Important
Mandarin oranges have a high sugar content in general than other citrus fruits. Those with sugar related problems will want to consult a doctor, preferably a naturopathic doctor, before using. Those that cannot tolerate oranges may find they can tolerate Mandarin oranges due to the lower acidity content.
Citrus fruits, when taken in excess, are known to leech calcium from the body. All citrus fruits add citric acid to the body and so it's a good idea to get some exercise after having a citrus fruit drink.
You should always remove the rind of grapefruits, oranges and tangerines. Remove the rind, but leave the white membrane as the white membrane contains bioflavonoids. The bioflavonoids help the body absorb and use Vitamin C.
The rind of oranges, grapefruits and tangerines must be removed as the rind is difficult for the human body to digest. The rind can subsequently cause rectal problems.
General
Drink immediately after juicing to ensure you get all of the Vitamin C.
Chinese Herbal Information

5 Flavors: sour,sweet
General Information:
Nothing to report.
Cautions & Suggestions:
Orange peels are traditionally dried in Chinese herbal medicine and then added to a tea. The kidney peel tea is then good for the kidneys. Only a few dried kidney peels are needed. Too many dried kidney peels are not good.
Chinese herbalist suggest that when you have a cold or a fever that you want to avoid all oranges along with seafood. The reason is that oranges and seafood enforce the body's health and while that is good, the reality is that they can also enforce the cold or fever. So when you are sick with the flu or a fever, do avoid all oranges and seafood.
Although oranges should be avoided when one has the flu, dried kidney peel tea is okay. For best results, consult a Chinese herbalist when you have a fever or the flu.

Have you been wanting to do hatha yoga (stretching) but have found it either too difficult or you are not that flexible? If yes, and even if no, watch Jesse do some pure hatha yoga routines.
Unlike flow yoga
, each pose in pure or traditional hatha yoga is held for a few minutes. While holding the pose, you focus the mind on the stretch. When you focus the mind, that's when you find silence.
Jesse is not flexible — never has been and probably never will be flexible like others. But it doesn't matter. In pure hatha yoga, how flexible you are makes no difference. It's all about loving the pose and focussing the mind on the stretch.
If you want to learn pure hatha yoga, now you can by following Jesse on a series of hatha yoga routines.
