You might have been a little confused when you read the headline of this story -- or had some questions -- but just ask author Drew Philp about how incredible it is to eat an orange in the shower right after you wake up.

He told Zak Rosen about the morning ritual on “The Best Advice Show” podcast.

On a day when he might need some extra pep in his step, he’ll grab a cold orange from the fridge and take it in the shower to peel and eat.

The combination of a hot shower and the juicy orange make a great start to your day.
