The Power Of Juice

If you've read here much at all, you are aware I used to work for an Orange Juice Company. Juice was my life for quite a few years. The joke was always if you cut me I bled orange.

Part of that dedication came from the fact that I knew and loved the product that I sold. I was lucky enough to have good contacts in the R&D department and I studied everything I could get my hands on. If we were told there was a certain benefit that came from something we were doing, I didn't just follow blindly. I did my own research and asked (according to my boss sometimes) way too many questions.

And the thing you hear most from me if you are sick, or tired, or fighting off something is simply this....Drink More Juice.

And I mean it. I try to have at least 16oz of OJ every day. I prefer Tropicana Pure Premium with Calcium. The calcium additive is phenominal. It absorbs into your system quickly and cleanly and I often sold it into placements as a perfect alternative for those folks that are lactose intolerant (or just didn't like milk). It's that good.

Now, with my stomach as bad as it is, I'm stuck drinking the Low Acid version. Oh, it's very yummy. Sweeter than standard OJ. I can almost taste the Valencia oranges in the mix. And not hard on my stomach at all. I just really need the calcium.

If I'm fighting a cold or something more sinister, I pick up a gallon of the Immunity Defense (they've renamed it since I've left). I still get the juice and I get that added boost of vitamins.

I don't like taking medicine. I prefer to take care of things as "naturally" as possible. I know store bought OJ isn't all that natural, especially when you're buying the brands with the additives. BUT it works - at least for me. I'd rather drink that than take pills.

As I've been talking to folks lately, seems everyone is fighting off some cold or something so I thought I'd just do my civic duty and tell you....DRINK MORE JUICE!!!!
