Oranges

"Oranges, like cara cara, are a great anti-inflammatory food, largely in part [due] to their stellar vitamin C content. Vitamin C, as I'm sure you've heard, is a wonderful antioxidant that should be consumed in REAL FOOD form, instead of relying on those OTC supplements often sold to banish a cold," says Shaw. Plus, "Research has shown that not only does vitamin C provide anti-inflammatory benefits, but also antioxidant, anticancer, as well as cardioprotective and neuroprotective benefits," she says. Add them to juices and smoothies, make a glaze or sauce for meats and fish, use them in a homemade salad dressing, or just eat them plain.
