What happens if you eat more than 5 tangerines a day?
The New Year is coming soon, the main seasonal fruit will begin to appear on store shelves, without which we cannot imagine the New Year holidays. Tangerine is rich in minerals, vitamins and fiber. Tangerines strengthen the immune system, support intestinal health and even prevent cancer. But nutritionists do not recommend eating more than five citrus fruits per day. But why?
Fruits contain large amounts of fructose. If you eat too many tangerines, you can get a shocking dose of sugary substances, which will negatively affect the liver.
People prone to allergic reactions, as well as those who suffer from gastritis, should not get carried away with the fruit. It is also not recommended to eat citrus in the morning on an empty stomach, otherwise the acids contained in the juice will cause gastrointestinal irritation. Overeating fiber is also not a good idea: excess fiber will lead to bloating and flatulence.
The recommended intake of tangerines per day is no more than 4-5 fruits.

Early tangerines appear on supermarket shelves in September. The taste of seasonal fruits is largely determined by the variety. Murcott - winter tangerine - is one of the sweetest, but with seeds, but unshiu - with a slight sourness, but not at all “bony”.
However, regardless of the type, there are common characteristics characteristic of quality citrus fruits.
Ripe tangerines do not last long. Maximum - a week. To extend the shelf life, you can rub the skin with vegetable oil and put it in the refrigerator with high humidity (90-95%).
Store-bought tangerines should not be in bags. It is better to remove the packaging or leave the fruit in the net. If there are leaves on the branches, do not tear them off - this will keep the fruit fresh longer.
Before consumption, citrus fruits must be washed to remove any chemicals that may have been applied to the products before transportation.
