When autumn arrives, temperatures drop, habits change, and colds increase. It's the perfect time to pay attention to what we consume and opt for natural strategies that support our defenses. One of them: enjoying quality natural juices. But not all juices are the same. In this article, we will see why citrus fruits and a well-made squeeze can make a difference.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is one of the most studied nutrients in relation to immunity. We do not produce it naturally, so it must be obtained through diet.
Some of its key functions:
Acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells against damage from free radicals.
Supports the function of various types of immune cells like leukocytes, NK cells, T and B cells.
Contributes to maintaining active and healthy immune barriers (like skin, mucous membranes).
Citrus fruits —oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, and lemons— are one of the best natural sources of vitamin C.
Additionally, citrus juices contain polyphenols (flavonoids like hesperidin, naringin) that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that can modulate the immune response.
For juice to provide these benefits, it is important that it is 100% natural juice, with no added sugars or preservatives, and that it retains the bioactive compounds.
Key factors:
Freshness of the squeeze: the faster it is consumed after squeezing, the better preservation of vitamin C and flavonoids.
Turbidity/pulp: some particles or pulp provide fiber and useful compounds that are not usually present in ultra-filtered industrial juices.
Thermal processes: reheating or intense pasteurization can degrade a good part of vitamin C and sensitive compounds.
That's why a good professional squeezing system that preserves the quality of the juice is an advantage.
In autumn, there are excellent varieties of citrus and other fruits that, when combined, allow for the creation of delicious and powerful juices to strengthen defenses:
Orange + tangerine: the classic that never fails. High dose of vitamin C and mild flavor.
Orange + grapefruit: more citrus power, improves the variety of bioactive compounds.
Orange + lemon + ginger: lemon adds more acidity (and some vitamin C) and ginger a natural anti-inflammatory effect (widely used in home remedies for colds).
Orange + pomegranate: pomegranate is rich in antioxidants (polyphenols) and combines well in cold seasons to provide color, flavor, and a nutritional boost.
These combinations not only enhance the nutritional contribution but also offer sensory variety (aromas, flavor, color) that make the juice experience more attractive to the customer.
Make it part of a morning ritual: a glass of fresh juice at the start of the day can be added as a nutritional supplement (but does not replace whole fruits).
Combine with a balanced diet: juice alone is not enough: a diet rich in vegetables, good hydration, sleep, and exercise are essential for a robust immune system.
Avoid excesses: vitamin C is water-soluble, the body does not store it in excess, so moderate doses throughout the day are more useful than large amounts at once.
Offer fresh juice in your business with professional quality: a clean, fast, and visual squeeze improves customer perception and ensures that nutritional properties are preserved.
Minimal storage: if you prepare juice in advance, keep it refrigerated and with minimal exposure to air and light
Autumn is a strategic season to take care of your defenses in a tasty and natural way. Including natural citrus juice well squeezed into your routine or offering can provide:
Vitamin C, key to supporting the immune system
Antioxidants and flavonoids that modulate inflammation and oxidative stress
Sensory experience for the customer that links health, flavor, and freshness
Whether for your routine or your business, opt for freshly squeezed natural juice and take advantage of all its nutritional potential.
