If you’ve been eating more fast food than you should be eating or not taking the time to eat properly lately it’s time to get back on track and back on a healthy diet. Even if you don’t need to lose weight you are raising your risk of developing Type II diabetes by eating a lot of fast food or processed foods. Doctors have reported a 25% increase in the number of average weight patients who are developing Type II diabetes and they say it’s primarily because of an unhealthy diet. Navel oranges are a satisfying snack that will keep you full and satisfy your sweet cravings in a delicious and healthy way. Navel oranges, tangerines and other citrus fruits are all low in calories. Navel oranges have around 80 calories per fruit, which is about one third of the calories in a candy bar.

Citrus fruits are also rich in the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function properly. Some of the vitamins that your body needs you cannot get some supplements; they have to come from the food that you eat. Navel oranges are one of the best sources of Vitamin C, B Complex vitamins and minerals like Magnesium. If your body doesn’t get the nutrients it needs to function well then waste can build up in your cells and your immune system can stop functioning as well as it should which can leave you open to germs and getting sick. Eating at least two navel oranges a day, or other citrus fruits, is a great way to eat healthy and get the vitamins and minerals that you need to stay healthy.
Navel oranges are also low in carbs, if you’re following a healthy low carb diet and want to find a sweet snack that will fit a low carb diet. A medium sized orange has about 20 grams of carbs, and some of those are fiber and will not count towards your daily carb limit. So skip the expensive brand name low carb bars, shakes and other snacks. Just have a tasty orange or drink some fresh squeezed juice from some navel oranges and you’ll get the snack you’re craving without going off your healthy diet.
