Tangerines are an integral part of the New Year's mood. Their bright aroma, juiciness and sweetness create a feeling of celebration. But even such a seemingly harmless fruit can cause discomfort if eaten in excess.
A safe serving is considered to be 3-4 tangerines per day for an adult. This is enough to get vitamin C, improve your mood and enjoy the taste, but not overload the body with acid and sugars.
Tangerines contain organic acids and natural sugars. In small quantities they invigorate and tone. But in excess, they can irritate the gastric mucosa, cause heartburn or bloating, especially if eaten on an empty stomach or mixed with fatty foods and alcohol.
To avoid unpleasant sensations, it is better to eat tangerines between meals, and not immediately after salads or meat. It is good to combine them with neutral foods, such as cottage cheese, nuts or baked goods made from whole grain flour. This softens the effects of acid and reduces the burden on digestion.
It is also worth remembering: the peel and white veins of tangerines contain a lot of fiber and nutrients, but in large quantities they can cause flatulence. If you eat a lot, remove the white films.
By following a simple measure, you will maintain both a festive mood and lightness in your body even after three days at the table.
