Do you know that the main citrus fruits of every winter, juicy and sunny tangerines, should not be eaten by people suffering from high acidity, gastrointestinal diseases and gastritis?

According to experts, no more than four tangerines can be consumed per day without damage to health.

Perhaps that is why New Year and Christmas are one of the most fun days of the year ...

Scientists do not recommend consuming mandarin for children and people who have hepatitis and nephritis at different stages.

According to experts in dietetics and proper nutrition, the tradition of eating tangerines for the New Year holidays is generally useful if there are no contraindications, individual intolerance and allergic reactions to citrus fruits.

It is also important to note that in tangerines both juicy pulp and zest are useful. Mandarin crusts contain a lot of antioxidants. And the white fibers that divide citrus into slices contain flavanoid nobiletin - one that has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect.

Mandarins have a high content of citric acid, which causes a harmful blow to the digestive system.
