Top 10 Health Benefits of Oranges
2
1. Boosts Immunity
  • Being a citrus fruit, oranges are loaded with
    vitamin C that is essential for strengthening the
    immune system. Vitamin C promotes the production
    of white blood cells that fight against viruses,
    bacteria and other foreign invaders.
  • Moreover, oranges contain plenty of polyphenols
    that protect against viral infections. Plus, they
    provide vitamin A, folate and copper, all
    nutrients that play a crucial role in boosting
    immunity.
  • Eat a few oranges or drink a glass or two of
    orange juice daily to give a boost to your immune
    system.

2. Rejuvenates Skin
  • The high vitamin C content in oranges makes them
    an excellent fruit for clear and flawless skin.
    This antioxidant vitamin combats skin damage
    caused by exposure to sun and environmental
    pollution. In addition, it plays a key role in
    the formation of collagen, thereby improving skin
    elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
  • To derive the skin benefits of this citrus fruit,
    you can eat oranges, drink orange juice and also
    apply orange juice to your skin.
  • You can even use the peels of the fruit to make a
    face mask. The citric acid in the peels lightens
    and brightens the skin and also opens up clogged
    pores. Check out our recipe for a homemade dried
    orange peel face mask.

3. Lowers Cholesterol
  • Oranges contain pectin, a soluble fiber that
    traps cholesterol and eliminates it from the body
    before it is absorbed in the bloodstream. Plus,
    they contain the flavonone hesperidin that has
    been found to lower cholesterol as well as blood
    pressure levels.
  • In fact, research indicates that the flavanones
    present in orange juice lower LDL (bad)
    cholesterol and also increase the ratio of
    good-to-bad cholesterol.
  • So, include an orange as well as a glass of fresh
    orange juice in your regular diet to combat
    cholesterol problems. Drinking two glasses of
    fresh orange juice daily will also help lower
    high blood pressure.

4. Heart Healthy
  • Being rich in antioxidants, folate and potassium,
    oranges are great for heart health. The
    antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, present in
    oranges protect the arteries from free radicals
    and prevent the oxidation of cholesterol.
  • Also, oranges have phytochemicals that prevent
    platelets from sticking together and strengthen
    blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to
    the bodys cells.
  • Folate, or vitamin B9, processes the amino acid
    homocysteine in the body. High levels of
    homocysteine may cause a heart attack,
    irrespective of a persons cholesterol levels.
  • Potassium is another crucial nutrient for heart
    health as it plays a key role in heart functions
    and muscle contractions. Plus, research has found
    that the flavonone hesperidin present in the
    fruit and its juice contributes to vascular
    protective effects.
  • So, eat a fresh orange or drink a glass of orange
    juice daily to maintain heart health.

5. Protects Against Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • According to a study published in the American
    Journal of Clinical Nutrition, drinking one glass
    of freshly squeezed orange juice daily can assist
    in reducing the risk of developing rheumatoid
    arthritis.
  • Being a good source of the antioxidant vitamin C,
    orange juice helps reduce swelling and
    inflammation of the joints. Moreover, its
    phytonutrients zeaxanthin and beta-cryptoxanthin
    protect against oxidative damage that can result
    in inflammation.

6. Prevents Kidney Stones
  • The high vitamin C present in oranges is
    excellent for kidney health too. It helps reduce
    the risk of developing calcium oxalate kidney
    stones by increasing the level of citrate in the
    urine, which neutralizes acids and inhibits
    kidney stone formation by reducing the
    crystallization of uric acid and calcium oxalate.
  • In fact, researchers at the University of Texas
    Southwestern Medical Center suggest that drinking
    a glass of orange juice daily can be more
    effective in preventing kidney stones than other
    citrus fruit juices.

7. Aids Weight Loss
  • Oranges are an incredible superfood for weight
    loss. The high fiber and vitamin C content of the
    fruit promotes weight loss. The fiber keeps you
    feeling full and helps you eat less throughout
    the day and vitamin C converts glucose into
    energy and helps burn fat. Plus, oranges are a
    great low-calorie and fat-free source of
    nutrients required for a healthy body.
  • For best results, start your day with an orange
    and also drink a glass of fresh orange juice
    daily. Stay away from packaged fruit juices
    though, as many are loaded with sweeteners and
    preservatives.

8. Prevents Cancer
  • Oranges also help prevent cancer because of their
    antioxidant compounds, such as hesperidin and
    naringenin that fight free radicals.
  • Zeaxanthin and carotenoids, in particular,
    protect against different types of cancers,
    especially prostate cancer. The compounds called
    limonoids present in the fruit fight cancers of
    the mouth, breast, lung, skin, stomach and colon.
  • Parents will also want to know that a study
    published in the American Journal of Epidemiology
    found that the intake of oranges, orange juice
    and bananas in the first two years of life may
    cut the risk of developing childhood leukemia.
    Furthermore, orange juice contributes to
    chemoprevention against mammary, hepatic and
    colon cancers.
