Navel Oranges are the Key to Winter Health

If you want to stay healthy this winter stock up on navel oranges now. The trick to staying healthy no matter how bad the winter weather is and no matter how many people around you get sick is to build up your immune system and keep it strong for the entire winter. If your immune system stays strong your body can naturally fight off colds and the flu no matter how many times you’re exposed to it. When winter comes illness is everywhere. At work, at home, out shopping, anywhere you go you’re risking exposure to others who are sick and spreading germs. Keeping sanitizer with you at all times is a good weapon to use against germs but at the end of the day nothing beats eating a healthy diet, getting enough rest, and boosting your immune system with navel oranges and other citrus fruits.

Citrus fruits like navel oranges and tangerines and grapefruits all contain concentrated doses of Vitamin C and the B Complex vitamins that your body needs to stay healthy. By boosting your immune system with fresh citrus fruit early on you are supercharging your immune system so that it can defeat any germs or illnesses that attack you. If you can prevent yourself from catching colds or the flu you won’t have to worry about getting sick, missing work, or feeling miserable for a week for more. Since the people all around you could be carrying germs you should always have some navel oranges with you and eat citrus fruit at least twice a day. It’s not hard to work citrus fruit into your daily diet. Just substitute an orange for your afternoon candy bar or have a grapefruit with your breakfast. Citrus fruits are low in calorie so you don’t have to worry about eating too many additional calories in order to stay healthy.

If you find yourself sniffling or coming down with symptoms of a cold or the flu then it’s time to go into citrus fruit overdrive. Eating three or more navel oranges a day will give your immune system a turbo boost it can use to kick out any germs that might be making you sick. Simply adding rich, sweet and healthy navel oranges and other citrus fruits to your diet is enough to keep you healthy this winter. So stock up on citrus fruit and skip the doctor’s office this winter.
