It's citrus fruit season so skip the high sugar orange juices and indulge in a fresh piece of citrus fruit!
Most citrus fruits are known for their vitamin C, but what we don't hear about are all the other essential nutrients they contain. Citrus fruits contain folate, calcium, potassium, niacin etc. They also contain no sodium or fat, and have a low average energy value (take less calories to burn). Citrus fruits also help prevent cancer, and lower risk for diseases such as cataracts, kidney stones, asthma, and anemia. These are all just a few examples of this amazing fruits ability.
