    health benefits

    heart health

    Research has found that orange peels may help prevent atherosclerosis. Intestinal bacteria decompose choline and carnitine to produce trimethylamine (TMA), which can be converted into trimethylamine N-oxide through enzymes. Orange peel contains elements that inhibit TMA enzymes, which may reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Animal studies and enzyme testing are ongoing to further investigate the effectiveness of orange peel extract in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

    Control bowel movements

    Orange peel is rich in fiber, which can regulate intestinal motility, aid digestion and prevent constipation. It effectively treats heartburn, indigestion, gas and irritable bowel syndrome, while promoting the growth of beneficial stomach bacteria through its pectin content.

    Promote weight loss

    Due to their low calorie content and high dietary fiber content, oranges are a great addition to weight loss. Orange peels provide vitamin C, which helps burn fat. Substituting orange peel tea for coffee or soda can help achieve your weight loss goals.

    Reduce cancer risk

    Studies have shown that flavonoids in orange peels can inhibit the cancer-related RLIP76 protein, while limonene in orange peels can reduce the risk of disease. Citrus peels have also been found to have significant anti-cancer properties.

    Improve skin tone

    Orange peels are rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals and prevent wrinkles and sagging skin. They work effectively as a toner to remove dark spots and blemishes. Their high vitamin C content keeps skin soft, vibrant and protects against harmful UV rays, acting as a natural sunscreen.

    Helps whiten teeth

    Orange peel can remove yellow stain from teeth. They contain a substance called d-limonene, which can reduce tooth staining.

    Regulate blood sugar levels

    The pectin in orange peels helps control blood sugar levels and is beneficial for diabetics. Orange peel extract may also prevent diabetic nephropathy. Removing the protein RLIP76 from the body prevents the development of diabetes. Oranges have a low glycemic load, and the increase in blood sugar levels is minimal when eating the peel.

    Eliminate bad breath

    Chewing raw orange peel can help eliminate bad breath, but excess acid can damage enamel. After using this technique, wait before brushing.
