One fresh squeezed orange a day can give you the
energy boost you need to get started more than a glass of concentrated or
premium orange juice in a container.
A great energy booster and
alternative to a cup of coffee is a fresh squeezed orange with a B vitamin upon
rising. By the time you get dressed and
ready for breakfast you will feel a burst of energy that is natural.
This is because you are
getting fresh vitamin C along with your B vitamin, and the benefit of the
enzymes of the orange. When you eat a
piece of fresh fruit the enzymes in the fruit – enzymes are catalysts which
begin reactions within your cells- it improves your daily functions. Your digestion is improved, as absorption of
the vitamins is immediate. Vitamin C
also has anti-inflammatory properties.
The white part of the orange
is the bioflavonoid, which helps your blood clot, and thus improves the look of
your skin. If you bruise easily, it can
be a sign of bioflavonoid deficiency.
Squeeze some orange peel for
a natural aromatic bath into your bath water.
Dry the peels and add to dried rose petals for a natural potpourri.
