" Put oranges, grapefruit and lemons on your grocery shopping list. A recent study of more than 69,000 women found that those who ate several servings a day of citrus had a 10% lower risk of stroke than women who ate less of the juicy fruits. And that&amp;#039;s not the only benefit. More did-you-know citrus facts: Oranges tend to get all the glory when it comes to vitamin C (one medium orange has 70 mg, which satisfies nearly 100% of your daily needs), but a grapefruit actually has 88 mg, says Kerry Neville, a registered dietitian in Seattle. (The juice of one medium lemon meets 25% of your daily vitamin C requirements, while one lime comes in at 18%.) Grapefruits are also an excellent source of vitamin A, an essential vitamin that helps promote healthy vision. Just half a grapefruit contains 31% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin A. All citrus fruits contain fiber, which helps you feel full longer. That&amp;#039;s also why it&amp;#039;s better to eat the fruit itself (an orange, for example) rather than just drink fruit juice.
