Orange (Uni)

Orange is a fruit rich in vitamin C, which brings the following benefits to the body:

Reduces high cholesterol, because it is rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that hinders the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine;

Prevents breast cancer, because it is rich in flavonoids, strong antioxidants that prevent changes in cells;

Keeps skin healthy and prevents premature aging, because it is rich in vitamin C, which helps to form collagen;

Strengthens the immune system, as it is rich in vitamin C;

Prevents atherosclerosis and protects the heart, as it is rich in antioxidants.

To obtain these benefits, you should consume at least one orange per day or 150 ml of natural juice, which has the disadvantage of lacking the fiber found in fresh fruit. Furthermore, oranges added to cooked or baked recipes have fewer nutrients than raw fruit.
