Oranges are healthy. No doubt about it. But did you know there's a certain way to eat an orange that capitalizes on its health benefits? Talk show host Jenny Jones says it's true. And here, in this video, she demonstrates just how to eat the fruit in the healthiest way possible.

We've got an entire post devoted to the power of the orange -- check it out here -- but here are some highlights to consider as you sink your teeth into this super food.

  • Oranges offer the most readily available supply of vitamin C -- 93 percent of what you need, in fact.
  • An orange contains only 60 calories.
  • Nearly 170 phytochemicals and 60 flavonoids are packed into an orange -- these help fight off cancer and reduce inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and asthma.
  • A daily orange will help combat diabetes and obesity and can lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
  • An orange's peel contains limonene, which may ward off skin cancer.
