The doctor told how many tangerines you can eat per day
Excessive consumption of tangerines can lead to weight gain and allergies.
Russian physician and therapist Yana Shmeleva explained how many tangerines you can eat per day without harming your health.
The expert's recommendations are provided by Radio 1 .
How many tangerines can you eat per day?
As Shmeleva explained, tangerines are rich in vitamins C, B1, B2, beta-carotene, antioxidants and fiber.
However, tangerines also contain a lot of glucose, which stimulates the production of insulin.
If a person eats too much fruit at one time, insulin disrupts the breakdown of fat, and the person gains weight, the doctor explained.
In addition, tangerines, like all citrus fruits, can cause allergies.
An adult can eat 5-6 tangerines per day, but not all at once.
Children under one year of age and people with gastrointestinal diseases should not eat tangerines.
The doctor also explained how to properly combine tangerines with other products.
According to her, tangerines should not be combined with proteins and fats, and should not be eaten for dessert or before dinner.
