TWO glasses of orange juice every day can lower blood pressure and cut the risk of heart disease.
Scientists found middle-aged men who drank 500ml of juice daily for a month saw a significant drop in their blood pressure, which meant their risk of heart disease dropped by 20 per cent.
The French study showed orange juice contains a naturally occurring plant chemical called hesperidin.
IT belongs to a class of disease-fighting compounds called flavonoids that are found in a variety of foods, which come from plants such as fruit, cocoa and tea.
