Oranges often turn up in health blogs on a regular basis, and for good reason. In addition to being a great source of pectin, which helps to avoid cholesterol issues, oranges are also a source of vitamin C.

Oranges are also anti-inflammatory and contain hesperidin, a compound which has been proven to lower blood pressure.
