Hello everyone, I’m here to talk on the health benefits of oranges. Now without wasting much time lets get into this

Orange is a citrus fruit rich in vitamins and minerals. It has a spherical shape and it varies in color although it is usually the color orange as the name suggests.

     Now there many types of oranges which are:

1. acid less oranges

2. Navel oranges

3. Blood oranges

4. Tangerine

5. Mandarin oranges

6. Sweet oranges

 

Oranges are very important to the body as they contain the essential vitamins and minerals needed for sustainability of the body system. Some of these vitamins include:

• Vitamin C

• Vitamin B6

• Magnesium

• Calcium

• Fiber

• Carbohydrate

 

The many nutrients in oranges perform vital functions in the body such as:

• Vitamin C shields the cells in the body from damage.

• When taken in adequately can prevent anemia.

• It strengthens the immune system.

• Helps to fight cancer.

• It slows down the aging process.

Just as oranges are nutritious, taking too much oranges can also cause harm to the body such as

• Heartburn

As mentioned above, over consumption of oranges is not healthy, in the same way under consumption of oranges can cause

• Fatigue

• Depression

• Scurvy

• Rashes

• Rough skin

• Anemia, etc.

So far we have seen that moderation is needed not only for oranges but for everything we do. Oranges are good for the body and I recommend making it a part of your diet.
