Research shows that orange juice may help increase levels of “good” HDL cholesterol and decrease total and “bad” LDL cholesterol, as well as diastolic blood pressure. It’s a good source of antioxidants-flavonoids, carotenoids and asorbic acid (yay for color). Orange juice contains a bunch of good-for-you nutrients: Vitamin C, folate, potassium and more. Vitamin C is important for collagen synthesis and helps keep our immune systems healthy, fights free radicals in the body and boosts iron absorption for vegetarians and vegans. The Daily Value for Vitamin C is 75mg for women and 90mg for men. Honestly, my gut says skip it, but the science actually gave me a mixed bag. Is it good for you? Should you include it in a healthful diet routine? What about all the sugar content? Is OJ a tool to boost immunity and keep you healthy?Īll great questions.
