The oranges and winter
2/2/10
The fruit of the orange is very decorative and fragrant, I was surprised to know that its origins are not at all like I thought mediterranean. The orange was born in East Asia it is believed to be present even already 4000 years BC. For some historical theories you think that some legionnaires may have arrived to China first discovered this delicious fruit. Arrived and cultivated in Italy around 1400 only belatedly.
The orange, known today as a classic winter fruit commonly recommended for its content in Vitamin C, however, is often used incorrectly and excessively.
And 'the common fact that you find written anywhere that a little orange juice daily, or even worse, orange juice preserved are absolutely the best thing to take in the winter to limit viral infection.
Not exactly so, while the content of vitamin C is not quite as impressive compared to other fruits. Keep in mind that currants and kiwi will contain much more, as well as papaya and strawberries and some vegetables such as peppers, spinach, cabbage and cauliflower, if cooked properly, can make a decent content in Vitamin C. Not to mention that parsley has a high content.
With the recommended five daily servings of fruits and vegetables is expected to exceed the greater the need for vitamin C daily (equal to about 50-60 mg), as well as many trace elements and micronutrients important ingredients with antioxidant and therefore anti-aging.
Certainly the smoker and heavy users of alcohol, not enough to limit the damage, not only oxidative, but not of his bad habits is certainly increasing the dose of juice a day that will improve their health. (more ...)
