August 30, 2023 | by Yashaswi Pathakamuri | Posted in FAQ's
Oranges themselves are not typically a major cause of acidity, but they are acidic in nature due to their citric acid content. When consumed in moderation, oranges and other citrus fruits are generally well-tolerated by most people and do not usually lead to increased acidity or acid reflux.
However, for individuals who are prone to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), consuming highly acidic foods like oranges might trigger symptoms such as heartburn or discomfort. In such cases, it’s advisable to monitor your own body’s response and make adjustments to your diet as needed. If you have concerns about how oranges or other foods might affect your acidity levels, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
