Is it bad for you to have too much orange juice in a day and what wouold the recomended daily amount be?

It depends on what you mean by "bad" and what your health/fitness goals are.  Orange juice is high in sugar.  If you are drinking too much, not working out, and trying to lose weight, you are less likely to be successful.  Of course, there are the obvious benefits to drinking orange juice, so this question really depends on your personal goals.  Try logging on to fitday.com in order to track your food/drink intake.  Good luck!

I've eaten 4 or 5 a day without any problems. They will raise your blood sugar, which can be harmful.

LOL!!  There is no "required" amount that you "should" drink each day.\nJust a lot of myth and folklore.\n\nDrink when you're thirsty.  Period.  That's all that is needed.

Fruit has a high sugar content,its a natural and slower burning sugar,but in the long run if its overconsumed its does the same kind of damage as white table sugar!Many people on the quest for a healthy diet make that mistake!You need to restrict your fruit intake to no more then 2-4 portions of fruit per day.one portion is a medium size apple or 1/2 banana or about 10 grapes!If you overdo the fruit consumption your putting yourself at risk for major pancreas problems down the road,and possibly syndrome X.If your feeling hungry it could be your not balancing your meals or eating enough protein or fat.Read the book the zone diet,and your body knows best by Anne louise gittleman.

We know that 600g of orange has 420mg of vitamin C\nOne orange is 85.125g\n\n600g / 85.125g = 7.5 oranges :)\n\nAnd as i said earlier, its okay to eat more than that because vitamin C is water soluble and any extra will get flushed away.

Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your fluid intake, so you if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups), along with your normal diet, you can replace the lost fluids. \nEight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Another approach to water intake is the "8 x 8 rule" — drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day (about 1.9 liters). The rule could also be stated, "drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day," as all fluids count toward the daily total. Though this approach isn't supported by scientific evidence, many people use this basic rule as a guideline for how much water and other fluids to drink. \nDietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men consume 3 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day. These guidelines are based on national food surveys that assessed people's average fluid intakes. \nYou can choose any of these fluid intake approaches to gauge your fluid needs. But your current total fluid intake is probably OK if you drink enough water to quench your thirst, produce a colorless or slightly yellow normal amount of urine, and feel well.

Yes you can drink to much and drown your brain, destroy your kidneys [overwork] and ultimately flush out all the nutrients from your body that you effectual require to be a healthy person. Cut down gradually not in one go as I had funny things happen to me as I wasn't told to cut down gradually.

Not directly.  It (even the diet kind) can cause obesity, which is a risk factor in some cancers.  It can leach calcium out of your bones and raises your risk of diabetes even if you only drink one a day.  It can eat the rust off of nails and clean a car battery, so I don't think it is easy on your stomach.  If you like the caffeine, switch to green tea, it is much healthier.  Also, soda (especially citrus flavored clear ones) can contain benzenes at 20 parts per million if it is exposed to light and heat.  The safe limit for benzenes in drinking water is .05 parts per million.  The FDA declined to regulate soda because, they said, people drink more water than soda!  I think this is untrue.  Many teenagers don't drink water at all and indulge in several sodas a day.

I've heard 8 glasses a day, but snopes.com says that's an urban legend.\n\nIn general, to remain healthy we need to take in enough water to replace the amount we lose daily through excretion, perspiration, and other bodily functions, but that amount can vary widely from person to person, based upon a variety of factors such as age, physical condition, activity level, and climate. The "8-10 glasses of water per day" is a rule of thumb, not an absolute minimum, and not of all of our water intake need come in the form of drinking water.

Three cups of orange juice a day over a 4-week period can significantly increase HDL levels \n and improve a patient's LDL:HDL ratio, suggests this small study of healthy adults with \n moderate hypercholesterolemia. When Canadian investigators asked 25 men and women with \n elevated total and LDL cholesterol and normal triglyceride readings to drink 1, 2, or 3 cups of \n juice a day in three separate 4-week periods, those on the highest dose (750 mL) saw their \n HDL levels increase by 21% and their LDL:HDL ratio decrease by 16%. The researchers also \n observed a 30% increase in plasma triglycerides, but those readings remained in the normal \n range. \n\nVitamin C \nThe Dietary Guidelines (2005) have identified vitamin C as a “nutrient of concern” in the American adult diet, because only about 50% of U.S. adults consume adequate levels of the vitamin.(1) As you know, vitamin C is a very important antioxidant that has many functions, such as the promotion of healthy skin and gums. Vitamin C also enhances the absorption of iron from non-heme iron sources (iron-rich grains and other plant foods such as whole-grain cereals) when ingested at the same time as the iron. An easy way to make sure you get adequate amounts of vitamin C each day is by drinking orange juice. Just one 8-ounce glass of Pure Premium orange juice provides a full day’s supply of vitamin C.\n\nPotassium\nWhile you are probably aware that a potassium-rich, low-sodium diet can help maintain healthy blood pressure and help decrease the risk of stroke, a majority of your clients are not. No age group in the United States consumes the recommended level of potassium.(2) For people 14 and older, the recommended intake is 4700 milligrams/day.(2) \n\nSince potassium is found in many foods, but only in relatively small amounts, it is important to educate your clients about foods that are good sources of potassium.Pure Premium orange juice is one of these foods, containing 450 mg of potassium in an 8-ounce glass. Check out the chart below for more potassium-rich foods to recommend to your patients.(1) \n\n \n\nIf you are looking for other foods that contain potassium, try some of these: 1 baked potato (610mg), 3-ounces cooked halibut (490mg), 1/8 medium honeydew (365mg). \n\nFolate\nFolate has a wide variety of benefits including its ability to help reduce the risk of neural tube birth defects and promote healthy red blood cells. Unfortunately some Americans are not getting enough of it. An easy way to help your clients increase folate consumption is by recommending orange juice.Pure Premium orange juice is naturally a good source of folate, providing 15% of the daily value (DV). \n\n2005 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report. \nInstitute of Medicine, Food and Nutrition Board, 2004.

I have the same issue and when it happens orange juice helps you snap back quickly.  You need to watch your sugar input.  What happens when you get too much is that the insulin in your body becomes overactive to eliminate it and that many times leads to a fast drop in your sugar.  You should look up some good diets, but most of them will tell you to eat many smaller meals throughout the day.

I don't think so. While fruit is good for you, too much fruit can give you diarhhea. If you want a healthier complexion, definately add more fruits and veggis to your diet. Water is also important for healthy skin. Make sure you are drinking at LEAST two eight ounce glasses a day of just water (not juice, soda, hi-c) to help keep you hydrated and flush impurities. Start walking to get your blood flowing, this will help with overall body health too!

You want to drink at least two litres a day and as much as a gallon.  Some suggest drinking as much as you can.  I find that about 2 and a half - 3 litres a day is what is comfortable for me.  As for how often, I would say divide the ammount that you drink daily into 8-18oz servings spread throughout the day whenever you can.  I generally drink the mixture 4 - 6 times a day.  I spread them somewhat evenly throughout the day but find it helpful to listen to my bodies cravings.  If I feel hungry or am craving food, thats when I mix the cleanser up and it generally takes that craving away.\n\nGood luck!

The "recommendation" that you should drink 8 glasses a day has been debunked.  It's not true.   And yes, you CAN drink too much, but it's pretty hard to do.  There are a couple of cases every year where someone drinks so much water that they die.  Takes a LOT, though, so don't worry too much about it.\n\nhttp://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8glasses.asp\nhttp://calorielab.com/news/2006/05/28/8-glasses-of-water-a-diet-urban-legend\n\nDrink when you're thirsty.  Period.  \nDo not obsess over trying to drink some arbitrary amount daily.  There's no proof that it's helpful at all.  Thousands of generations of your ancestors never worried about it and you shouldn't either.

Orange juice is better, because it is packed with Vit C, D and Calcium and it has antioxidents that help boost the immune system!

All of those energy drinks have massive amounts of caffine in them. If you drink them regularly, then yes, they are very bad for you because you'll be addicted to caffine. If you just drink it once a week, then there isn't anything wrong with that.

yes, the recommended amount is 2 litres a day. Personally, I don't know anybody who drinks this much.
