Are you still crazy about tangerines during the Chinese New Year? Remember these points to avoid getting angry!

During the Chinese New Year, it is inevitable that the fish and meat are greasy, and it is best to eat some sweet and sour fruits afterwards. At this time, compared with fruits that need to be cut and washed, sugar oranges have become people's only choice.

Although tangerines are convenient and delicious, eating them excessively can have a negative impact on your health.

What effects does eating too many tangerines have on the body?

1. Getting angry

Sugar oranges are easy to eat and have a high sugar content, so it is easy to accidentally consume too much. Excessive sugar not only easily causes calories to accumulate and turn into fat, but also triggers some acute inflammatory reactions, resulting in a series of symptoms of getting angry, such as red and swollen gums, dry and sore throat, mouth sores, etc.

2. Yellowing of the skin

Granulated sugar contains a lot of carotene, which is a nutrient that is beneficial to the body. It can protect the eyes and delay aging. However, if the human body takes in too much carotene in a short period of time, the body will not be able to metabolize it in time, which will cause the skin to turn yellow. But don't worry too much, just stop eating oranges temporarily and drink more to speed up metabolism, and you will basically return to normal after one or two weeks.

3. Gastrointestinal discomfort

Tangerines are rich in dietary fiber, and if eaten in moderation, they can moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. However, eating too much can cause excessive gastrointestinal motility, which can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

To avoid physical discomfort, what should you pay attention to when eating tangerines?

1. Eat the orange peel together

In life, we may have heard this saying: Whole food is the best medicine. In life, some people think that the white lines on oranges affect the taste, so they like to pick them clean before eating. However, this makes it easier to get angry, because the orange peel on the orange can help us reduce heat and phlegm.

2. Rinse your mouth after eating

It is recommended to drink some water or rinse your mouth after eating tangerines. Because the sugar content in tangerines is too high, the sugar stays in the mouth and easily breeds bacteria. If you do not drink water or rinse your mouth in time, it is easy to cause oral problems.

3. Eat hot oranges

If conditions permit, we can heat the oranges before eating them. This will allow the nutrients in the orange peel to penetrate into the orange flesh, helping to reduce the irritation of the orange to the stomach and intestines.

4. Pair with cool foods

Oranges are warm in nature. If you are worried about getting angry when eating them, you can eat them with some cool foods, such as pears, grapefruits, etc. Or it is also a good choice to eat some heat-reducing teas, such as chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, etc.

Although tangerines are rich in nutrients and can moisturize the intestines, promote bowel movements, and beautify the skin, you still need to be careful to eat them in moderation.
