Who does not like a delicious and juicy orange as a snack? I like to eat one or two oranges a day most of the year, as they are easy to eat and quickly provide energy. They also provide the following health benefits:

1. Oranges Contain Phytochemicals That Pprotect Against Cancer

Oranges are rich in citrus limonoids, which help fight a number of cancers, including those of the skin, lungs, breast, stomach and colon.

2. Orange Juice Can Help Prevent Kidney Disease

Drinking orange juice regularly prevents kidney disease & reduces the risk of kidney stones.

Note: drink juice in moderate amounts. The high sugar content of fruit juices can cause tooth decay and the high acid content can cause enamel to be consumed in excess.

3. According to Studies, Mandarins Fight Liver Cancer

According to studies, eating mandarin reduces liver cancer. This may be due in part to vitamin A compounds called carotenoids.

4. Oranges Reduce Cholesterol

Because they contain a lot of soluble fiber, oranges help lower cholesterol.

5. They are Rich in Potassium and Improve Heart Health

Oranges are full of potassium, a mineral electrolyte responsible for the proper functioning of the heart. When potassium levels get too low, you can develop an abnormal heart rhythm, called arrhythmia.

6. They Relieve Constipation

Oranges are rich in dietary fiber, which stimulate digestive juices and relieve constipation.

7. They Help The Eyes Health and Protect The Vision

Oranges are much rich in carotenoid compounds, which are converted to vitamin A and help prevent macular degeneration.

8. They Regulate High Blood Pressure

The flavonoid hesperidin found in oranges helps regulate high blood pressure, and magnesium in oranges helps maintain blood pressure.

9. They protect the skin

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

10. Oranges Make the Body Alkaline

Although oranges are acidic before digesting them, they contain many alkaline minerals that help balance the body after digestion. In this respect, they look like lemons, which are one of the most alkaline foods available.

11. Oranges Provide Intelligent Carbohydrates and do not Cause a Spike in Blood Sugar

Oranges, like all fruits, contain simple sugars, but the orange has a glycemic index of 40. Any value below 55 is considered low. This means that as long as you do not eat too many oranges at once, they will not increase your blood sugar level and will not cause insulin problems or weight gain.
