When you peel an orange, don't throw away the white part under the skin

Everyone knows that citrus fruits have lots of healthy nutrition's and vitamins like vitamin C. Researchers are discovering new ways which citrus fruits benefit your health. Te knew way to benefit from citrus fruitsbarent inside the fruit itself, however they are mostly found in the peel. This means that if you are not cooking with with the peel, the best method to “get the full antioxidant punch” is to also take a piece of the white parts inside the peel of the fruit.

 One of the best flavonoids id naringenin, which occurs can find in citrus fruits and tomato peel. Naringenin and other similar flavanoids can fix damaged DNA, these damages can lead to cancer which this can prevent. Phytonutrient can prevent obesity by simulating the liver and take out the overload of fat. “Naringenin has also restored normal levels of triglyceride and cholesterol levels in animal studies, as well as restoring healthy blood sugar levels.” So since now you know there is medicine in your food, next time think about this when throwing something away, eat the whole thing, and dont throw one piece of medicine. 

Opinion: 

I think this is really great, I never knew that. Before I used to take of every white piece from the inside of the peel of my orange, but next time I eat a citrus fruit I will think about this. I also choose to write about this because in class we did a lab about vitamin C and oranges and benefits.
