• It also contributes to our liver's health. This is good for weight loss because a healthy liver works faster and therefore reduces the swelling of the stomach and indigestion.

• It also activates the metabolism, accelerating it. Furthermore, it is a fruit with a large amount of fibre that gets the metabolism to work faster, making the calorie consumption greater.

It is simple to take advantage of the properties of oranges to lose weight as it requires nothing specific, it is simply recommended you drink freshly pressed orange juice throughout the day.
