3. Aids in Maintaining Good Blood Pressure

Oranges are naturally low in sodium and a great source of vitamin C and potassium. Eating an orange every day can also help you maintain a healthy blood pressure by keeping your salt intake low.

To reduce a person’s risk of blood pressure, they need to increase their potassium intake. Potassium is important and positively associated with lowering blood pressure, as well. This can support better relaxation of blood vessels, which in turn lowers the risk for stroke.

An average orange provides around 8% of the RDA of thiamine, one of the B vitamins, for female adults and 6% for males. Some studies suggest that people with high intake of thiamine are less likely to develop cataracts.

5. Helps in Preventing Birth Defects

Folate is one of the more important B vitamins, which can be found in oranges. Its synthetic form, known as folic acid, is important in fetal development and can prevent neural tube defects. That’s why it’s especially important for pregnant or expecting mothers to make sure they’re getting enough.
