#Orange Magical #Nature

#Oranges have been called a “ #perfect #food ” and contain an #amazing array of #healing #vitamins, #minerals, #antioxidants, and #phyto-nutrients.

Oranges are high in #vitamin #C , vitamin #A, #B-complex vitamins, #folate, #beta-carotene, #lutein, and minerals such as #calcium, #magnesium, #iron, and #potassium.

Oranges have been known to help #prevent-cancer, lower high blood pressure, fight off viral infections, relieve constipation, keep bones and teeth strong, #prevent-kidney-stones and #macular-degeneration.

Oranges are rich in lime and alkaline salts that help to counteract and prevent acidosis in the body. They are also excellent for the digestive tract and help to remove toxic debris from the colon through enhanced peristaltic action.

Oranges contain a significant amount of #glutathione which is critical for healthy #eye and #lung function. Oranges are very good for #respiratory problems such as #asthma or #bronchitis and #cardiovascular issues such as #hypertension and #COPD.

Oranges act as an #internal #antiseptic to the body and have the ability to purify and strengthen all the organs in the body. Oranges contain #anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties which are particularly beneficial for those suffering with a cold or flu or an auto-immune disorder such as shingles, arthritis, IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and raynaud’s disease.

Fresh squeezed orange #juice is a predigested food and allows for immediate absorption of all it’s abundant healing properties. However, be aware that orange juice will lose the majority of its vitamin C content within 30 minutes of being squeezed, so for optimum results #drink immediately. Whole oranges, peeled or cut in slices, are the best option as the fiber and pith is where so many of the phytonutrients and healing properties are contained.

Oranges are an excellent weight loss food due to their high pectin content which also helps to reduce blood cholesterol.
