Wellness Wednesday - 🍊 Orange you glad it's Wednesday?

Posted Date: 9/17/25 (9:07 AM)

Let’s peel back the truth about oranges:
βœ”οΈ Vitamin C powerhouse – One medium orange packs over 100% of your daily recommended dose. Say goodbye to scurvy (and maybe that lingering cold πŸ‘‹)!
βœ”οΈ Low-cal, high-fiber – Around 60 calories and 3g of fiber = sweet satisfaction without the guilt.
βœ”οΈ Hydration hero – Oranges are about 87% water. So technically... you're eating juice.
βœ”οΈ Natural sugar > added sugar – The kind your body actually knows what to do with.
🧑 Bottom line: Oranges are basically sunshine in edible form. Eat one, and feel smugly healthy for the rest of the day!
