Hi Steemit Family
🍊It is orange harvesting time and the haul this year is epic!
🍊 Fresh picked oranges are so delicious, so sweet, flavoursome and juicy! Not to mention the nutritional health benefits that go hand in hand with this fruity feast!
🍊 They are a great source of vitamin C,
overflowing with antioxidants which are essential for good health. Also rich in micronutrients such as folate and potassium. Orange juice helps strengthens the immune system.
🍊 Orange juice can raise the ph level of urine thus increasing alkalinity so helpful as anti acid and attributed benefits such as helping prevent kidney stones.
Drinking orange juice or eating fresh whole oranges helps maintain a healthy heart and bone formation and useful to ensure healthy fetal development.
🍊 Nothing compares to the sweet flavour of a fresh picked orange and having just juiced a few, my kitchen smells incredibly good.
On an aromatherapy level, Orange inspires feelings both relaxing and uplifting and can lower the pulse rate. It can eliminate air borne bacteria.
It is excellent for skin health, promoting clear, smooth and radiant appearance.
🍊 Orange oil is used included into massage oil mixes to lessen headaches and menstrual pain. It is great for reducing stress, digestive problems and can be used as an anti congestant. It can also relieve painful or involuntary muscle contractions.
🍊 They are the best food and the best medicine. So make sure you are eating them regularly or juicing the fruit. I would always juice whole oranges over buying juice as the inevitable additives are less than ideal.
Have a great day! 🍊
