Do you eat oranges, grapefruit, mangoes, cantaloupe, peaches, carrots, lemons, tangerines, limes, kumquats, and pineapple? These will boost your immune system and help to prevent eye disease.
Oranges originated in Asia thousands of years ago and are considered one of the most popular fruits in the world. Christopher Columbus brought orange seeds to the Caribbean Islands in the late 15th century. Luckily, the Spanish explorers brought them to Florida in the 16th century. It wasn't until about 200 years later that the Spanish missionaries brought oranges to California. Today, Florida and California are the primary producers of oranges in the United States.
Oranges contain vitamin C, fiber, folate, potassium, polyphenols, pectin, and limonene. They are often recognized as America's first health food.
