One navel orange provides about 4 ounces, or half a cup of water.
Usually, people get about 20% of their fluids from food. Water-rich foods like oranges can help you meet your daily requirements and keep you hydrated.
—Improves digestion
One medium navel orange offers about three grams of fiber. The Food and Drug Administration advises getting 28 grams of fiber daily.
—May help reduce belly fat
The fiber content of oranges can help reduce belly fat, or visceral fat or obesity. Metabolic syndrome is a group of health conditions that raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
—Supports immune system
One medium navel orange packs nearly 100% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C for males and even more for females. Vitamin C supports the immune system. The body also uses vitamin C to make collagen and use fat as fuel during exercise and at rest.
Helps lower cancer risk
Orange peels pack some of the highest flavonoids and Vitamin C content than any citrus fruit. A review published in 2020 found that the flavonoids in citrus peels help prevent cancer cells from growing and spreading. For example, flavonoids help regulate, or programme, cell death. Apoptosis is a process the body uses to kill off abnormal cells before they multiply and grow out of control.
