Just 1 orange and I stopped spending money at the pharmacy. The fruit that increases collagen and detoxifies the body. Did you know that oranges, in addition to being delicious, have the power to eliminate heavy metals from our body?
So it is! Heavy metals, when accumulated in the body, can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to infections and illnesses. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic can accumulate over time, causing serious health problems.
We are exposed to them daily, whether through contaminated food, the consumption of processed foods, environmental pollution or the use of products such as lipsticks, creams, dyes, household utensils that release metals during cooking, old lead pipes and even smoking. Therefore, it is important to consume foods that help the body eliminate these metals naturally. And orange is a delicious way to do that!
Eliminating heavy metals contributes to the prevention of chronic diseases, improving the nervous system, strengthening immunity and much more. Do you have a habit of eating oranges? Yes or no?
Oranges have this power thanks to their white part, rich in pectin, a fiber that binds to heavy metals and removes them from the body. Including orange in your routine can bring numerous health benefits. Pectin helps detoxify the body, regulates the intestines, prevents constipation and promotes healthier digestion.
Furthermore, oranges are rich in vitamin C, which increases resistance to infections, helping to prevent colds and flu. Vitamin C also reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol and is essential for the production of collagen, which strengthens joints and skin. Another benefit of vitamin C is to improve the absorption of iron from plant sources, preventing and treating anemia.
The carotenoids present in oranges are converted into vitamin A, important for eye health. Antioxidants protect against age-related macular degeneration, and flavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflammation in the body. Do you want to have healthy skin?
So eat orange! Antioxidants help keep skin youthful by fighting free radical damage and promoting collagen production. What is the best way to consume orange?
To enjoy all the benefits, consume the whole fruit, with the pomace. The white part, often discarded, is the richest in pectin, essential for detoxifying the body. Eating oranges after meals, especially lunch, increases iron absorption, as vitamin C transforms non-heme iron (found in vegetables) into a form more easily absorbed by the body.
Consuming oranges as an afternoon snack is also an excellent way to provide energy, due to its natural sugar content, as well as vitamins and fiber. Including orange in your routine is simple and highly beneficial! It is a practical snack that can be taken anywhere.
