Orange Nutrition Benefits For Health and Weight Management
- One orange contains all the vitamin C your body needs for the day. Vitamin C from natural food sources helps your liver to detoxify. A healthy clean liver is essential for weight management.
- Calories in an orange are low and they contain no saturated fats or cholesterol.
- Oranges are rich in dietary fiber, pectin, which is very effective in persons with excess body weight. We use them both in our Weight Loss BootCamp and our Spring Cleanse Bootcamp. Toxins are stored in fat cells. If you are toxic you cannot lose that last 10 pounds now matter how you starve your body since your body is protecting you from those toxins by keeping them in storage.
- Orange fruit contains a variety of phytochemicals. Hesperetin, naringin, and naringenin are flavonoids found in citrus fruits.
- Oranges contain generous amounts of vitamin A precursors , and other flavonoid antioxidants such as alpha and beta-carotenes, beta-cryptoxanthin, zea-xanthin and lutein.
- Oranges contains minerals like potassium and calcium. Minerals are essential for acid/alkaline balance. A body that is too acidic cannot lose weight since that acid is considered a toxin which the body must store in its fat cells.

After the weekend you feel confident that you know how to eat properly. Your body remembers how good it felt too and so you will be encouraged to improve your eating habits.
