Fight the Flu with Navel Oranges
Flu season is on the way and one of the best weapons against the flu is navel oranges. The flu is more than just an inconvenience. Some strains of the flu virus can be very serious or even deadly. Anyone who has a compromised immune system, like children or the elderly, has a much greater risk of developing flu complications that can do long term damage to their health. Flu vaccines are expensive and there are often not enough to go around. Even if you get the vaccine you may still get the flu because there are so many different strains of flu. Your best defense against the flu is having a strong immune system and keeping yourself healthy. Eating navel oranges everyday will keep your immune system in top shape. The vitamins and minerals in navel oranges and other citrus fruits will also help your body’s circulation and pump fresh oxygen to your cells which can help you stay healthy. Navel oranges have around 80 calories so you don’t even need to worry about gaining weight. Add two navel oranges to your daily diet and you will be ready to take on any strain of the flu.
Getting enough rest, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise are all important parts of staying healthy so you can fight off the flu. Navel oranges, grapefruits, and other citrus fruits all contain Vitamin C and other vitamins that will boost your immune system. So if you’re worried that you’ll get tired of eating navel oranges every day buy some tangerines, grapefruit, or other citrus fruit along with oranges so that you can have a variety of citrus fruits to choose from each day. Eating citrus fruit is the number one recommendation of doctors if you want to stay healthy and make sure that you don’t catch the flu. There is no way to vaccinate against all the different flu strains that are out there so if you want to make it through this winter without getting the flu even once your best bet is to keep your immune system strong.
The flu is everywhere during this time of year. Kids spread viruses everywhere, and people who are out traveling for the holidays can bring strains of flu from one region to another. If you don’t want to get sidelined by the flu stock up on navel oranges today and start eating them every day.
