This fruit is extremely beneficial, especially for people who suffer from kidney conditions. I know which one it is.
The orange It is one of the most popular and consumed fruits in Argentina. It can be consumed in different formats and there is a notable characteristic of this food: its intake triggers a series of benefits for health and organs, including kidneys.
Why are oranges good for the kidneys?
One of the main characteristics of the orange is the contribution of vitamin Cas well as its content in flavonoids and beta carotenes. This fruit contains 90% water, which helps keep the organs hydrated, and replaces others such as banana, which can be counterproductive to their functioning.

The banana has a great contribution of potassium, a mineral that helps in nerve function and muscle contraction. However, this food is not recommended for a certain group of the population: those who suffer from kidney ailments, since they cannot eliminate the excess potassium that is stored in the organ. According to the Spanish Nutrition Foundation (FEN) For every 100 g of edible portion it has 200 mg of potassium and per portion (225 g) it has 329 mg.
What is the amount of oranges that should be consumed per day
To avoid the risks, people suffering from kidney problems can opt for other fruits, such as beneficial oranges. Moderate consumption is the key in all cases, but it should be minimal in people who suffer from this condition (maximum of one piece per day, either in fruit or juice). For the rest of the population, this limit does not exist.
Thus it is possible to consume two pieces of whole fruit or four in juice, taking advantage of all the benefits that this food has to offer. Regarding orange juice, the FEN remembers that it hardly containsfiber and has lower amounts of vitamins and minerals than the whole orange, making it more convenient to incorporate fresh whole fruit.
