Oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, yellow grapefruit, papaya, pineapple, and nectarines are rich in vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids and protect us against free-radical damage.
Citrus bioflavonoids increase intracellular levels of vitamin C, strengthen blood vessels, and maintain the collagen that forms tendons, cartilage, and ligaments.
They prevent allergies and inflammation and have also been used to prevent and treat bruising, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and spider veins.
