craving for citrus fruits,,,,

i tend to believe oranges and lemons play a curative part in common colds and also help boost immunity.the mango to me is more of a fruit to enjoy the juice i can make from it after blending.

I was down with running nose, sore throat and cough for three weeks already. Yes, I craved for more vitamin C to boost my immune system. I mix Ribena drink with lime juice, it is really good and relieve me from all the irritation for awhile. However, I personally think drink coconut water helps a lot during this hot season.

LOL I don't crave for those stuff, but i like lemon, orange etc, it is winter here and the cost of orange is going down, in last one week the fall in price is 50%, orange juice is my favorite, i add some black pepper powder and rock salt to it. Thanks for sharing

I just eat citrus fruits when i wanted to, i do not often eat them. THe oranges are one of my favorite citrus fruit, When i have cough or runny nose i sometimes make calamansi juice with warm water and it is really effective. I am not really into taking medicines because i am afraid that it would have side effects and also it has a bitter flavor.ahaha

Oranges are my favorite fruit. I do agree that citrus fruits are very beneficial. I eat lots of oranges when I have a cold. Putting lemon juice in hot water and adding a little honey is also very beneficial for healing when having a cold. One of my favorite summer time beverage is lime juice and club soda and with a little sweetener. Add some ice and it is indeed a refreshing cool drink.

I love ponkan and oranges, I just don't really know which of them is better?

I love to eat oranges and drink lime juice. It is good for our health and I find it relieve my throat. When the waitress serve my son with a slice of lime, he will quickly take it out and pass to me. I will eat it even it is sour. He will always wonder how I can do it. I just love citrus fruit, that's why! Drinking citrus fruits that is rich with vitamin C and with zinc it will help to boost our immune system.

Hi Good to have citrus fruits we get lots of vitamin c .I do have every week. Yes when we have this cold problems we carve for citrus fruits more. I love all fruits. This is the time we get all citrus fruits here but not the mangoes . we get mangoes during summer.

It is essential to have citrus supplements. It helps you to combat against diseases. It will bring your immune system in normal function.

I get that way sometimes.. for oranges. Glad they are good for me. Have a great week there.

I love oranges (Sweet one)but can't pretend to like the other sour fruits in this category. By the way I heard that at least two Oranges a day would be beneficial for my health and keep the doctor away. Is that the cause of your craving?

Yes, or maybe you are about to have your period, so you are craving with these foods. hormonal change. If a person is sick, the person's immune system is signaling something thru the brain telling the person to eat something to boost the system. or if a person is sick then, the taste buds is affected, sometimes causing loss of appetite and the food have the same taste bland or some times the medicine is affecting the taste buds. WARNING: THIS IS NOT FROM A DOCTOR'S KNOWLEDGE. so this is just an opinion of the person with colds too right now.

Oranges are my favorite fruit. And I do consider eating citrus fruit to be beneficial when I have a cold. Sometimes I squeeze a couple of fresh lemons in a glass and add a little honey to help me when I have a cold. Especially when I feel I am dehydrated and don't really feel like eating. Someone I knew would eat about 10 oranges a day when he had a cold. He was really convinced that eating that much fruit a day helped him get over his cold. I would consider eating fruit in moderation, as there is a lot of sugar in fruit, even and especially with a cold. It's important to become healthy again, but to do so in healthy ways.
