Resumo
Previous studies have associated orange juice consumption with prevention of cardiovascular disease, and this effect is mainly attributed to its nutrients and bioactive compounds, such as vitamin C and citrus flavonoids. The main citrus flavonoids found in orange juice are hesperidin and naringenin, which can affect several metabolic routes that improve blood serum antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory performance, while decreasing insulin resistance protecting against diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In addition, orange juice is linked with better nutrition and satiation contributing to body weight maintenance (Ribeiro et al. 2017).
