Helps promote heart health

Heart disease is presently the leading cause of mortality worldwide. If consumed at appropriate levels, a variety of minerals and plant compounds contained in oranges, including vitamin C, flavonoids, and carotenoids, may help improve heart health and lower the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, eating oranges and drinking orange juice on a daily basis may help minimize risk factors for heart disease.

Consuming adequate fiber, according to a 2017 assessment of prior meta-analyses, can greatly lower the chance of heart disease developing and being deadly. The evaluation attributes this impact to its capacity to decrease blood cholesterol levels. A cup of orange juice contains 14% of a person's daily potassium intake. According to the ODS, those who consume more potassium may have a decreased risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disorders. They ascribe this mostly to the effects of potassium on blood pressure.
