Orange Juice can fight inflammation, oxidative stress in adults: Study
Oranges are too great for health and the freshly squeezed orange juice is rich in Vitamin C and potassium. Also, a study suggests that 100 per cent orange juice has the potential to help fight inflammation and oxidative stress in adults.
Study added that drinking 100 per cent orange juice significantly reduces interleukin 6, a well-established marker of inflammation, in both healthy and high-risk adults.
Another added advantage is that with one glass orange juice a day, two additional inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were also reduced. However, the results did not quite reach statistical significance.
“We know that 100 per cent orange juice contains a number of nutrients, like vitamin C, as well as beneficial bioactive compounds that have the potential to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress,” said Gail Rampersaud, Florida Department of Citrus registered dietitian.
