Oranges help with weight loss and promote healthy arteries, two factors important to lowering blood pressure. Oranges increase heart health and are high in appetite suppressing fiber. Oranges promote health in multiple ways.
Whether it's acne, allergies, pre-mature wrinkles, or serious medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease or asthma, oranges may be the answer, or at least a significant part of the solution.
Oranges fight bacterial infection and help boost collagen and elastin, two components of skin as well as arteries. A lot of the healing power of oranges has to do with the large amount of vitamin C and antioxidants found in oranges.
But, did you know that 42% of Americans don't get enough vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential not just for beautiful skin but for overall health.
Vitamin C wards off free radicals. Free radicals are unstable atoms that destroy healthy cells and cause chronic disease and premature aging.
