Small oranges make people more susceptible to internal heat, because the nutritional value of small oranges is higher than that of large oranges.

Oranges are a fruit that people take for granted in their lives. They are not only an excellent delicacy, but also have many benefits to human health. Oranges are rich in vitamin C and niacin, which can reduce blood lipids and cholesterol in the human body. Therefore, it is beneficial for people with coronary heart disease and high blood lipids to eat more oranges.

The Japan Fruit Research Institute conducted a survey of 6,045 people and found that people who like to eat oranges have lower rates of coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and gout. They also found that hesperiolein contained in the peel of oranges and other citrus has the effect of inhibiting cancer of the liver, esophagus, large intestine and skin.

Professor Tamura Inao, President of the Japanese Traditional Chinese Medicine Diet Therapy Research Association, believes that in terms of the nutritional value of oranges, vitamin C and citric acid are the richest. The former has a beautifying effect, while the latter has a fatigue-relieving effect. If you eat the thin inner skin of an orange together, in addition to vitamin C, you can also take in dietary fiber (pectin), which can promote laxation and lower cholesterol. It is worth noting that hesperidin can strengthen the hardness of capillaries, lower blood pressure, and dilate the coronary arteries of the heart. Therefore, it can be said that oranges are foods that prevent coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis.

There are also particular ways to eat oranges, and roasting them is the best way. The specific method is to wash the oranges (1 to 2) and soak them in boiling water at 40°C to 50°C for 1 minute, then wipe them dry with a cloth and place them on an iron mesh, and grill them over medium heat until they are slightly charred. In this way, the ingredients in the orange peel can penetrate into the orange, and after this treatment, the orange peel can also be eaten together. Eating one orange like this in the morning, afternoon and evening every day has certain curative effects on arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, cough, asthma, loss of appetite, indigestion, gastritis, hyperacidity, constipation and other diseases, and has the effect of skin care and beauty. .

Eating too many oranges will cause you to get angry?

Oranges contain extremely high sugar and vitamin C content, and the fruit acid in oranges helps digestion, so that the sugar is easily absorbed by the body, thus generating more heat in the body. Nutritionists have determined that each kilogram of oranges can produce nearly 700 kilocalories of heat, which is comparable to the heat produced by eating four ounces of rice or two and a half portions of pork.

If children eat too much oranges, the heat generated cannot be converted into fat and stored in the body, and cannot be consumed in time. The accumulation will cause "inflammation", which manifests as stomatitis, periodontitis, and throat inflammation. inflammation and constipation, etc. This is because oranges are a food that nourishes blood and qi, and children's physiques are often "yin is often deficient and often more than yin." Oranges make the "blood qi" more abundant, which will cause "heat". Therefore, children should not eat more oranges.
