Oranges & Tangerines: Calcium-Rich Foods

Oranges (and their cousins, tangerines) are full of the coenzyme glutathione, which goes into activation because of their high content of flavonoids and limonoids. This is a relationship medical research has not yet tapped into, and one that makes oranges and tangerines a key to helping the 21st-century epidemic of chronic illness.

Together, glutathione, flavonoids, and limonoids help fight off pathogens, protect the body from radiation damage, and deactivate toxic heavy metals in the system.

Oranges and tangerines are abundant in a form of bioactive calcium you can’t get anywhere else. The body instantly absorbs this calcium, which means that these citrus beauties actually help regrow teeth, not destroy them as is commonly believed. Their acid content is not destructive; rather, it works for you by helping to dissolve kidney stones and gallstones.

Oranges and tangerines are life-giving, and they should be a foundation in the diet. Whether a navel, blood orange, Valencia, mandarin, honey Murcott, clementine, Minneola tangelo, or any other variety, you can support your health by bringing them into your diet every day or as often as possible.

How To Use:

For optimum benefits from oranges and tangerines, consume four per day. As a snack, drizzle raw honey over slices of orange or tangerine. For a predigestive aid, try adding a squeeze of fresh orange or tangerine juice over your favorite salads and dishes. It will help ensure that you digest your meal at the best level possible.
