Orange Juice Is Triple Treat
POSTED: 3:08 p.m. EDT May 3, 2002
A glass of orange juice is a triple treat for your heart.
Nutritionists say it is not only an excellent source of calcium, it is also an excellent source of three heart-healthy nutrients: Vitamin C, folate and potassium.
All three nutrients can help reduce the risk of heart disease, according to the research detailed in the Journal of Nutrition.
Besides the possible cardiovascular benefits, studies have shown
that a daily glass of orange juice can help increase your levels of
HDL, or good cholesterol.
