These are very seasonal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Nutritional Benefits Of Eating An Orange<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vitamins And Minerals<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All the different types of oranges listed above are rich in vitamin C. Oranges provide your body with more than 100% of its daily recommended intake. Therefore, it goes without saying that oranges are one of the best natural sources of Vitamin C.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A medium sized orange (130g) will provide an adult male with about 77% of his daily recommended intake of vitamin C. The same will provide an adult female with approximately 93% of the recommended daily intake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Along with this, an orange also contains Potassium and B vitamins like Thiamin and Folate. These help your body by making sure that all the cells are functioning properly. B vitamins have benefit your body immensely. Their health benefits include better metabolism, maintaining healthy body tissue as well as healthy skin and brain cells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>High In Fiber, Calcium And Low In Calories<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oranges are a great source of fiber and calcium for the body. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pectin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are some of the key dietary fibers found in an orange and have numerous health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having a high calcium content, oranges help keep your bones, organs and muscles strong as ever. Calcium is a key nutrient that helps make sure that our heart, muscles and nerves function properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite being composed mainly of carbs and water, oranges are very low in calories. An average sized orange (130g) contains only 61.6 calories. This makes it the fruit of choice for individuals looking to lose weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Naturally Sweetened<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s about 12g of sugar (the dominant carb in an orange) in an average sized orange. However, these sugars are far from the ones you find in your favourite bar of candy. Oranges contain <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simple sugars\u00a0 such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, oranges have a low GI (Glycemic Index). This is a measure of how quickly the sugar enters the bloodstream. With a GI of 31-51, oranges have numerous health benefits owed to its low GI.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Anti-Oxidants<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Phenolics and Carotenoids are the two pivotal plant based antioxidants that an orange contains. These antioxidants carry numerous health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oranges are an excellent source of phenolics, mainly flavonoids. A citrus flavonoid named Hesperidin and an antioxidant flavonoid named Anthocyanins are the two phenolics present in an orange. Anthocyanins are responsible for the red fresh of blood oranges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Responsible for their rich colour, carotenoids are antioxidants that all citrus fruits contain in abundance. One of these is beta-cryptoxanthin, an antioxidant our body converts into vitamin A. Another carotenoid found mainly in red fleshed Navel oranges is Lycopene. It is a compound that has numerous health benefits which include lowering the risk of certain types of cancers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Health Benefits\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h5><strong>Keeps The Heart Healthy And Controls Blood Pressure<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An Orange is a good source of fiber, potassium and calcium which are all nutrients that support heart health. A high potassium content can help manage high blood pressure and prevent heart diseases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, flavonoids like hesperidin which are present in oranges may also help protect your heart from any diseases. Along with this, certain isolated fiber content in citrus fruits also may help decrease blood cholesterol levels. This helps reduce the risk of heart problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Prevents Kidney Stones\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/citric-acid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">citric acid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and citrates are both believed to be effective in preventing the formation of kidney stones, and lucky for us, oranges contain both of these.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, please do not hesitate to eat a tasty orange to reduce the risk of developing a kidney stone. It\u2019s a win-win situation!<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Helps In Preventing Anemia<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anemia is a health condition in which the body does not have a sufficient amount of healthy red blood cells. This means that\u00a0 the level of hemoglobin in the blood is low, which results in a decrease in its ability to carry oxygen throughout the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iron deficiency is the root cause of Anemia. Although oranges are not rich in iron, they\u2019re a reliable source of organic acids like ascorbic and citric acid. This pair of organic acids is known to improve the body\u2019s ability to absorb irons from the digestive tract. Therefore, although not a direct source of iron, oranges do help prevent anemia if paired with iron rich foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>It\u2019s Anti-Inflammatory<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your body experiences inflammation when your immune system is under attack. In the long run inflammation can cause further and more serious health complications. Vitamin C helps greatly in strengthening your immune system.
