I eat around two a day and one immediately after training. The orange is in danger of dropping off the radar because according to a survey by market research firm TNS, we don’t have time to peel them! We’re going for the no-peel apple or my favourite, the easy-peel banana. We’re missing out on a whole load of health benefits offered by their citrus cousin, so grab an orange peeler and reap these juicy rewards.

Eating at least one orange a day will…

…cut your chance of oral and bowel cancer by 50% (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research).

…reduce your risk of arthritis by 52% (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition).

…reduce your risk of a stroke by 19% (World Health Organisation).

…reduce your “bad” cholesterol levels by 40% (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry).

…lower your chance of stomach ulcers by 25% (Journal of the American College of Nutrition).

…reduce your risk of lung cancer by 37% (Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention).

Get peeling folks!
