00:02 Arizona daily mix is sponsored
00:04 On behalf of florida department
00:06 Of citrus by definition 6.
00:09 >> spring marks the return of
00:11 Sunny gatherings.
00:12 And to make sure you don't miss
00:14 Out on any of the fun plans,
00:16 You'll want to make sure your
00:18 Immune system is in tip-top
00:20 Shape.
00:21 Last week, brad talked with
00:23 Registered dietician lauren
00:25 Cornell to discuss simple ways
00:27 To keep wellness top of mind
00:29 During national nutrition month.
00:31 >> good morning, lauren.
00:32 How are you?
00:33 >> i'm doing great.
00:34 Thank you.
00:35 >> what is the easiest way to
00:37 Support overall, of course, our
00:39 Health during national nutrition
00:40 Month?
00:41 >> yeah, so being that it's
00:42 National nutrition month and i'm
00:44 A registered dietician, of
00:45 Course, health and well-being is
00:46 At top of mind, and i'm always
00:48 Trying to find those ways that i
00:50 Can sneak in nutrient-dense
00:52 Beverages or foods into my
00:54 Patient's diet.
00:55 So one really easy way to do
00:57 That is to incorporate florida
00:58 Orange juice into your daily
01:00 Diet or even into some recipes
01:02 Where it can fit in.
01:03 So easiest way to do that, i
01:05 Think, is, you know, by
01:07 Consuming an 8-ounce glass of
01:09 Florida orange juice, maybe with
01:11 Your breakfast every day, just
01:13 An 8-ounce glass includes
01:15 Vitamin c, potassium, thiamine.
01:17 If it's a fortified juice and
01:19 It's going to contain vitamin d
01:21 As well, these are all
01:23 Essential vitamins and minerals
01:25 That we need and our immune
01:27 System.
01:28 How does 100% oj benefit that?
01:30 >> so through those vitamins and
01:32 Minerals that i listed, those
01:34 Are all immune system-supporting
01:36 Nutrients, but also orange juice
01:38 Contains something called
01:40 Hesperidin.
01:41 So hesperidin is exclusive to
01:43 Citrus, and it's a plant-based
01:45 Compound that helps to fight
01:47 Inflammation and helps to reduce
01:49 Oxidative stress that we endure
01:51 On a daily basis.
01:52 So all of these things are ways
01:54 That orange juice can help to
01:56 Kind of support the immune
01:58 System.
01:59 >> i like that.
02:00 Okay, since you said we need it
02:02 In our daily routine, can you
02:04 Help us, of course, with some
02:06 Tips on how we can incorporate
02:08 It into our daily routine?
02:10 >> yes, absolutely.
02:11 Aside from just drinking the
02:13 Glass of orange juice, you can
02:15 Incorporate it into some
02:17 Day-to-day meals that you have.
02:19 I put it in my oatmeal
02:21 Sometimes, it adds a little bit
02:23 Of sweetness and dimension to
02:25 It.
02:26 >> i'm going to give you a
02:27 Couple of suggestions on how you
02:29 Can incorporate florida orange
02:30 Juice into your diet.
02:31 So i've got a couple of those
02:32 Here today.
02:33 My favorite is going to be the
02:35 Florida oj and cranberry juice
02:37 Spritzer.
02:38 This is fantastic.
02:39 It can be enjoyed by the whole
02:40 Family.
02:41 Very easy to make.
02:42 It's just equal parts, which
02:43 Would be two cups florida orange
02:45 Juice and then two cups
02:47 Cranberry juice with about a cup
02:49 And two-thirds of elderflower
02:51 Sparkling drink.
02:52 And if the adults want to throw
02:53 In their favorite spirit, it can
02:54 Be a great addition to their
02:55 Meal.
02:56 We also have the florida oj
02:58 Sunburst smoothie, which looks
03:00 As delicious as it is.
03:02 We've got the florida oj no-bake
03:05 Protein balls.
03:06 These can be incorporated as a
03:08 Snack or even a really nice sweet
03:10 Treat.
03:11 And then this is one of my
03:12 Favorites as well.
03:13 We've got the orange couscous
03:15 With cinnamon vinaigrette.
03:17 This is a really great side dish
03:18 For dinner with your family.
03:20 You can also have this as a
03:21 Lunch, just add some protein to
03:22 The top.
03:23 And then you can have a
03:24 Cranberry juice with a little
03:25 Bit of cinnamon.
03:26 >> wow, those look all
03:27 Delicious, and i like how you
03:28 Said we could add a little adult
03:30 Beverage with the orange juice
03:31 To make sure we're getting it.
03:33 But that's later on in the
03:34 Afternoon.
03:35 >> yes.
03:36 >> hey, let me ask you really
03:37 Quick, lord, how many glasses of
03:39 Orange juice should we be
03:40 Drinking?
03:41 I know sometimes people go one a
03:42 Day, two a day.
03:43 What do you recommend?
03:44 >> i think just getting an 8-ounce
03:46 Glass is going to give you all
03:48 The vitamins and minerals that
03:49 You need.
03:50 I mean, of course, if you end up
03:51 Having more orange juice in
03:52 The day like we talked about,
03:53 Then that's great.
03:54 You're going to get a little,
03:55 You know, additional boost.
03:56 But just that 8-ounce glass.
03:57 >> i like that.
03:58 That's easy.
03:59 Or, of course, an orange a day
04:02 Keeps the immune system healthy.
04:04 That's what i hear.
04:05 That's -- where can we find more
04:07 Information, lord?
04:08 >> yeah, absolutely.
04:09 So you can go to floridajuice.com

04:13 Helpful information about the
