Florida Oranges are the Perfect Sweet Treat for Everyone

If you want to start eating healthy and you want to get your family eating healthy replace the sugary and fried snacks and treats in your home with Florida oranges. Florida oranges are inexpensive compared to the high cost of potato chips, candy, and other treats, especially when you buy them in bulk. Because oranges are easy to store and will stay fresh and delicious for a long time they are perfect for any household. You can even share boxes of Florida oranges with your friends, family or neighbors to lower the cost of buying the oranges. When you have oranges in the house you will always have a sweet treat available whenever you or a loved one has a craving for something sweet and best of all oranges are healthy.

Oranges are packed with vitamins and minerals that everyone needs to stay healthy. Kids especially will benefit from eating oranges as treats instead of chocolate or other packaged treats because oranges and other citrus fruits contain a lot of iron, which kids need in order for their brains to develop as quickly as their bodies. During growth spurts it’s common for kids to become anemic because they use up so much iron during the growth process. Make sure that your kids are getting enough iron to support healthy development by feeding them oranges and sweet grapefruits as treats. Kids also need the extra Vitamin C that oranges have in order to keep their immune systems working at full capacity. Kids are surrounded by germs all day everyday and a weak immune system means that your kids will get sick more often.

But the biggest reason why Florida oranges are the perfect sweet treat for everyone is because they contain the right amount of natural sugar so everyone can eat them. Some people choose not to eat refined sugar, some people can’t have sugar because they have a health condition affected by sugar. Processed sugar or artificial sweeteners can make some people sick, but no one gets sick eating oranges. The natural sucrose in oranges is easily broken down by the body and can actually help you maintain an even blood sugar level. Maintaining an even blood sugar level will keep you mentally alert throughout the day and eliminate any sleepiness, sugar rushes or sugar crashes. Kids who have ADD or adults who have diabetes can benefit greatly by eating Florida oranges or grapefruits as snacks.
