Orange Juice

Oh yes I did.  I took a picture of orange juice.  A few people have told me they stopped drinking orange juice because it's not worth the calories or "points."  I agree, the calories are high, but so are the vitamins and potassium.  You can buy fortified OJ with calcium, which is good for strong bones and teeth.  **Did  you know that orange juice is not Acidic?  It's Alkaline.  Citrus fruits have an acid pH before they are consumed but leave an alkaline residue in the body after they have been metabolized.  Alkaline foods prevent disease, slow the aging process, and increases longevity.  Meat, eggs, dairy, and caffeine are acidic.  Here is a great article on Acidic vs. Alkaline foods.


I try to pick OJ that has no sugar added and non-GMO.  Just 100% juice.  If you're dragging in the morning and think you need 10 cups of coffee, maybe try some refreshing OJ instead.  I do a 4 oz. shot every morning.  I like Naked (the brand, geez) and Simply Orange.
