What happens if you eat too many tangerines
Surely many of us love to eat tangerines not only during the New Year holidays.
But do you know what can happen if you get carried away with eating these citrus fruits, that is, if you consume them in very large quantities at once?
We tell you. If you do this, then even for people who have no contraindications for tangerines, certain risks arise.
Nutritionists say: the limit for consuming this gift of nature is 300 grams per day, that is, 3-4 fruits per day.
But why? And here we will remember about the risks. First of all, we will remember that tangerines are highly allergenic products.
This means that consuming them in large quantities can cause a pseudo-allergic reaction in the body, in particular, a rash may appear.
Second, tangerines contain a lot of fructose, which is the same carbohydrate as glucose and stimulates the production of insulin.
If you eat a large amount of citrus fruits at once, insulin can disrupt the breakdown of fat, which will lead to rapid weight gain.
Third. Avoid eating tangerines on an empty stomach, as the acids they contain can damage the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract.
For reference
Mandarin is a fruit, the fruit of a mandarin (citrus) tree or shrub.
