Stay Healthy This Winter with Navel Oranges

This winter you can avoid catching colds and the flu by eating plenty of navel oranges. Like grapefruits and other citrus fruits navel oranges are packed with Vitamin C, which will help your immune system stay strong and healthy. The stronger you are before flu season starts the less likely it is that you will catch a lot of the colds and flu that will be going around. This is especially important if you work with the public, or if you have kids at home who can bring in germs from schools or playgrounds. Get healthy now, and then stay healthy by making fresh citrus fruit a part of your daily diet.

In addition to Vitamin C which helps keep your immune system strong navel oranges are also full of vitamins and minerals that will help keep your body running as efficiently as possible. The vitamins and minerals in oranges will help your cells flush out waste, help repair damaged cells, and help your body maintain healthy tissue and muscle. When your body is healthy it can fight off lots of different germs and viruses without exerting any effort at all so you won’t notice any change in your energy level or general health. In addition to eating navel oranges, grapefruit and other citrus fruits everyday if you don’t want to get the flu this winter you should:

Eat right – Eating fresh citrus fruit is a good start, but you also need to eat plenty of vegetables, lean protein and healthy fats to protect your body from illness. It can be hard to turn down a lot of holiday sweets and traditional holiday foods but limit yourself to small portions if you can’t skip them entirely. A healthy body needs healthy fuel.

Exercise- Your body is made to move. Even a thirty minute walk each day will help you feel better. It will also boost your serotonin levels and help keep you healthy. Muscles need to be worked in order to stay healthy and you can also help fight off those holiday pounds with a healthy exercise regimen.

Manage stress- Stress can build up and wear down your immune system even if you’re eating healthy navel oranges and a good diet. The holidays are very stressful even though they are fun so try to find ways to manage that stress now before the holidays hit. Meditation, hobbies, reading, and relaxing baths are all great ways to manage stress. Stay fit and stay healthy this year with fresh citrus fruit and some smart living.
