Benefits of Oranges

It is well-known that oranges are good for health because they contain Vitamin C. Oranges offer many other health benefits as well.

Oranges are not only a good source of Vitamin C but also of other vitamins called citrus limonoids. These limonoids help fight cancers of the mouth, skin, lung, breast, stomach and colon in animals. Researchers are looking for ways to use these findings to help humans.

Oranges are a great source of iron and they help keep cholesterol levels low. They are also rich in calcium, and hence, are good for the bones.

Thanks to their Vitamin C content, oranges can fight bacteria as well as prevent colds and the flu. Vitamin C is very helpful in fighting airborne germs during the winter months. You can eat an orange or take orange tablets to raise your Vitamin C levels.
