesky cold due to their rich source of vitamin C. However, the benefit of these delicious fruits go beyond fighting off the flu. This vitamin increases the production of white blood cells, which helps to give your immune system a boost and tackle infections. You need to consume it as often as you can as your body does not produce or store the vitamin. Make citrus fruits part of your daily diet.Grapefruit, clementines, oranges, tangerines, lemons and limes are some of the fruits you can try.
