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.

Enjoy Review

Hello Ladies, Like many of us, we value the importance of treating our hair. It is one of the great things that makes us unique. 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. It gives my hair volume and it has a clean smell, if that makes any sense. My hair feels clean throughout the day and that makes me happy. 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...

Beginner's Green Recipe

A couple of months ago I watched a documentary on Netflix called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and I was motivated to change my lifestyle and eating habits. When I was younger, around 12-13 I believe I ended up in the hospital for a very bad ache on my stomach. I couldn't move and I fainted. I ended up staying in the hospital for about 3 days with IV's on my hands. I was very skinny less than 90 pounds. All I had eaten was a bag of Hot Cheetos and a Pepsi. I was dehydrated. I pretty much learned my lesson, I couldn't eat any meat for years, I stopped drinking soda and it took me 6 years for my stomach to be able to handle things suck as steak, or even a hamburger. Ok, I have to admit I did not eat healthy all throughout my college years because of time and money. Now that I am done with school I am trying to go back on track and change my eating habits. After watching the documentary I decide to try these juices they are talking so much about. I had never like...

I am very excited to share yet gain a Hask product I am absolutely in love with. This is the Hask Chia Seed Oil Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner duo that have hydra boost. I have always had straight hair and liveless for that matter so a volumizing shampoo is exactly what I need. With previous Hask products I have had great results so I had high hopes for this one since the beginning.  What I love about this collection is that it is free of sulfates, parabens, alcohol and artificial colors. Hask has a variety of products for your special hair needs, including  Hask give results they added volume to my usually straight hair.
