Tis the season...the other season- of coughing, sneezing, and #theflu. As a wise man once said, " Aint nobody got time for that!" No words could ring truer. I have such a hectic schedule and literally no time to get sick, let alone catch the flu . Nope. So whats the solution ? I found myself this time last year carry around packets of " vitamin C /Emergen-C supplements", chugging them every chance I could get.
Vitamin c itamin C helps your body absorb nutrients . Because your body doesn't naturallt produce or store vitamin C, it's important to eat foods high in vitamin C ...likeee oranges!
I recall one day in a nutrition class learning about the body's absorption and how it retains nutrients. It takes what it needs from foods we eat and flushes out the rest. The human body only needs about 200 mg of Vitamin C a day, any more than that and it all goes to waste. Most supplements and packets contain 2000mg of vitamin c amongst other things... I decided to source my nutrients the all natural way..my own homemade orange juice.
It's easy , here's how:
(juicer needed)
9oz glass
2 Oranges (sliced)
Ice
Cayenne pepper
(optional) sugar
Juice the 2 oranges , sprinkle Cayenne and optional sugar to taste, and voila!
Cup of Vitiman C with no extra artificial ingredients!
