Healthy Carb Food #4: Oranges
Whenever we get a cold, one of the first things we are likely to do is to stock up on fresh orange juice. This is because oranges are known for their particularly high vitamin c content, which helps to bolster our immune system. This helps our bodies fight against the pathogen, meaning we are likely to recover sooner than otherwise.
A single medium orange contains 15.4g of carbs with carbs making up 91% of the macronutrients which helps to energise us in between meals. They are also thought to be able to reduce the risk of heart disease and can also increase the amount of iron we absorb from our diets.
