Eat this fruit daily, so you can prevent blindness in the old age
News24xx.com - Vision worsens as we age. The scientific term is called macular degeneration, a medical condition that makes the eye unable to see clearly. Usually, this disease is commonly experienced in people over the age of 60 years.
As quoted from Shape, although the condition of macular degeneration is suspected to be irreparable, a recent study from American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that consuming oranges regularly can reduce these risks.
For this study, researchers interviewed more than 2,000 people about their food intake. One of them, flavonoid-rich foods, such as oranges. Then, after monitoring the participants for up to 15 years, it was revealed that people who ate at least one serving of oranges every day could reduce the risk of macular degeneration by 60 percent.
Yes, this refreshing fruit apparently not only delicious, but also provides significant health benefits. Oranges are rich in flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants that provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Although other foods such as tea, apples and grapes also contain flavonoids, the researchers found no link between these foods, including the reduced risk of macular degeneration.
Other health reasons for consuming oranges, besides being beneficial for protecting vision, are because in one serving medium-sized oranges provide about 4 grams of dietary fiber. The antioxidants contained in it can also keep the skin healthy. Plus, vitamin C in oranges helps increase body immunity.
