WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO EAT ORANGE?

The time of day when most nutrients are needed is prior to breakfast, but the body's digestive function isn't yet functioning properly.

At that time, orange consumption can help your body to get the necessary nutrients but it also activates an gastrointestinal function on its own. Organic acids from oranges are important for our health.

The oranges contain citric acids, malic acid, succinic acid and other organic acids. These organic acids have a very beneficial effect on the health of the gastrointestinal tract and can improve metabolism and gastrointestinal peristalsis.

Oranges have a particularly high vitamin C and Beta-carotene content that's ten times the levels of similar fruits. Vitamin C and beta-carotene may soften blood vessels and support the health of blood vessels in the heart and brain, in addition to improving blood vessel elasticity and strength.

Besides, oranges are filled with potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, phosphorus, selenium and many other minerals needed by the body.
