Citrus fruits are a great buy during January and oranges top the list of family favorites. One orange has only 60 calories and supplies an entire day’s work of vitamin C requirements. Research has shown that people with high vitamin C blood levels also have higher levels of good cholesterol. Plus, the soluble fiber from each orange may help lower the bad cholesterol. Oranges are also rich in potassium and folate, both of which have been found to have a role in heart health. The health benefits don’t just stop at the heart! Oranges contain terpenes and flavonoids which help protect the body against cancer.
