Orange

The orange is the most popular and widespread of the citrus fruit. It is very delicious and nourishing fruit. It is a rich source of protective food ingredients like vitamins A, B, C as well as calcium, and its health-promoting properties emanate from these nutrients. Being a predigested food, it produces heat and energy in the body immediately after its use.

Orange is a powerful anti-oxidant food, being rich in antioxidant vitamin c and beta-carotene. It contains all classes of known natural cancer inhibitor, namely carotenoids, terpenes and flavonoids. It protects against several types of cancers, especially pancreatic cancer. By virtue of its richness in Vitamin C, it may ward off asthma attacks, bronchitis, atherosclerosis and gum disease. It may also boost fertility and health sperms in some men.
