Oranges
People know that oranges are round orange-colored citrus fruits that are either sweet or sour. They’re now available year-round and have different varieties, such as Mandarin, Caracara, Navel, Valencia, Seville, Jaffa, and blood oranges. Each orange yields more than the recommended 100 percent daily vitamin C intake. It also contains three grams of fiber, 14 micrograms of Vitamin A, 237 milligrams of potassium, and six percent of the daily recommended amount of calcium. All told, oranges are healthy food.
Dentists and medical experts believe eating oranges regularly can help prevent bad breath. Oranges contain compounds that act as an anti-inflammatory that protects the gastrointestinal region from irritations. Such irritations can cause bacteria to multiply and create an imbalance that may result in odoriferous smells. In addition, oranges are abundant in Vitamin C, essential in combating gum infections and warding off bacteria that can cause mouth infections and foul smells. Oranges also help activate the salivary glands to produce more saliva and wash away the sweetness or sourness inside the mouth. As the saliva removes the taste, it removes bacteria and mucus and helps eliminate them.
