The New Year is approaching. And this means that along with its main attribute – the fluffy forest beauty spruce – tangerines will appear on the tables in abundance.

They are also a traditional attribute of the holiday.

But unlike the tree, citrus fruits can be eaten, enjoying their wonderful sweetness.

True, sometimes the question arises: how many tangerines can you eat in one sitting? Without consequences for the body?

By the way, one of the unpleasant consequences is gaining extra kilos. Because these citrus fruits contain a lot of glucose.

The latter stimulates the production of insulin, which disrupts the breakdown of fat, which, in fact, results in extra pounds in a person.

But if you consume tangerines in moderation, they will bring nothing but benefits.

Experts say: you can eat five or six medium-sized tangerines in one day. This is the norm.

But it is worth remembering that citrus fruits are contraindicated for people with gastritis, colitis, and peptic ulcers.

Also, tangerines are not recommended for those who have problems with the pancreas and gall bladder.

Doctors also draw attention to the fact that citrus fruits can cause allergies.

In this regard, it is better to give children under 3 years of age a little tangerines, and not give them at all to babies under one year of age.
