The list below will explain the main health benefits that this fruit juice brings.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants<\/h3>\n<p>Orange juice is a nutrient-dense beverage rich in <strong>vitamin C<\/strong>. The latter is responsible for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5707683\">healthy immune system<\/a> as well as skin and <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26343111\/\">bone health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin C plays a key role in <strong>collagen production<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/collagen\/\">Collagen<\/a> is a major component that makes up skin, bones, muscles, and blood vessels. It also has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/engineering\/collagen-synthesis\">anti-aging<\/a> properties.<\/p>\n<p>Orange juice is rich in <a href=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/antioxidant-foods\/\">antioxidants<\/a>. The most common antioxidants found in orange juice are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2533031\">flavonoids, carotenoids, and, of course, vitamin C<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flavonoids <\/strong>serve as free radical scavengers. To put it simply, they <strong>protect <\/strong>your body from <strong>destructive molecules<\/strong> that have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3249911\">linked<\/a> to diseases such as <strong>cataract<\/strong>, <strong>rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong>, and even <strong>cancer<\/strong>. Free radical damage to your cells can also increase the risk of <strong>heart<\/strong> <strong>disease<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Some studies show that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/fnut.2020.00063\">increase your flavonoids by drinking orange juice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carotenoids<\/strong> are powerful antioxidants generally found in yellow\/orange vegetables and fruits. They may promote <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12134711\/\">eye health<\/a> and maintain proper <a href=\"https:\/\/lpi.oregonstate.edu\/mic\/dietary-factors\/phytochemicals\/carotenoids#immune-function\">immune function<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Research suggests that carotenoids <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/biof.5520130115\">may <strong>prevent<\/strong> certain types of <strong>cancer<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin meaning it\u2019s not stored in your body. Moreover, humans don&#8217;t produce it, making it crucial to consume vitamin C through a healthy diet which could include a daily glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Helps prevent kidney stones<\/h3>\n<p>Orange juice contains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3731916\">potassium citrate<\/a> which is associated with a <strong>reduced risk of kidney stones<\/strong>. Research has shown that the consumption of orange juice <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2215\/CJN.00800306\">increases the <strong>levels of citrate<\/strong><\/a> in urine.<\/p>\n<p>High levels of potassium citrate <strong>may prevent the formation of kidney stones,<\/strong> whereas low levels put you at risk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.dofasting.com\/foods-high-in-potassium\/\">You can get potassium<\/a> citrate by consuming citrus fruits (and juice) or taking supplements.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to keep in mind that drinking orange juice won\u2019t be beneficial for kidney stone prevention if the cause is something other than low citrate levels. Additionally, overconsumption of orange juice, or more specifically, vitamin C, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/vitamin-c\/\">may increase the risk of kidney stones<\/a> in individuals with a history of kidney disease.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, it was believed that calcium was the cause of kidney stones. Interestingly, research suggests that calcium does the exact opposite. Calcium-fortified orange juice may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yalemedicine.org\/news\/how-to-prevent-kidney-stones\">make the risk of kidney stones even lower<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. May reduce inflammation<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Inflammation<\/strong> is often <strong>associated<\/strong> with <a href=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/what-is-oxidative-stress\/\">oxidative stress<\/a>, an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3249911\">which results in damage to cells<\/a>. Moreover, oxidative stress may contribute to the formation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/omcl\/2016\/7432797\/\">chronic inflammation<\/a> and other <strong>chronic diseases<\/strong> like different types of arthritis, heart disease, and cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antioxidants<\/strong> neutralize free radicals helping you <strong>prevent oxidative stress<\/strong>. While the human body <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/understanding-antioxidants\">produces certain antioxidants on its own<\/a>, some antioxidants must come from healthy eating. This includes vitamin C, flavonoids, and carotenoids.<\/p>\n<p>As discussed previously, orange juice is rich in antioxidants which can help you reduce short-term inflammation. Most importantly, orange juice consumption may help you avoid oxidative stress.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"cta-shortcode__wrap\">\n        <section class=\"cta-shortcode blue\" >\n\n                            <h3>Take a <br \/>\r\n1-minute quiz<\/h3>\n                                        <h5>and discover how much weight you can lose with DoFasting!<\/h5>\n                                        <div class=\"actions two-buttons\">\n                                                                    <a class=\"btn blue\" href=\"https:\/\/new.dofasting.com\/simple?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=blue_blog_post_cta_male\" target=\"_blank\">MALE<\/a>\n                                                                    <a class=\"btn pink\" href=\"https:\/\/new.dofasting.com\/simple?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=blue_blog_post_cta_female\" target=\"_blank\">FEMALE<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                        <img width=\"326\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new.png\" class=\"cta-img wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new.png 326w, https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new-219x300.png 219w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h3>4. May lower blood pressure<\/h3>\n<p>Citrus fruits and its fruit juices are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/agricultural-and-biological-sciences\/citrus-juice\">a great<strong> source of potassium<\/strong><\/a> which has been shown to regulate both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. To put it simply, it can control<strong> high blood pressure by relaxing your blood vessel walls<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Blood pressure is the force that pushes blood through your veins. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/encyclopedia\/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=85&amp;ContentID=P00224\">High blood pressure<\/a>, on the other hand, manifests when the force of the blood flow is too strong, making it push up against your arteries and veins. This puts strain on your heart by making it pump blood at a faster rate.<\/p>\n<p>An adequate amount of potassium may relieve this tension.<\/p>\n<p>There is no official recommended daily intake of potassium. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK538102\/\">Adequate Intake (AI)<\/a> for <strong>women<\/strong> is around <strong>2,320mg<\/strong> while for men it\u2019s around <strong>3,016mg<\/strong> of potassium every day.<\/p>\n<p>One cup of orange juice contains around 500mg of potassium which makes up around 20% of AI. Orange juice alone won\u2019t cure you. However, it makes a great addition to a healthy diet.<\/p>\n<h3>5. May balance cholesterol levels<\/h3>\n<p>Research suggests that orange juice plays a role in keeping your <strong>cholesterol levels low<\/strong>. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3750609\/\">a study investigating the effects of orange juice<\/a> consumption found that individuals who consume orange juice daily have lower cholesterol than those who don\u2019t drink orange juice at all.<\/p>\n<p>The abundance of <strong>vitamin C<\/strong> in orange juice may be instrumental in <strong>regulating cholesterol<\/strong> for those who have already been <strong>diagnosed<\/strong> with hypercholesterolemia, a condition defined by <strong>high cholesterol levels<\/strong>. One study found that taking 500mgs of vitamin C for at least 4 weeks significantly <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19674720\">reduced cholesterol for individuals with hypercholesterolemia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flavonoids<\/strong>, antioxidants found in orange juice, may also help in lowering cholesterol. You may opt for the concentrated form of orange juice for <a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.nutres.2010.09.006\">greater amounts of flavonoids<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>6. May prevent anemia<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Iron deficiency<\/strong> anemia is defined by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/iron-deficiency-anaemia\/\">lack of iron<\/a> in your body which, in turn, <strong>reduces<\/strong> the production of <strong>red blood cells<\/strong>. This type of anemia can increase the risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health\/anemia\/iron-deficiency-anemia\">restless leg syndrome<\/a> and may even negatively affect your <strong>heart health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s generally treated with an iron-rich diet and supplement tablets.<\/p>\n<p>Drinking orange juice with your meals can increase iron absorption. Vitamin C, one of the main nutrients in orange juice, is necessary for your body to be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/dermnetnz.org\/topics\/scurvy\">absorb iron<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some doctors recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/007478.htm\">taking iron supplements with orange juice<\/a> or any type of drink dense in this essential nutrient.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it\u2019s important to note that <strong>vitamin C deficiency<\/strong>, also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/scurvy\/\">scurvy<\/a>, may <strong>cause anemia<\/strong>. A glass of this juice will provide you with more than a daily dose of vitamin C.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Orange_Juice_Is_Still_Good_for_You\"><\/span>How Much Orange Juice Is Still Good for You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that orange juice has the potential to improve your overall health, but is there such a thing as too much orange juice?<\/p>\n<p>To put it simply, yes. While a healthy amount of orange juice can contribute to a healthy lifestyle, overconsumption can do the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>So, how much orange juice should you drink?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s <strong>recommended<\/strong> to stay within the range of a<strong> glass (8-ounce) of orange juice per day<\/strong> at most.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to children, pediatricians <a href=\"https:\/\/publications.aap.org\/pediatrics\/article\/139\/6\/e20170967\/38754\/Fruit-Juice-in-Infants-Children-and-Adolescents\">recommend<\/a> a maximum orange juice intake of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>4 ounces<\/strong> for <strong>toddlers<\/strong> (ages 1 to 3);<\/li>\n<li><strong>6 ounces<\/strong> for <strong>preschoolers<\/strong> (ages 4 to 6);<\/li>\n<li><strong>8 ounces<\/strong> for <strong>older children<\/strong> and adolescents (ages between 7 to 18).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Potential_Downsides_of_Drinking_Too_Much_Orange_Juice\"><\/span>Potential Downsides of Drinking Too Much Orange Juice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, what will happen if you drink too much orange juice? If it\u2019s a one-time thing, then you probably won\u2019t notice any changes. However, drinking too much orange juice on a regular basis may negatively affect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blood sugar regulation<\/strong>. The majority of carbohydrates in orange juice come from sugar. It\u2019s one of the main reasons why daily consumption of orange juice can <strong>increase blood sugar levels<\/strong>. This is especially true for store-bought orange juice that has added sugars.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight<\/strong>. As you probably noticed in the orange juice nutrition section, this beverage contains lots of <strong>calories<\/strong> and <strong>sugar<\/strong>. Both of these factors may contribute to <strong>weight gain<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vitamin C levels<\/strong>. An orange juice glass contains <strong>more vitamin C<\/strong> than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/vitamin-c\/\">Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oral health<\/strong>. It\u2019s probably not surprising that high amounts of sugar aren\u2019t good for your teeth, as sugar increases the risk of dental caries. Additionally, citrus juices tend to be high in acidity, which has been shown to lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockinghamdental.net\/news\/why-is-fruit-juice-bad-for-teeth\">tooth erosion<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regular consumption of orange juice shouldn\u2019t pose any problems as long as you don\u2019t exceed the RDA.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Drink_Orange_Juice_When_Fasting_Intermittently\"><\/span>Can You Drink Orange Juice When Fasting Intermittently?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Orange juice contains high amounts of sugar, which will most definitely <a href=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/what-breaks-a-fast\/\">break your fast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to breaking your fast, excessive consumption of sugar may result in <strong>blood sugar spikes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Although you <a href=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/what-can-drink-during-intermittent-fasting\/\">can\u2019t drink orange juice while fasting<\/a>, there is nothing wrong with enjoying a glass<strong> during your eating window<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You can log your orange juice consumption on the <a href=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/\">DoFasting<\/a> app to make sure you don\u2019t go over the recommended calorie count for the day.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"cta-shortcode__wrap\">\n        <section class=\"cta-shortcode blue\" >\n\n                            <h3>Take a <br \/>\r\n1-minute quiz<\/h3>\n                                        <h5>and discover how much weight you can lose with DoFasting!<\/h5>\n                                        <div class=\"actions two-buttons\">\n                                                                    <a class=\"btn blue\" href=\"https:\/\/new.dofasting.com\/simple?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=blue_blog_post_cta_male\" target=\"_blank\">MALE<\/a>\n                                                                    <a class=\"btn pink\" href=\"https:\/\/new.dofasting.com\/simple?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=blue_blog_post_cta_female\" target=\"_blank\">FEMALE<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                        <img width=\"326\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new.png\" class=\"cta-img wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new.png 326w, https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new-219x300.png 219w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Is Orange Juice Good for You?
