Build a Healthy Immune System with Florida Oranges

If you live in regions that experience substantial fluctuations in weather, it is important to make sure you maintain a healthy immune system. Instead of relying on artificial Vitamin C in tablet or capsule form, develop the habit of eating fresh Florida oranges every day. Not only do Florida oranges taste better than Vitamin C tablets, they are more abundant in the things you really need-Vitamin C AND antioxidants. Why would anyone want to swallow a pill when they can consume a sweet and juicy Florida orange?

Florida oranges do not have to be consumed whole but can be prepared in many different ways including in the form of freshly squeezed orange juice, a much healthier product that buying concentrated juice in the grocery store. While you make read some labels that state it is 100 percent pure juice from Florida oranges, the only way you know that for certain is if you squeeze it yourself. Only you know what you included in your juice and whether you added any additional sugar, something that is unnecessary since Florida oranges are naturally sweet. In addition, when you make juice from Florida oranges there is no need for preservatives since it will be going from your refrigerator to table in a short period of time.

If you are not someone who is fond of Florida oranges, you can still obtain the same wonderful flavor if you mix the Florida oranges with other fruits in the form of a tropical fruit or citrus salad. You can cut up some Florida oranges into small sections in order to reduce the amount of acidity from the oranges, the main reason many people avoid eating Florida oranges. Of course, this will not work for those who have health conditions that preclude them from eating any kind of citrus fruit, but for those who just don’t like the sometimes tart flavor that sometimes accompanies Florida oranges adding other fruits will solve the problem.

Florida oranges also make perfect additions to edible arrangements. You can either grate the peel and add it for color or you can slice the Florida oranges and place them among the other fruits you are using to form the arrangement. It doesn’t matter how you choose to use Florida oranges-the important thing is to add this very healthy fruit into your diet instead of taking it in its artificial form.
