It’s horrible to have a cold! Sneezing, headaches, coughing…in the winter time it seems like we get one cold right after another one. On the other hand, maybe it is worse to get a cold in the summertime when it keeps you away from the pool and friends.

There is one easy way to ward off colds and their symptoms: eating oranges. Oranges have lots of beneficial properties and one of them is that they boost the immune system and combat viruses that would otherwise have you ill.

Oranges are also important to eat if you want to have a balanced diet. Humans need vitamin C to survive and oranges have lots of this important vitamin. One orange contains all the vitamin C we need for one day.

This fruit also has lots of antioxidants which help the body’s cells to stay young and healthy. If all that wasn’t enough, oranges are also a good source of water, energy and fiber.

Right now, oranges are in season in countries which are in the winter season. This is a good example of how nature knows best: in the winter time we get more colds! With oranges as a winter food, we are offered nature’s remedy to keep us healthy in the colder months.
