Drink Taylor Swift has daily can help protect you from illnesses and diseases

The global superstar apparently has this affordable drink every morning which helps keep her healthy in many ways

Taylor Swift is known around the globe and has legions of fans. So it's no surprise that people have tried to copy the star's daily life - right the way down to what she eats.

One item on the menu is probably in your own fridge right now, and the 34-year-old Fortnight singer is said to regularly start her day with it. According to an interview with Bon Appetit, Taylor pairs her "go-to breakfast" with a glass of orange juice.

You can get this in most supermarkets for a reasonable price. The drink is not only a good source of hydration but also packed with plenty of other health benefits.

Orange juice is full of vitamin C, which, according to the NHS, is an essential nutrient for all-round health. It helps to maintain healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage.

Being high in vitamin C, orange juice also helps boost the immune system, fight off ailments like the common cold, and reduce the duration of sickness. This can be a major help in the winter months, as norovirus, coronavirus, and flu are all prevalent.

Evidence also suggests that vitamin C-rich foods could help patients with anaemia by enhancing natural iron absorption. Vitamin C converts iron into a more absorbable form, allowing our bodies to benefit more from what we eat.

Also, oranges are packed with natural plant compounds, reports Healthline. The flavonoids contribute to most of the fruit's antioxidant properties, better supporting the body from conditions such as heart disease and cancer.

A 150ml glass of unsweetened orange juice also counts as one portion. Although the NHS advises that orange juice, like other juices, can only be counted once daily, no matter how much you drink.

But, before indulging in mass amounts of orange juice, you should know that the fruit juice is best consumed in moderation alongside a balanced diet. This is due to a high sugar count (albeit natural fruit sugar).

Also, if you suffer from heartburn, you may find that drinking orange juice aggravates your symptoms. This is due to the citric acid - which is also present in lemons, limes and grapefruits.
