Flu Season Survival
It's no secret. Oranges pack a wallup when it comes to vitamin C. One average sized orange can provide enough vitamin C for an adult male. That's right! You actually don't need a vitamin C supplement if you eat an orange every day. In addition to vitamin C, oranges have vitamin A, fiber, potassium, and thiamin. It's hard to believe that a fruit this juicy and sweet can help prevent cardio vascular disease, cancer, heart attack, stroke, and infections.

Think of your body as a very complex machine. Machines need properly functioning parts and fuel to operate. In order for the parts of the machine to work properly, they must be maintained. The combination of vitamins and minerals within an orange disperse themselves within your body, slowing down free radicals that can break down the body's celular and leave it susceptible to infection and disease. Vitamin C is known to increase the body's ability to protect itself against cold and flu by strengthening the immune system. Fiber is critical to proper digestion while potassium assists with the reducing the possibility of high blood pressure, digestive problems, heart disease, infertility, arthritis, and cancer.

So, when you think about your daily diet, consider adding oranges. The body needs maintenance every day. Maintenance can be either preventative or corrective. In the case of oranges, their nutrients provide both forms of maintenance for the body and should be considered one of the primary foods you consume for cold and flu prevention.
