Bitter orange is the fruit of a small tree plant belonging to the citrus genus of the Rutaceae family. It tastes sour and sweet, is rich in vitamins, and has the effect of supplementing nutrition and promoting appetite.
Function and effect
1. Bitter orange is a good source of antioxidants
Antioxidants are important compounds that protect your cells from molecules called free radicals. High levels of free radicals can damage your cells, and this damage is linked to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and many types of cancer.
Bitter oranges are rich in active compounds that act as antioxidants in the body, including flavonoids, limonoids, kaempferol, quercetin, and ascorbic acid.
2. Bitter orange can enhance immunity
Bitter oranges are rich in vitamin C, a nutrient that may help strengthen the immune system.
In test-tube studies, vitamin C helps increase the production of white blood cells, which help protect your body from infection and disease. In human studies, taking vitamin C helps shorten the duration and severity of colds.
Additionally, vitamin C can help wounds heal faster by reducing inflammation and stimulating collagen production. Collagen is an essential protein that aids in wound repair. In addition to vitamin C, bitter orange is a great source of antioxidants that help strengthen the immune system by protecting cells from free radical damage.
3. Bitter orange promotes healthy skin
Bitter orange has several properties that promote skin health.
First, they are rich in vitamin C. This vitamin is necessary for making collagen, a protein that keeps skin firm and strong. A medium-sized lime (67 grams) provides more than 20% of the DV for this nutrient. For example, an older study of more than 4,000 women found that those who consumed more vitamin C had more vitamin C as they aged. Lower risk of wrinkles and dry skin.
Second, bitter oranges are rich in antioxidants, which may help fight age-related skin changes.
Oxidative stress is a condition caused by an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. It may cause premature signs of aging.
4. Bitter orange may reduce heart disease risk
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.
Research shows that bitter orange can reduce several heart disease risk factors. An older study showed that for beginners,
Bitter oranges are rich in vitamin C, which may help reduce high blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease.
Additionally, vitamin C may prevent atherosclerosis-a disease in which atherosclerotic plaque builds up in arteries, narrowing them. One animal study found that feeding rabbits lime peel and juice helped slow down atherosclerosis. Progress of hardening.
5. Bitter orange can prevent kidney stones
Kidney stones are small mineral crystals that are often painful to pass. They can form in your kidneys when your urine is very concentrated or your urine contains high levels of stone-forming minerals (such as calcium).
Citrus fruits like bitter oranges are rich in citric acid, which may prevent kidney stones by increasing citrate levels and binding stone-forming minerals in the urine.
One study found that people who ate more citrus fruits had a significantly lower risk of developing kidney stones.
6. Bitter orange increases iron absorption
Iron is an essential nutrient needed to make red blood cells and transport oxygen around the body.
Low blood iron levels can lead to iron deficiency anemia. Signs of iron deficiency anemia include fatigue, difficulty breathing during exercise, pale face, and dry skin and hair.
Vegans or vegetarians are at greater risk for iron deficiency anemia because plant-based products contain a type of iron that is not absorbed as well as the iron found in meat and other animal products.
Foods rich in vitamin C, such as bitter oranges, can help prevent iron deficiency anemia by improving the absorption of iron from plant foods.
7. Bitter orange may lower your risk of certain cancers
Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal growth of cells.
Citrus fruits contain compounds linked to a reduced risk of certain cancers.
In particular, flavonoids, which act as antioxidants, may help block the expression of genes that promote cancer progression.
Additionally, test-tube studies show that citrus fruits may inhibit the growth or spread of cancer cells in the colon, throat, pancreas, breast, bone marrow, lymphoma and other cancer cells.
