Today I looked up the benefits of orange peel, because I wanted to know why they add half an orange zest for cakes. Even though I don’t eat cakes anymore.
Anyway. The benefits of orange peel are amazing, so I at 2 whole orange peels, and WOW, I’m calm, relaxed and focused.
My heart feels good and relaxed. My legs feel a bit heavy, but very very mild heavy.
I feel focused and headstrong. It really is quite amazing.
I ate 2 organic orange peels (make sure to wash them well because of pesticides if their not organic).
I figured if they use peels in cooking in the form of zest, then why not eat the peel instead of grating it for zest.
I’m glad I did because now I’m super chilled, like a benzo without the side effects I guess.
Some people eating plain orange peel might find that the essential oils present in the peel has an acidity that can cause stomach upset. Especially if they eat a lot…I find it beneficial in small doses where it doesn’t give me heartburn.
The orange peel is similar chemical structure to an anti inflammatory drug (I forget what it’s called, I’ll look it up), and schizophrenia is inflammation of the brain researchers say.
Honestly, it’s ok. It numbs your brain in a good way, I quite like it.
I knew about the benefits years ago and ate a little bit a few times when i remembered to.
I don’t think eating two whole peels has any extra benefit, it’s a little overkill IMO, but if it makes you feel better, that’s cool.
Lately I started saving the peel and eating a little bit everyday. I can’t always afford a ton of oranges or juice, so it’s an easy way to boost certain vitamins and nutrients.
They do recommened using peel from organic fruit, but i just try to wash normal peel. I think it’s okay, maybe if I get sick or grow a third eye I will stop.
Orange has almost no perfect rhymes. The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant). Silver is another word for which it is almost impossible to find a perfect rhyme: the only candidate is the rare word chilver, which the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary defines as ‘a ewe-lamb’ (i.e. a female lamb). Both orange and silver do have half-rhymes, though: the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary gives lozenge as a half-rhyme for orange, for example, and salver as a half-rhyme for silver.
What’s the difference between a full rhyme and a half-rhyme? A full and stressed rhyme (e.g. hand / stand) or even an unstressed rhyme (such as handing / standing) contain vowels that are common to both words, while a half-rhyme like orange / lozenge or silver / salver has obvious differences between the vowels in certain syllables. The technical term for a half-rhyme is ‘pararhyme’.
