Honeybells Keep You Moving
When you exercise, what’s the best way to replenish your body’s electrolytes and keep your metabolism working hard? Fresh citrus fruit or fresh citrus juice. Besides expensive and bulky sports drinks, most athletes turn to the nourishing and rejuvenating array of fresh fruit juices to help keep their body in maximum condition. Fresh fruit juices, especially citrus fruit juices, are so popular for one very important set of reasons: their ingredients!
Citrus Fruit Juices Bring the Citrus Fruit Nutrition
It’s no secret that most citrus fruits are treasure troves of vitamins, minerals, and a host of nutrients that the body needs to remain active and vibrant regardless of age or lifestyle. Citrus fruit juices, like the kind taken from the citrus fruits found in many kinds of assorted gift baskets, help the body not just to recover but also to more efficiently develop its muscles and bones. When you drink fresh citrus fruit juice after a workout or other exercise routine, you keep your body recharged and replenished with fuels and “building blocks” it needs.
The calcium and nutrients in fresh citrus fruits also helps your body repair damaged tissues and muscles. Among their many other benefits, fresh citrus fruits are rich in calcium and fiber. All three are absolutely necessary to improve bone density and health, build muscle mass and tissue density, and to help the body better process waste materials.
Calcium, protein, and fiber are especially prevalent in the “orange” citrus fruits, such as navel oranges, mandarin oranges, and the exciting grapefruit and tangerine hybrid known as the Honeybell orange. Eating just two or three servings of these citrus fruits per day is a perfect way to achieve your recommended daily allowance of Vitamins A and C, as well as several other important nutritional supplements such as folate, niacin, and zinc.
Citrus Fruits Are Best Served In Baskets
Fresh citrus fruits are available by themselves, but for maximum value and convenience of use there’s no substitute for the traditional, modern fruit basket. Assorted fruit gift baskets contain a host of fresh citrus fruits and other fruit-based luxuries, such as marmalades and jams, at prices that are surprisingly affordable. For those exercise enthusiasts working out indoors during the cold winter months, fruit baskets are a great way to take advantage of the holiday season’s special pricing and delivery options. Stocking up on fresh fruit now makes great economic sense for the cold winter months to come. Just be sure to allow ample time for delivery, as the holiday shopping rush can sometimes affect fruit gift basket delivery schedules.
