Orange juice is literally one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
It has proven antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and gut health promoting properties.
Don’t believe me? Let’s get into it:

Orange juice has potent anti-inflammatory effects.
A McDonald’s meal causes inflammation from gut bacteria (endotoxin),
but having OJ with it:
- ELIMINATES increase in bacterial endotoxin
- Prevents inflammatory response.
Water could worsen the effects, but OJ halted them.

This has been confirmed repeatedly in dozens of studies - orange juice lowers inflammation.
This is primarily due to the flavonoid content - components in OJ that reduce free radical production in immune cells.
This property calms the inflammatory response.

Orange juice actually lowers blood sugar after a meal.
Despite its high sugar content, a cup of OJ with a meal literally results in lower blood sugar than drinking water.
OJ is way more than just sugar - its unique compounds improve metabolism.

A cup of OJ a day improves insulin resistance.
Here, it:
▷ IMPROVED glucose metabolism
▷ LOWERED blood sugar
▷ LOWERED blood insulin
▷ LOWERED triglycerides
Over 2 months.

Fresh orange juice reverses depression.
People consuming fresh OJ saw complete improvement in ALL depression scores after 8 weeks.
People consuming stale commercial OJ did not.

Fresh orange juice:
◉ Increased BDNF - stimulates the growth / survival of brain cells
◉ Decreased leaky gut - a hallmark of depression.

Orange juice is excellent for gut health.
➡ Improves the composition of gut bacteria
➡ Reduces ammonium in the gut (toxic)
Fresh OJ is rich in flavonoids - which are metabolized by “good” gut bacteria and actually prevent the proliferation of bad ones.

Orange juice also increases short chain fatty acids in the gut.
These are the primary metabolic fuel of the gut, highly protective against things like IBS & IBDs.
I've written a ton about butyrate and short chain fatty acids below: x.com/Outdoctrinatio…

Orange juice cuts depression in half.
Once again in this study OJ was shown to increase BDNF & reduce inflammation,
which improves mood.

In fact, fresh orange juice improves cognitive function in the elderly.
The phenolic compounds in fresh OJ have powerful antioxidant properties,
lowering nitric oxide in the brain, reducing inflammation and increasing BDNF. x.com/Outdoctrinatio…

Fresh orange juice prevents insulin resistance,
but commercial fruit drinks do the opposite.
A brand like Natalie’s has been used in some of these studies, not the Tropicana or Dole type stuff.
Going by taste is best, the latter taste terrible in comparison.

Orange juice consumption is also protective against kidney stones.
The citrate from citrus fruits are the primary factor that prevents calcium from creating stones.
OJ also reduces the acidity of the urine, which also helps.

OJ is packed with nutrition.
One cup has substantial quantities of
‣ Potassium
‣ B1
‣ Magnesium
‣ Vitamin C
‣ Folate
It is a superfood.
