Oranges are very high in Potassium which assists calcium in its job with bones and muscle growth and function. Since the heart is a muscle, you can understand that it's heart healthy. Eating oranges also provides fiber as well as many more vital nutrients for body functions. Without some form of Vit C such as found in fruits, or fortified foods, Scurvy would make a come back. That is a deadly disease that plagued the country over a hundred years ago.

They provide vitamin C to the body which is needed for various parts of the body. It is also good for the immune system and warding off a cold.
