Get Great Tips

The Parents Connect website from Nickelodeon is a great website for parental tips, advice, recipes, and more.

One tip I found interesting for this winter season is the top fruits that have
vitamin C.

Here they are:



Oranges & Orange Juice have 116% of kid's daily vitamin C needs. The best way to have orange juice is from concentrate, it has more vitamin C and is cheaper.







    Strawberries have more vitamin C than oranges.









Green & Red Peppers have vitamins A & C and beta carotene (also helpful with a cold).










Tomatoes eaten any way: fresh, canned, & juiced.









Spinach has vitamin C & iron.








Collard Greens have vitamin C & help boost the immune system.






    Potatoes are full of vitamin C & leaving the skin on is even better.




Broccoli is best when steamed.










I really like all that I've seen so far on this website. Check it out. I will occasionally check the site for updates and other things I find worth sharing.
