Healthy Lifestyle The health benefits of citrus are numerous and research is continuously producing results that are favourable towards a citrus-rich diet. With high levels of Vitamin C and significant amounts of dietary fibre, citrus is abounding in nourishing, beneficial nutrients that can assist us in maintaining our body's health. More recent developments have shown that phytochemicals, of which citrus contains a plentiful amount, not only help in maintaining overall body balance but may also assist in the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease and other degenerative illnesses. Flavonoids, a particular sub-group of phytochemicals, have also been found to have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, by increasing our citrus consumption and taking advantage of this vitamin and nutrient rich source, we can play an active role in maintaining our body’s health and wellbeing. For more information about the extensive benefits of citrus you can visit the Australian Citrus Growers website,where you will find reports and nutritional tables from reputable industry sources, including a study conducted by the CSIRO (the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation).
