Of course, it's impossible to talk about vitamin C without mentioning the role it plays in preventing heart disease by stopping free radicals from damaging artery walls, which leads to the formation of deadly plaque. The benefits of a diet rich in oranges go beyond getting your Vitamin C.
Oranges also are chock full of beta carotene, calcium, folic acid, magnesium, potassium and thiamin. There's no denying this popular fruit packs a nutritional punch. It's also a good source of fiber with one orange providing 12.5 percent of the daily value. Consuming fiber also keeps the body feeling satiated, and you're less likely to fill up on empty calories. At the very least, add an orange a day to your diet. Available from winter to summer, you shouldn't have any problem filling your fridge with this fabulous fruit.
