21. Orange
Similar to other citrus fruits such as grapefruits, lemons, and tangerines, oranges are a rich source of vitamin C. They also contain polyphenols and terpenes, the primary compounds found in citrus fruits. These compounds possess the ability to hinder tumor growth and enhance the anti-cancer properties of other fruits and vegetables, increasing their presence in the bloodstream.
Despite their natural sugar content, oranges serve as a delightful dessert or healthy snack when your blood sugar levels are low, as their fructose is easily absorbed by the body. If you sense the onset of a cold, opting for an orange instead of expensive, heavily marketed vitamin C concoctions is a wise choice.
