How to Derive the Most Benefits from Florida Oranges
Florida oranges have a substantial amount of vitamins and antioxidants, especially Vitamin C. While it is certainly feasible for an individual to obtain these nutrients by taking vitamin capsules, that is not the most natural way to absorb these essential nutrients. In addition, Florida oranges also contain many other nutrients you will not find in the average vitamin capsule including those that contain cancer-fighting properties. In addition, there are many different components in Florida oranges and other fruits that you will not find in the average vitamin capsule. That doesn’t mean you should completely forego taking vitamin capsules and other dietary supplements, but you should definitely use them as they were originally intended: to supplement the food in your diet rather than replace it.
Many people make the mistake of thinking they can derive just as many benefits by taking vitamin capsules as they can by eating Florida oranges, but nothing could be farther from the truth. As consumers we do not know each and every component in any of the foods we eat, so we are possibly (and more likely probably) depriving ourselves of many essential nutrients if we rely on vitamin supplements instead of eating Florida oranges. Unless someone has a health condition that precludes him or her from eating Florida oranges, there is no justifiable cause to choose vitamin capsules over fresh Florida oranges.
It seems rather strange that so many people would choose vitamin capsules over actually eating fresh and natural Florida oranges, yet these same people would probably choose organic meats and vegetables. That doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with choosing organic foods-certainly they are better for you-but if you prefer organic foods, why would you choose vitamin capsules over fresh Florida oranges? There are so many different ways to eat Florida oranges that even those who have an aversion to the taste of oranges would not mind the taste when mixed with other fruits.
If you think vitamin capsules will provide the same benefits as fresh Florida oranges, you should conduct some of your own research. Compare the nutrients that are present in fresh Florida oranges with those you find in vitamin capsules-see if you can even find all of those nutrients in vitamin and mineral capsules. You will also discover how many of those nutrients actually work better when they enter the body in natural form instead of capsule form.
