Benefits of Orange Juice ...

Fresh orange juice is the richest source of vitamin C and fulfills an entire day’s worth of vitamin C in just one serving.

Provide Vitamin C. Vitamin C cannot be synthesized by the human body so we must ingest it in our food and drink.

Reduce Inflammation. Eating meals with a lot of fat or glucose can lead to the development of inflammatory reactions. Inflammatory reactions lead to the resistance of insulin, which is a common cause of type II diabetes and atherosclerosis. 

Promote Skin Condition. Drinking orange juice is said to bring a radiant glow to your skin and provide other skin benefits as well. 

Produce Collagen. Vitamin C is the key ingredient for healthy production of collagen, which is the structural component of bones, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels. When the body is deficient in vitamin C it can lead to scurvy, a disease characterized by bruising, bleeding, tooth loss and immense joint pain.
