Pros of Orange Juice

• Orange juice can help undo the damage of an unhealthy meal on your body by counteracting the inflammatory effects. This is attributed to the fact that oranges have more than 60 flavonoid antioxidants. Eating a regular orange also provides this health benefit, but it's more likely people will drink a glass of orange juice after a meal, rather than eat an orange.
• A glass of orange juice each day may prevent recurrent kidney stones better than other citrus juices. Citrus juice is said to help prevent the formation of kidney stones because it contains citrate, which helps decrease the acidity of urine. Orange juice in particular, increases the levels of citrate in the urine and decreases urine acidity, unlike other citrus juices
• A whole orange offers more fiber than fruit juice, and contains fewer calories. Fiber is great because it prevents certain types of cancers, keeps you regular, and helps fill you up so you're less likely to eat as many calories.
