Florida Oranges and Aging

oranges8.jpgSooner or later it happens to us all.  That is aging but Florida oranges can help.  Now aging is not all bad;  there is all the life experience and wisdom you have gained over the years, but it defiantly has some down sides as well.  As we age we are subject to a growing number of health problems that can reduce the quality of life if not acted on pro-actively.  Who would have thought those same Florida oranges that were so good for us in our youth can be so beneficial now.

Most people know that one of the best ways to help combat aging is with antioxidants and that Florida oranges are just filled with them.  Few people, however, knows what that means.  Over time the cells in our body oxidize.  This is basically the same as rust to metal.  When this happens things known as free radicals are produced.  These free radicals float through the blood looking for new cells to bond with.  When they do they cause a lot of unhealthy effects to those cells that lead to many of the health problems associated with age including cancer, diabetes and even muscle and tissue degeneration which can be one of the most visible signs of aging.  The antioxidants found in vitamin C can help slow this process down and Florida oranges are known for their high vitamin C content. 

Calcium is another benefit found with Florida oranges. Now the most obvious reason that the body needs calcium is for bones and teeth.  If the body is not getting enough calcium in the diet the bones do try to rob it from the blood.  It is never enough and leads to other issues that can all be helped with Florida oranges.  They will not prevent osteoporosis but it will certainly slow it down. The lack of calcium in the blood also leads to other health problems.  It effects nerve impulses and therefore causes restlessness, irritability, and even insomnia.  That is just another reason to keep those Florida oranges in your diet.  The calcium also lowers blood pressure, needed for many older people, and also aides in the clotting of blood.

Florida oranges have many other benefits as well.  They can reduce kidney stones and slow down the development of arthritis.  Also, the help keep a proper balance of cholesterols.  A poor ratio is a big cause of strokes and heart attacks.  Add a few Florida oranges to you diet to your health to in your older years
