The delicious orange fruit provides us with many health benefits, so what are the most prominent? How can it be incorporated into healthy, delicious and beneficial recipes at the same time?
In the report published by the French site “Maman Pour La Vie”, writer Marie Yves Bourassa said that oranges are a good source of vitamin “C” (C), and it also contains antioxidants.
Several studies have shown that regular consumption of this type of citrus can reduce the risk of some types of cancer, including esophageal, oral and pharyngeal cancer. Vitamin C found in oranges has also been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Because it contains vitamin “C”, we usually drink orange juice when we have a cold, but can oranges prevent or reduce cold symptoms?
Researchers conducted many studies to answer this question, and they concluded that vitamin “C” does not reduce the risk of colds, but it may help relieve symptoms.
According to the author, more than 40% of the oranges in the world turn into juices, but in most cases it is better to eat whole and fresh oranges to get the full benefit.
