Lately when I go to work, I happen to always get an orange juice from Quick Trip on the way there. One day, I thought, are there any benefits to drinking orange juice? Well, I googled it, and the answer was yes! Here are just some of the many benefits:
- Orange Juice is a great source of Vitamin C, the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.
- OJ can always help hair growth, oranges are rich in antioxidants, and other nutrients, they play a major role in facilitating hair growth. The antioxidants fight off free radicals, preventing hair damage and boosting hair growth. Oranges also contain vitamin B12 and vitamin E that further helps in repairing damaged hair follicles.
