What are the benefits of picking oranges in early summer?

Autumn and winter are the best seasons to eat oranges, because the weather in autumn and winter is relatively dry and it is very easy to get angry. Moreover, oranges are one of the most popular fruits at present, with bitter and warm skin, which has the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and can also prevent diseases such as cold and cough, loss of appetite, chest and abdominal pain.

I hope I can give you some warnings about the five taboos of eating oranges.

Taboo 1: Take medicine and avoid eating oranges.

Oranges are rich in fruit acid and vitamin C. When taking vitamin K, sulfonamides, spironolactone and potassium supplements, you should avoid eating oranges, otherwise the medicinal properties will decline and cause some uncomfortable symptoms.

Taboo 2: People with yin deficiency should eat less.

Oranges are warm fruits. If you eat too much, you will get angry, especially those with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. It is best to eat less, otherwise there will be symptoms such as aphtha, dry mouth, dry throat and constipation.

Taboo 3: Don't eat before meals or on an empty stomach.

Although oranges have many benefits, they should not be eaten more, let alone on an empty stomach, because orange pulp contains a certain amount of organic acids, which is easy to stimulate gastric mucosa.

Taboo 4: Do not eat with radish.

After radish enters the human body, it will quickly produce a substance called sulfate, which is metabolized to produce an antithyroid substance, thiocyanate. If you eat oranges at this time, the flavonoids in oranges will be decomposed in the intestine and converted into hydroxybenzoic acid and ferulic acid, which can strengthen the inhibitory effect of thiocyanate on thyroid, thus inducing or leading to goiter. Therefore, we should pay attention to eating oranges and don't eat radishes together.

Taboo 5: Don't eat with milk.

Protein in milk can easily react with fruit acid and vitamin C in oranges and solidify into lumps, which not only affects digestion and absorption, but also causes abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink milk within 1 hour before and after eating oranges. Effects of oranges on health;

(1) Regular consumption can prevent cancer: a medium-sized orange can provide people with vitamin C for one day and improve the body's ability to resist bacterial invasion. Oranges can scavenge free radicals harmful to health and inhibit the growth of tumor cells. Among all fruits, citrus contains the highest antioxidant substances, including more than 60 flavonoids and 17 carotenoids. Flavonoids have anti-inflammatory, blood vessel strengthening and blood coagulation inhibiting effects. Carotenoids have a strong antioxidant effect. These ingredients make oranges inhibit the occurrence of various cancers.

(2) The content of vitamin C in oranges is very high, and it has always been a favorite fruit of many people. But for women, eating more oranges has an unexpected benefit, which is to reduce the incidence of gallstones.

It is because estrogen can make cholesterol accumulate more in bile, leading to high cholesterol concentration and the formation of stones. Oranges will play an obvious role in reducing the occurrence of gallstones. Because vitamin C in oranges can inhibit the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids in the liver, so that the concentration of cholesterol in bile is reduced, and the chance of their aggregation to form gallstones is correspondingly reduced. In addition, pectin contained in orange peel can also promote food to pass through gastrointestinal tract, so that cholesterol can be excreted with feces more quickly, thus reducing the absorption of cholesterol. People with gallstones can have a good therapeutic effect besides eating oranges and soaking in water.

(3) Oranges, also known as "yellow fruits" and "golden rings", can be divided into sour and sweet. After a full meal, drinking a glass of lime juice can relieve greasy, digestion and stagnation, and has the magical effect of quenching thirst and sobering up. Its pulp is moderately sweet and sour, and its aroma is rich. Oranges contain vitamins A, B, C, D, citric acid, malic acid, pectin and other ingredients. Vitamins P and C can enhance the toughness of capillaries. Pectin can help lipid and cholesterol excrete as soon as possible and reduce the absorption of exogenous cholesterol, so it has the function of lowering blood lipid. Oranges are sour and cool, and have the medicinal effects of promoting qi circulation and resolving phlegm, invigorating spleen and warming stomach, helping digestion and stimulating appetite. In developed countries, the pursuit of natural food, without adding any water, pay attention to the original flavor, and often make oranges into juice, which is an essential first-class drink for every meal. Orange peel, also known as yellow peel, contains a lot of carotene besides the ingredients in the pulp, which can be used as a flavoring agent for strengthening the stomach and fragrance.
