Oranges for weight loss
Research shows that fibers found in the fuzzy white layer of an orange curb appetite and suppress hunger levels for up to four hours after eating.
28/12/05 The latest trend in the battle of the bulge is packaging popular snacks in portion-controlled packets of 100 calories. Mother Nature figured out how to do this long ago. Sunkist(R) oranges come in their own portion-controlled package of just 80 calories, and they're high in fiber and water, which contributes to the "fullness factor" -- a key strategy for weight loss because it helps prevent overeating.
Research shows that fibers found in the fuzzy white layer of an orange curb appetite and suppress hunger levels for up to four hours after eating. In addition, oranges offer a nutritional punch in a refreshingly juicy package. In fact, compared to other "low-calorie" snacks like pretzels or popcorn, oranges offer great taste, fewer calories and more nutrients.
Citrus fruits are included in the dietary programs of some of the world's leading nutrition organizations including USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the Produce for Better Health (PBH) Foundation's 5 A Day Program, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute.
As one of the world's oldest and largest citrus marketing cooperatives, Sunkist Growers is owned by more than 6,000 citrus growers in California and Arizona, most of whom are small family farmers harvesting oranges, lemons and grapefruit.
