Here in Greece oranges, tangerines, are our favorite fruits. Here in Kos we have a tangerine which is really different from the others. And to be more specific isn't exactly from kos but from Kalymnos island, which is wellknown for it's tangerines. So, from December i started to have monomeals with tangerines. But now January oranges are in season. So, for today i have 4 oranges and 4 tangerines. I feal so satisfied. My digestion is so perfect. And if i feal later that something is missing i have some nuts, soaked and sprouted overnight.
I opened all the books that i found available and look what i found... The truth is, that oranges is one of the cheapest fruits out there. Orange is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin B and also rich in vital sugars. Oranges are full in minerals, and especially in potassium, calcium, magnesium and sodium. Ripe oranges have 20-25% sugar. The greater the amount of sugar, greater nutritional value. Proteins are just 1% and no fats. Patients from pleurisy, jaundice, and from many other diseases they had been well, after eating only oranges for one till two weeks. Also, patients with nephritis, with high fever, with arthritis, rheumatism, stomach ulcer, gastritis, eczema, aimoroides, acne, dermatitis, diabetes, diarrhea, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, etc. All these diseases, can be healed by eating for some days or many people can handle orange eating for weeks. Even orange juice can heal someone from high fever, but only drinking orange juice and water, not eating, diarrhea the same.
Oranges can go well with other tropical fruits or other subtropical fruits, with sour fruits or with nuts. It's better to avoid eating them with starches or sweets or dry fruits. You can make nice fruit salads. Also, orange juices with other juices from subtropical fruits or tropical fruits, such as prickly pears, medlars, mangkos, papaya, lotus, pineapples, pomegranates, apples etc...
So, don't think of it...
