Are you eating your orange correctly?
How do you eat your orange? Peel them, leaving the white pith intact or peel it really clean; skin and pith all out or you just quarter them and take it from there? Or juice it?
According to research, the white pith is an important source of fiber and flavonoids and the juicy orange segments contain vitamin C. So what happens when we discard the white pith and consume only the orange segments? Flavonoids in the orange are lost. Flavonoids and vitamin C work hand in hand to support our health through its interaction.
The best way to consume fruit is raw, with its skin or in some fruits, skin peeled, on an empty stomach about half an hour before meals. If your concern is on the pesticide level, you can either go organic or soak your fruits in enzyme water for about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can give them a simple scrub with table salt and a good rinse.
