Mood Brightener

There’s no doubt orange juice from Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company is absolutely uplifting. Maybe it’s the bright orange color that makes a person feel vibrant and sunny. Or the sweet taste that makes it so pleasurable to consume 25% of the daily recommended amount of fruits and veggies contained in one 8 oz. glass. But, it could also be that the vitamin C in orange juice may release certain chemicals in your brain that contribute to a feeling of happiness. Scientists at the Linus Pauling Institute in Oregon claim vitamin C helps synthesize norepenphrine, a neurotransmitter that has the effect of alertness and arouses the reward system in the brain. Isn’t it great when things that are good for you actually taste good? A glass of Natalie’s Orchid Island Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice in the morning can keep you smiling all day!
