Orange Alert

There is a man just around the corner from my otel who squeezes the sweetest OJ. I tell you along with my 1st espresso of the morning drinking oranges especially these ones is an absolute pleasure.

Its a daily drink for many around the world, i can remember drinking certain Oj's that have been almost an intoxicating experience. 

What is it about the humble Orange Juice?

The Blood Reds of Italy, from Valencia in Spain, and as i remember they squeeze some potent sweet juice in Djemaa el Fna in Marrakech Morocco. 

Maybe its got to do with waking up to a new day. For me in the tropics its drinking it freshly squeezed after a swim, with the early morning sun shining on your body.

Anyway this juice is something special, i can feel the cells of my body jumping for joy.

I sometimes add a table spoon of virgin olive oil into a glass of OJ. The oil combined with the fructose provides a slow release of energy throughout the morning.If you are following Fit for Life or other food combining self detox diets, this morning combo is a Sweet Atomic Cocktail.

Thanks be to the sun and oranges.
There is lies the potent energy connection.
