When I get sick the first thing that I go for in my refrigerator is the bottle of orange juice because of all the natural vitamins, it has in it that will help my immune system. Oranges are good for you, so read up on the nutrition analysis of oranges and how you can benefit from them.

Citrus fruits, as such, have long been valued for their wholesome nutritious and antioxidant properties. It is scientifically established that citrus fruits, especially oranges, by virtue of their richness in vitamins and minerals, have many proven health benefits. Moreover, it is now beginning to be appreciated that the other biologically active, non-nutrient compounds in the citrus fruits such as phyto-chemical antioxidants, soluble and insoluble dietary fiber helps in cutting risk for cancers, chronic diseases like arthritis, obesity, and coronary heart diseases. Here follows the list of other health benefits of the orange.

If you are having blood pressure issues the best thing that you can do is grab an orange. Oranges can help keep your blood pressure in balance because of the magnesium that is within them. Oranges are also great if you have dehydration problems because of the electrolytes in them which in turns keep your cardiovascular system healthy. Oranges have many great vitamins and minerals in them such as Beta carotene (which helps in keeping cells healthy), Calcium (helps aid in having healthy teeth and bones), potassium, magnesium and folic acid which help brain development.
