New University of Florida-led research showed that Orange peels may hold a key to better cardiovascular health.
The findings were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups
Recent research has found that certain bacteria in our gut can contribute to heart disease. These bacteria produce a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) when they digest certain foods. The amount of TMAO in our bodies can be a sign of potential heart problems in the future.
Orange peel extract is good for your health, especially for your heart, according to previous research. It contains lots of antioxidants, which help protect the body from damage. These antioxidants can reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol levels, and improve blood circulation. This helps keep the heart healthy and reduces the risk of heart disease. Additionally, orange peel extract has fiber, which is good for digestion and can help control blood sugar levels.
