Drink your orange juice. It’s good for you.  How true it is! Orange juice, like many citrus fruits and some vegetables, contains high amounts of Vitamin C.  Not only is Vitamin C beneficial to maintaining healthy skin and bones it is essential to maintaining a healthy immune system.  Without a properly functioning immune system, our bodies could not cleanse itself of harmful toxins and unwanted substances like THC metabolites left over from smoking marijuana.  Other drugs, whether they are prescription or illegal, also leave metabolites behind after use and this is what drug testing facilities look for when you are required to give a sample.  They are not looking for the drugs themselves rather the metabolites left behind from drug usage.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and antioxidants help to protect the body against destructive compounds called free radicals which cause damage to cells and tissue and also expedite the aging process.

Eliminating toxins from our bodies is part of our self preservation mechanism.  Without ingesting vital elements like Vitamin C into our diets, our bodies would shut down due to high toxicity.  Taking too much Vitamin C does have its drawback however and can lead to kidney stones. It will also cause headaches, nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, gas, and light headedness.  Do not take over 6,000 mg per day as this is defined as a mega dose and will have adverse effects on your health.  Today there are more toxins present in the environment than ever before and people are less active in general so we need to keep up with our intake of vitamins to help our livers fight off infections and process toxins out of our system.  Diet is our primary defense against toxin build up and adding the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C is the best way to keep THC and other drug metabolites from accumulating to dangerous levels.
