Benefits of Eating Oranges

So Lately I have been eating a lot of oranges. I don't know why if I don't really like oranges. So I started getting concerned, I did not feel bad or sick and I was eating around 10 oranges throughout the day. So I was looking online if there is a limit of how many you can eat everyday. Turns out you have to eat 100 every day for a whole month to have kidney failure. Of course I don't know anyone who would do this and I am sure I wouldn't do it my self. As I was looking at this I also found interesting information about the benefits of eating oranges.




1. Prevention of Cancer
The American Cancer society states that increasing your intake of vitamin C helps prevent cancers of the respiratory tract.

2. Dietary Fiber
Eating oranges helps to obtain the necessary fiber for the prevention of constipation.

3. Vitamins and Minerals
Oranges also contain vitamins A, B, folic acid, chlorine, iron, zinc, phosphorus, iodine, manganese, potassium, pectin, amino acids and calcium.

4. Liminoid
Believed to stop the formation of cancers in the mouth, colon, stomach, lung, breast and skin.

5. Prevention of Arthritis
The antioxidant beta-cryptoxanthin helps reduce the risk of arthritis.

6. Lowering Your Cholesterol
Oranges are full of soluble fiber, which is especially beneficial for lowering cholesterol levels.

I eat a lot of oranges too. Now I feel better- I was feeling like a citrus freak for a few months there.

In order to get my hair that smooth feeling and shine I love using products that I can trust. I got the opportunity to try out the Enjoy Hair Moisture Plus Trio. This is great for damaged hair and you know you need this when the weather is changing. I have to say this is one of my favorite hair products so far. I love the Enjoy Hair Mask. My hair has never felt better. Though I do not have perfect hair and I use a flat iron and curler on my hair on a regular basis using this trio has made me feel like I can wear my hair down without using any heat.

The shampoo and conditioner are thick and silky so you don't have to use a lot of product to feel the difference. Overall I think these are great products, they are o
