You may not believe us if we told you that all you need to keep your vitamin C levels in-check is eat an orange every day. But the fact is, even one orange has the capacity to meet our daily requirement of this vitamin as it has it in abundance. Our body needs vitamin C to absorb iron, keep our immunity levels high and also for healthy hair, skin, teeth, etc.
If you injure yourself, the vitamin C in oranges will help heal the wound faster as it helps produce collagen. Oranges also have flavonoids like hesperidin which reduces cholesterol and prevents your arteries from getting blocked. Eat the fibre along too if you want to keep stomach ulcers at bay. Not just this, oranges also have a few other vitamins in trace amounts. So yes, an orange a day can keep you healthy always!
