Strong bones when workers drink orange juice in the morning: Right or wrong

Kiều Vũ (Theo AAOS) |

Bone and joint health is very important, especially for workers who often have to work at high intensity and have little time to take care of themselves.

Many people believe that for strong bones, high-intensity workers should drink orange juice in the morning. This also has a certain basis, but avoid simplifying or absolutizing the role of orange juice.

Orange juice is a rich source of vitamin C, an important micronutrient for the body. Vitamin C participates in the synthesis of collagen – an essential component that makes up bones, cartilage and connective tissues. When the amount of collagen is maintained stably, bones will have better flexibility and endurance.

For workers, especially manual laborers, the bone and joint system must operate regularly, so supplementing vitamin C with orange juice in the morning can help support the regeneration and protection of bones.

In addition, orange juice also contains potassium and a small amount of calcium, contributing to maintaining bone density and mineral balance in the body.

Drinking orange juice in the morning helps the body absorb nutrients better, while creating a feeling of alertness, reducing fatigue and increasing labor efficiency.

For workers who have to start working early, a glass of orange juice not only brings nutritional benefits but also helps warm up the body gently.

However, it should be emphasized that orange juice is not the only factor that determines bone strength.

Calcium and vitamin D are the two key components in the formation and maintenance of the skeletal system. If you only drink orange juice without calcium-rich foods such as milk, fish, eggs, green vegetables or lack exercise and sunlight, the effect on bones will be very limited.

And drinking orange juice when hungry or too much can cause stomach discomfort, especially for people with digestive problems.

Orange juice plays a supporting role by providing vitamin C and some minerals, but for bones to be truly healthy, workers need to combine a balanced diet, reasonable exercise and scientific rest. Only then can the benefits of orange juice be promoted effectively and sustainably.
