There are a lot of steps we all take in the morning to make sure our day ahead is a good one. For most of us, this includes a warm shower, a delicious cup of coffee and maybe a nice breakfast. But there is one more thing you can add into your morning routine to ensure you have the best day possible: a daily vitamin that helps boost energy levels so you feel alive and ready throughout your day.
You should start your day with a healthy dose of vitamin C. This anti-inflammatory vitamin is best known for its immune support benefits, but its perks go way deeper than that.
Vitamin C fights inflammation throughout the body, and as a result it can help with improving cell function and helping support your memory and thinking skills as you age. Not to mention the vitamin's rich anti-aging benefits that can help stimulate collagen production to promote healthy joints and youthful-looking skin.

How To Get More Vitamin C In Your Diet
As with all vitamins and supplements, the best way to increase your vitamin C intake is through food. Luckily, there are many foods high in this anti-inflammatory, including citrus fruits like grapefruit and oranges, as well as vegetables like spinach, broccoli, bell peppers and tomatoes. You can also try taking vitamin C supplements with your breakfast.
