Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits, including oranges, mandarins, tangelos, tangerines, and grapefruit, are a great source of vitamin C and flavonoids, making them a nutritious addition to any diet. They are highly recommended for liver health, skin health, digestion, and weight control, despite their high sugar content. One 100-gram orange contains around 45 kilocalories, making it a healthy and low-calorie snack.
To maximize the benefits of citrus fruits, it’s best to consume them fresh after peeling rather than squeezing and drinking them. The peel of some citrus fruits can also be used in many ways, such as making tea or natural cleaning solutions. Many nutritionists suggest starting each day with a glass of water with squeezed lemon juice, which may aid in weight loss and digestion, leading to a smoother digestive system.
