Amazing Health Benefits of Citrus Fruits (Infographic)

You probably know that to function at your healthiest best, you need a wide-ranging diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy and a few healthy fats, carbohydrates and proteins. And if you think of those various buckets, you probably have certain go-to’s that you consider.

For protein, for example, you think of meat and beans. For carbs, you probably consider pasta or bread. But there’s another source of carbs—as well as lots of other good-for-you things—that you probably don’t know about: citrus fruits.

That’s right: Citrus—oranges and lemons, limes and kumquats to name just a few—are good sources of carbohydrates. And those carbs give you the energy to go to your workout in the morning and to be “on” during the day for your work and your family.

Why else are citrus fruits good for you, and what types should you think about adding to your diet? This graphic explains it.
