11. Oranges: They may not be very exciting or exotic, but this old standby sure lives up to its reputation as a healthy favorite.

Yet, even with its supposed popularity, Americans still are lacking in vitamin C. Because it is rapidly excreted from your body, constant replenishment is a must.

There's nothing wrong with a glass of OJ. But eating the orange is even better because its pulp has 10 times the vitamin C dosage found in the juice.
