The orange is originally from China and Indonesia. In Indonesia, the orange is green or greenish yellow, just like the lime. The grapefruit, which is much larger than here in Indonesia, also has a green skin. The fruit itself is just yellow and juicy. The fruit ended up in India via China and from there spread to the Middle East. The orange was brought to Europe at the end of the Middle Ages through traders such as the Moors, the Italians and the Portuguese

Orange prevents DNA damage
-
Free radicals damage DNA which can result in cancer. Vitamin C and all phytonutrients ensure that free radicals are removed from the body. Diseases in general have less chance and the immune system becomes stronger. Scientific research has determined that artificial vitamin C put into vitamin pills added to all kinds of drinks does not protect the DNA. It is rather the other way around, because due to a high percentage of vitamin C, even if it is the chemical inactive variant, the body will be more inclined to discharge the natural vitamin C from food such as orange into the bladder. In fact, adding artificial vitamin C is counterproductive on health and it is very special that it is allowed at all. Moreover, the drinks added with artificial vitamin C do not have the positive antioxidant effect of the phytonutrients in fresh fruit

Tropical against cardiovascular disease
-
Because free radicals oxidize cholesterol, here is a second important protection factor that the orange can offer us. Only oxidized cholesterol attaches to the vessel walls. Vitamin C prevents cholesterol from attaching to the vessel walls. In this way, the orange prevents arteriosclerosis, which is usually a precursor to all kinds of cardiovascular diseases
Healing power for diabetes patients
-
Eating oranges keeps the blood sugar levels under control. Diabetes patients benefit greatly from this. The natural fruit sugar, fructose in this tropical fruit prevents people from having high blood sugar after eating. Incidentally, this is different from the synthesized fructose that is added to soft drinks and jams. The fructose that manufacturers put into food is one of the main causes that people develop diabetes or diabetes mellitus. This is made clear in the documentary Hungry for Change
