How Drinking 1L of Orange Juice CHANGED MY LIFE

So for last year on average I drank about one liter of orange juice every single day that's a bit less than this package and all the sugar did not make me fat in fact I actually feel that I got a lot of health benefits out of drinking orange juice every single day and if you're the type of person that goes like that might really like orange juice but you're a little bit afraid because of people saying that you know it has a lot of sugar or saying that oh orange juice is just as bad as soda don't drink it uh then this video I'm gonna share my perspective on it and six reasons why I drink quite a lot of it every single day so let's get started so the first reason why I drink a lot of orange juice is because I actually crave it in the morning after a workout or in summer especially whenever I have a sip like the first sip I'm like yes this is good stuff and I feel very satisfied now over the years I've become a big proponent into accepting your cravings and accepting that your body is probably trying to tell you something doesn't mean you always should follow it but usually there's something in the food that your body knows that you need the second reason is whenever I drink orange juice I get energy from it so for example if I have it in the morning I just get more energy feel more energized throughout the morning than if I would not be drinking it if I have a before a workout I have more energy than I otherwise would have had if I had not drank the orange juice now some people might be saying like oh it's just because of the sugar in there and um yeah there is sugar in there but I don't think that's a bad thing because there are plenty of organs in your body that actually run on sugar if you don't have enough sugar in your blood your body actually releases adrenaline so you feel a little bit more stressed in order to release sugar from your muscle glycogen stores so if you and so especially if you have it like in a whole food source like this juice also as well it has plenty of vitamins and minerals with it that your body that allows your cells to actually utilize the glucose and turn it into energy so if something gives you energy then that should be a good thing so the third reason why I drink a lot of orange juice is because it's actually my main source of vitamin C in my diet I also have other fruits and and sometimes it takes some supplemental vitamin C but orange juice in general is just like very rich in vitamin C and that can help you or at least it helps me be less sick and it's a good source of an antioxidant against oxidative damage for example whenever you're stressed or if you're eating like protein saturated fat yes it's you get a lot of oxidative damage damage to the structure of your cells but that's where you need to get antioxidant in order to make sure that your cells can then repair themselves um so if I check like here what's in here it says like vitamin C in this thing it just from the oranges and also from some added vitamin C is like 24 milligrams per 100 milliliters it says and that's 30 of your recommended daily dosage which means like you need like 80 milligrams per day that's what they recommend with vitamin C your body can just um you know flush it out if you get too much of it anyway um so I feel it's not a bad thing to get more vitamin C the fourth reason is that orange juice is a great way of making sure I can regulate my body temperature especially in summer because in summer I sometimes have a problem that whatever solid food I eat it tends to warm me up very quickly um which means that if I like have breakfast with maybe some bread some milk something like that then I tend to you know just become uncomfortably warm and with orange juice which is a great way of getting still calories because in summer I tend to be very active so I actually need my calories but if I I also don't want to be too warm so if I just drink a lot of orange juice I'm able to get in quite some calories and nutrition uh while still keeping my body temperature quite comfortable then in Winter I just have a little bit less of it or I have it with my food so that I still stay warm enough the fifth reason why I drink a lot of orange juice is because it's my main source of a lot of minerals such as mainly magnesium and potassium and with minerals I've just noticed that before or if I have a period when I don't drink a lot of orange juice I just noticed that I get a little bit you know some cramp in my leg and another thing is that your the colon of the body uses these minerals especially magnesium and potassium in order to regulate the amount of water in the digestive system so if there's not enough of these minerals you also might experience some some issues there and drink a lot of orange juice can solve everything for me I just don't have a lot of cramps anymore and my digestion is much better than it used to be the sixth reason why I drink a lot of orange juice is because it's my favorite anti-hangover drink now I probably drink like from 2 to 12 alcoholic beverages a week so it's not that much but whenever I have more than a couple then the next morning my craving for orange juice like goes through the roof and I really can drink a lot of it now alcohol weighs a lot of water minerals and vitamins and those are all things that you can find easily in orange juice even got to the point like a couple weeks ago I organized a bachelor party for a friend of mine and went to Belgium and we drink a lot of special beers and I made sure that before we actually went to the hotel that I actually got some oranges with me in my backpack to actually the next morning I just woke up I was like oh orange juice and it was very cute if you haven't drank any orange juice for a long period of time you still want to get back into it don't start with a liter a day just you know put like one single cup in the morning and try for seven days you feel better or worse and then make your own decision about this stuff for me it actually got to the point where I no longer drink coffee in the morning and actually I also experience a lot of benefits because of that watch this video if you want to know more about the benefits I experienced when I quit drinking coffee.
