Desoto County Extension Office - Did You Know Broccoli Contains More Vitamin C Than Oranges?

Today is a great day to set new goals and to implement new habits to get healthy.  For the next 12 days, we will challenge our community to support each other and to get healthy and moving by walking 1 mile each day and eating 1 serving of vegetables every day!

Did you know broccoli contains more Vitamin C than oranges?  Yes, you read it right broccoli wins! Before you turn to oranges as your go-to food for Vitamin C give broccoli a try. Just 1 cup of broccoli provides almost 90% of your body’s Vitamin C daily requirements. 

Walking is a great exercise whether you are beginning your fitness journey or have been fit and active for many years.  Having a busy day? Walk half a mile before going to work and half right after you get back.

Don’t wait until tomorrow; start improving your health now! Share pictures in the comments!
