Pure Orange Juice
There is nothing quite like a glass of pure orange juice for an ultimate boost of vitamin C. Not only is this simple recipe perfect for boosting the immune system, but it’s a wonderful mood elevator. This juice aids in the treatment for anxiety, stress and even depression. The link between vitamin C and depression is largely due to the fact that it helps top up neurotransmitter levels. Furthermore, Vitamin C helps produce carnitine, which helps your body burn fat for energy.
