According to Harvard research, eating oranges stimulates growth of Faecalibacterium prausnitzia.
This bacteria lives inside the human gut and generates serotonin and dopamine — 2 powerful molecules that elevate your mood.
Harvard is one of the top 5 research universities in the world. Gary Ruvkun won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Where does he work ? Harvard.
If you feel sad, eat an orange 🍊
Oh yeah emotions are just nutritional signals and gut-bacteria signals, I guess we’re all just making up reasons to be ABNORMAL AND DIFFICULT.
THANKS HARVARD NERDS
Ever thought about eating an orange?
YSAK: If you don’t feel sad, eat an orange
Oranges are yummy and keep you from getting scurvy

Oranges and other citrus fruit are also significantly acidic, which is hard on teef. So try not to go overboard, or at least rinse your mouth with water afterwards if you eat citrus regularly.
By the same token, do not rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth. This gives more of the toothpaste’s fluoride a chance to adhere, from my understanding.
Can I eat the juicy orang right after brushing my teefers?
Maybe save a step, and simply brush your teef with the orange!
What if you’re sad about the price of oranges?

Advice from the little book of calm.
If you cant find an orange, pretend you’re eating one, and then laugh.
The waves are scary if you don’t read it correctly though.
Does it work with (non-artifical) orange juice as well?
If it’s artificial it isn’t orange juice.
Artificial juice can definitely be orange (from dyes) 🤓
At least for me, all citrus fruits including their juices have an effect that they make me somewhat happier and help somewhat against depression. In the winter, I usually eat several mandarins a day.
If the bacteria can get what they need from it, i imagine the less processed it is the better.
I always just thought it was the sugar in the OJ making me feel better. 🤷♂️
Orange juice also has some magnesium in it which can slightly help with pain and such.
I drink it when I get a migraine and always thought it was the sugar too till I found that out.
Does this work with dried oranges?
I drink a tea that has orange in it so it would be awesome if it applies
do people hust have oranges lying around. We get them sometimes when they are in season enough to be cheap and nice.
I usually do because they’re tasty, they stay good for a long time, and they’re available cheaply year round in the US.
I love me some good navel oranges. So, on a good day, yes.
