But, have you ever eaten raw food, freshly picked straight from an organic garden. It will not only give you the boost you need but it can also have a more beneficial healing effect if it was planted by you.
One of my favourite raw foods is fresh orange juice or FOJ.
I like go out to my orange tree in the morning and pick 4 oranges, take them straight inside and sqeeze the juice out. The problemis it takes me about 10 seconds to drimk it and them it is gone. The great thing is the taste and the effecton my body. It tastes so good that I can't help drinking it down in one go and as it goes down my throat it feels like I am getting AN EXPLOSION OF SUNSHINE INSIDE MY TUMMY. The energy hit is instant and you can't get the same feeling with anything produced in a factory.
Freshly squeezed orange juice can't be compared with any bottled orange juice anywhere.
Some benefits of OJ are:
- It contains Vitamin C, helpful in boosting your immune system.
- It contains Potassium, an esential nutrient.
- It contains Folate which helps the body's reprodution of new cells.
- 3 glasses per day can reduce the amount of bad fats such as Low Density Lipoproteins (LDLs)and increase High Density Lipoproteins (HDL's) this is great news for people with cholesterol problems.(Kurowska EM, Spence JD, Jordan J, et al. HDL-cholesterol raising effect of orange juice in subjects with hypurcholesferolemia. Am J Clin Ntur. 2000;72:1095-1100. source http://www.elliottsamazing.com/orangejuice.html )
- It is high in antioxidants which may help in the prevention of various kinds of cancer.
Finally, oranges aren't the only fruit or vegetable that can be eaten raw. If you begin your organinc garden today make sure you plant an orange tree and next year you too could be drinking your first glass of truely Fresh OJ.
