Health Benefits of Orange Juice

Squeezing oranges yields orange juice, which is a liquid extract of the fruit of the orange tree. Blood oranges, navel oranges, valencia oranges, clementines, and tangerines are just a few of the kinds available. Orange juice is popular all around the world. It's abundant in essential minerals including vitamin C and potassium. Furthermore, commercial versions are frequently supplemented with calcium and vitamin D.
1. Rich in Several Important Nutrients.
Orange juice is high in many nutrients, including vitamin C, folate, and potassium.

Kidney stones are tiny mineral deposits that build up in your kidneys and cause severe discomfort, nausea, and blood in your urine.
