PERSON WHOM MAY CONSUME ORANGE
  • ARTERIOSCLEROSIS

  • It is commonly known as hardening of the arteries. Arteriosclerosis is a disease characterized by thickened and hardened artery walls. This is caused due to excess intake of fats. While consuming too much fats, fatty substance, cholesterols, cellular waste product, calcium and many other material building up in an artery. The substance building up in the blood vessels can significantly reduce the blood flow in an artery, therefore can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Regular consumption of vitamin C retards the development of hardening of the arteries. The vitamin C in oranges can prevent hardening of the arteries and thus, prevent arteriosclerosis.

  • CANCER
  • Oranges play a significant health benefit in preventing cancer. for example, the Mediterranean diet, which includes a considerable amount of citrus, is associated with a low incidence of cancers of the breast, lung, pancreas, colon, rectum, and cervix. citrus fruits contain numerous known anticancer agents—possibly more than any other food. In the oil of the peel of citrus fruits is a phytonutrient known as limonene. Oranges, mandarins, lemons, and limes contain significant amounts of limonene in the peel and smaller quantities in the pulp. Limonene stimulates our antioxidant detoxification enzyme system, thus helping to stop cancer before it can even begin. (It’s reassuring to know that a natural chemopreventive phytonutrient can work to prevent the process of carcinogenesis at the earliest stages.) Vitamin C, abundantly available in oranges, also plays a role in fighting cancer. In fact, there’s a relatively consistent inverse association of vitamin C with cancer of the stomach, oral cancer, and cancer of the esophagus. This makes sense, as vitamin C protects against nitrosamines, cancer-causing agents found in food that are thought to be responsible for instigating cancers of the mouth, stomach, and colon.

  • SPERM REPAIR

  • An orange a day is also sufficient for a man to keep his sperms healthy.  Vitamin C, an anti-oxidant, protects sperms from damage that may cause a birth defect. It helps to keep the sperm as much as healthy .hence those who have this problem can consume orange juice daily

  • KIDNEY STONE
  • A glass of orange juice daily helps to prevent kidney stones better than other citrus juices like lemonade. Many people think all citrus juices prevent the formation of kidney stones. But not all citrus juices have the same protective effect in people at risk for the painful condition.Kidney stones develop when minerals and other chemicals in the urine become too concentrated. At same time these crystals bind to form a stone.

  • HEART DISEASE

  • The Vitamin C rich in oranges are very good for health. This citrus fruit has a big positive impact on the heart health. Oranges are highly nutritious fruits and the powerhouse of Vitamin C. They also contain good amount of dietary fiber. Other than these, oranges are very good sources of folate, Vitamin B1 or thiamine, Vitamin A, potassium and calcium. Oranges are known for their phytochemical power as well. They contain loads of phytochemicals or phytonutrients. These plant chemicals are crucial for the human health as they protect against many diseases. These phytonutrients such as citrus flavanones, anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids, and polyphenols, in combination with Vitamin C make it a great fruit for the health. In addition, a flavanone called hesperidin in oranges is known for its ability to improve heart health.
    Vitamin C plays an important role to keep the heart healthy. It fights against free radicals and prevents the damage in the cells. In this way Vitamin C prevents cholesterol to be oxidized. Oxidized cholesterol sticks to the artery walls, builds up plaques, which blocks or prevents the blood flow and that can lead to heart attack or stroke. Vitamin C, by neutralizing free radicals and preventing the oxidization of cholesterol, helps to keep the heart healthy and risk free.
    The orange juice is very good for reducing blood pressure levels. flavanone,in oranges improves blood vessel function and also lowers high blood pressure level. It is helpful in reducing blood cholesterol levels as well. The citrus fruits, oranges are fat free and cholesterol free. In addition, they are very good sources of dietary fiber. A diet that is fat free and cholesterol free and rich with fiber is always great for the heart health.
    Folate also plays an important role in heart health. It processes the amino acid homocysteine in the body and if the folate is not sufficient in the body then unprocessed homocysteine accumulates in the blood. This can lead to heart attack.Other minerals in oranges are also important for the heart. Potassium is very helpful in reducing the blood pressure levels and in preventing stroke. Calcium is a very helpful mineral for maintaining blood pressure levels as well. It is also required for nerve transmission and regulation of heart muscle contraction.
