Eating vegetable living green

Using cars every day and keeping household appliances plugged in aren’t the only ways we contribute to global warming. The way we eat does as well, mainly because producing and transporting food uses up energy and releases carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Meat-eaters are guiltier compared to vegetarians. It takes a lot more energy to produce livestock: Feed production includes using fertilizer, deforestation, and pasture degradation. Then there are the animals themselves, whose manure emits gases that contribute to greenhouse gases too. Vegetables, although needing transport, at least release oxygen from their leaves making for cleaner air.

Here are some of the good benefits from eating fruits, fish and vegetables to our body:

Oranges

According to wikipedia, Orange juice is the best of source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), potassium, folic acid (Vitamin B9). Citrus juices also contain flavonoids that are believed to have beneficial health effects. However, if drunk on an empty stomach, orange juice can exacerbate present gastro-intestinal conditions and/or cause mild and temporary stomach upset. Due to the citric acid, orange juice typically has a pH of 3.5. Drinking or sipping orange juice can therefore cause erosion of the tooth enamel, otherwise known as ‘acid erosion’. It is recommended to use a straw so that the juice does not come into contact with the teeth.
