Why Oranges Are Good For You

[RedRobin]

Orange juice can help prevent kidney diseases.

Drinking orange juice regularly helps prevent kidney diseases and reduces the risk of kidney stones. (Remember to drink orange juice in moderate amounts though.)

Oranges lower cholesterol.

Oranges are helpful in lowering cholesterol because they’re full of soluble fibre.

They regulate high blood pressure.

Oranges contain flavonoid hesperidin and magnesium, which help regulate high blood pressure and oranges helps maintain blood pressure.

They are rich in potassium and boost heart health.

Oranges are full of potassium, an electrolyte mineral responsible for helping the heart function well.

They relieve constipation.

Oranges are full of dietary fiber, which stimulates digestive juices and relieves constipation.

They protect skin.

Oranges are full of beta-carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant that protects the cells from damage. Beta-carotene protects the skin from free radicals and helps prevent the signs of aging.

As someone who wanted nothing but oranges during pregnancy, I was happy to see this take! :)

Just about any edible fruit or vegetable is a rich source of health benefits.

[RedRobin]

Yes, but a lot of people don't know why they're good for you

[Unit1]

Yes, yes, yes! Indeed!
Hell, I have even heard how someone thinks, that fruits are too rich on sugar, which is unhealthy.

Like all sugar is bad. I think glucose occurring in fruits is also beneficial. And for that reason they abstain from eating fruits. 🤦

I personally love Bananas.

Nobody has been able to adequately explain to me why orange juice is so unhealthy and "full of sugar". There's no difference between a full orange going in my mouth and me putting an orange in the blender and then drinking it.

Is it odd that I like eating the white part of an orange?

[RedRobin]

No, not really, a lot of people do it

I like freshly made orange juice, pulp or no pulp, doesn't really matter.
