One of the sunniest and happiest fruits on earth is considered to be an orange. Its bright color and amazing aroma will not leave anyone indifferent. A special need for oranges in the body appears at the end of winter. After the dark and dark days of November and December, as well as the frosty months of January and February, a person needs an increased amount of vitamins that this southern fruit can provide.
But besides providing the body with vitamins, an orange will help prepare the figure for the summer. During the cold months, when there is no desire to once again go out, a person inevitably gains extra pounds. An orange diet is the easiest and most delicious way to deal with excess body fat acquired during the winter.
The properties of orange and its composition
In the usual understanding of man, an orange is considered a fruit, but this is not true. Oddly enough, but the fruits of the orange tree are actually a berry. China is generally considered the birthplace of this product, but there is evidence that oranges were also known in the Mediterranean countries and South America. Now deliveries to Russia of these juicy fruits are carried out by Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Spain, China and other southern countries.
Orange consists of the following layers:
- The outer peel (zest) is bright orange in color, which contains essential oil.
- White layers between the skin and pulp, it contains pectin, which improves digestion and strengthens the immune system.
- Juicy pulp, consisting of slices covered with a thin shell, and also in the pulp are seeds or seeds of orange.
The composition of the berry includes B vitamins, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), beta-carotene and folic acid, as well as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and sodium.
The benefits of nutrition for weight loss on oranges and contraindications
In addition to the ability to bring the body to a normal state, oranges can heal the body, which is a great advantage of the orange diet over others. As you know, any nutritional restrictions to get rid of extra pounds carry a lack of vitamins, as well as the loss of important trace elements. Therefore, any other diet requires additional intake of these substances. As for the orange diet, reviews say that the product itself is already saturated with all the minerals and vitamins necessary for health. For example, orange juice is able to exert anti-inflammatory effects, strengthen immunity and relieve nervous tension.
The effect of oranges on the body:
- Lowering the level of bad cholesterol in the body.
- Strengthening the general state of human health after stress, including after the cold winter months.
- Improvements in the condition of the skin, nails and hair.
- General rejuvenation of the body and slowdown of aging.
- Prevention of cardiovascular disease.
- Normalization of weight.
Like any product, an orange is not only beneficial, but can also be harmful in various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, especially with gastritis and ulcers, food allergies to citrus products, and diabetes. Therefore, before you go on an orange diet, you need to consult a doctor.
Dietary Tips
Since sunny orange fruit has a very low calorie content (36 kilocalories per 100 grams), it is often used in various diets and fasting days. Due to the high juice content, the orange saturates the body well and after eating it, the feeling of satiety lasts two to three hours.
General recommendations for a diet:
- Drink water. To ensure the proper functioning of the body, an adult healthy person needs to drink at least two liters of water per day. And there is also a formula for calculating the correct drinking regimen: forty milliliters of pure water for every kilogram of body weight.
- Minimize salt intake. It is impossible to completely exclude table salt from the diet, as it carries a very important role in the metabolism of the body. Lack of salt can cause dizziness and loss of consciousness. According to medical standards, a healthy person needs up to five grams, and this is one teaspoon of salt per day. It should be remembered that some products may already contain salt. To limit its amount, you can simply not add salt to food on purpose.
- The use of various sweets is better to transfer to the morning. It is not recommended to completely refuse sugar, especially for sweet tooth. Long abstinence from your favorite foods will invariably lead to a breakdown of the diet. Therefore, it is better to eat one candy in the morning than to break and destroy immediately a whole cake in the evening.
- Alcoholic beverages should also be minimized, and it is better to refuse them altogether for the duration of the diet. Alcohol retains fluid in the body and disrupts the proper course of the diet, making it difficult to control its results. In extreme cases, you can afford to drink one glass of dry wine, preferably red, on a weekend or holiday.
- Very good for long walks. But you need to choose for this green areas (park, forest park, forest), away from highways and various kinds of industries.
- If you follow a diet, physical activity should be, but it is important to have a sense of proportion and not to overwork. It is best to do morning exercises every day and visit the pool two to three times a week. In modern fitness complexes, saunas and baths are often made, visiting of which will also positively affect the results of proper nutrition.
- For effective weight loss, it is important to tune in to a diet. Stop being nervous about being overweight and rebuke yourself for every piece you eat. It is useful to find like-minded people, for example, friends, relatives or register on the site for losing weight people.
