t's the sneezing season! Besides getting the flu shot, it's helpful to chow down on cold-and flu-fighting foods to protect yourself from circulating bugs that can make you sick.
Your top choice may be pink grapefruit, which packs 75 mg of vitamin C, a full day's worth for women, says health and nutrition expert Joy Bauer. It also contains an impressive amount of beta-carotene, which is converted by the body to vitamin A.

It also plays a role in keeping the mucous membranes that line the nose, sinuses and mouth healthy.
