It's December, which means the winter holidays are just around the corner.
For many people, New Year is associated with the pleasant smell of tangerines.
During the holidays, some people start eating huge amounts of citrus fruits.
However, endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova advises tangerine lovers to limit themselves.
The fact is that if consumed in unlimited quantities, the fruit can pose a danger to the human body.
Doctor Pavlova has indicated the maximum permissible number of tangerines eaten daily - 5.
It is acceptable to eat up to five small tangerines a day, MIA " Russia Today " quotes the specialist as saying.
However, you should not eat such a quantity of fruits at once. It is better to eat one tangerine at different times.
Having told about the dangers of a huge amount of tangerines, the doctor noted: when consumed in moderation, these citrus fruits are useful. After all, the fruits are a source of vitamins.
