All Kinds of Goodness in a Florida Orange
For years we’ve been told that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” That might have more to do with the necessity of having a daily serving of fruits and vegetables then with the particular fruit. Based on many estimates and studies, if you were only to have one piece of fruit a day it should be a Florida orange. If you’re on the go and can’t take the time for the simple joy of peeling an orange, then you could get the same benefits from a glass of fresh Florida orange juice.
One glass of Florida orange juice is packed with all the Vitamin C you need for the day. It’s that vitamin that helps your body repair damaged cells. You might not think you’re cells are damaged but the human body is constantly shedding skin and being bombarded with all kinds of environmental irritants. Your poor skin cells need all the antioxidant help they can get and thanks to a single Florida orange, it will be mission accomplished for Vitamin C. But that’s not all!
Florida oranges are also loaded with Folate which is an offshoot of a B vitamin. Where does that come into play for your body? According to the March of Dimes, “Adequate Folic acid, the B vitamin in orange juice, may reduce the risk of certain birth defects.” To put it simply, medical surveys have found that women who are either pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant that eat a healthy diet containing the abundance of Folate like you’d get in Florida oranges can actually decrease the risk for some common birth defects. On the other side, men need Folate too to help maintain their strength and support cell growth. But wait, there’s more!
From the American Cancer Society comes this powerful finding, “Florida orange juice, as part of a healthy diet, helps in the fight against cancer.” It doesn’t get any simpler than that. Researchers have concluded that a low-fat diet that is chock full of Vitamin C enriched foods can help reduce the risk of some common forms of cancer. And you’re not going to find anything with more Vitamin C then with Florida oranges. But hold on, the orange isn’t done yet!
The American Heart Association has named 100% pure Florida orange juice as part of a heart-healthy diet. It’s an easy equation to follow. Florida oranges are loaded with good fiber. Good fiber helps lower your cholesterol. Lower cholesterol means less pressure on the heart. Less pressure on the heart equals reduced risk for heart attacks or disease.
To sum it all up, Florida oranges are your best daily source for a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals. You just can’t beat the taste and what a Florida orange can do for you!
