RealAge Tip of the Day

Extra, Extra

Are you satisfied with 100%? When it comes to the recommended dietary

allowance (RDA) of vitamin C, you probably shouldn't be.

A serving of orange juice may deliver 100% of the RDA of vitamin C, but the

RDA is only 75-90 milligrams. You need much more vitamin C than that for

optimum health. Increase your intake by adding a vitamin C supplement to

your diet, or by eating more vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, such as

strawberries and red bell peppers.

RealAge Benefit: Getting up to 1,200 milligrams of vitamin C per day from

food and supplements can make your RealAge as much as 1 year younger.
