Associate Professor Zhu Yi said in an interview
Eating more oranges does make the skin yellow, this phenomenon is also called "high caroteneemia" "citrus peel", is due to the fact that oranges are rich in carotene, a dose of excessive liver can not be completely decomposed, the concentration of carotene in the blood is too high, will be deposited in the skin stratum corneum and mucous membranes, resulting in yellow skin.
Let's take a look at the >>
01 What should I do if my skin turns yellow?
Experts said that "hypercaroteneemia" sounds like a terrible name, but don't worry, as long as you stop ingesting foods that contain a lot of carotene, drink more water to promote metabolism, and the color can gradually fade after a week or two, which has no impact on health.
In the same way, eating too much pumpkin, carrot, and papaya will also lead to "caroteneemia", and you can't eat too much in a short period of time.
02 How much is appropriate to eat?
According to the recommended amount of chinese residents' dietary guidelines, ordinary adults eat 200 grams to 350 grams of fresh fruit per day, all converted into oranges or about two or three.
Since oranges are rich in organic acids, it is best to eat oranges after meals, and eat them one by one, which is more conducive to blood sugar stability than squeezing them into juice.
In addition, studies have found that if you eat too much and overdosute vitamin C, the oxalic acid metabolized in the body will increase, which will easily cause urinary stones, kidney stones, etc., which will also cause a burden on the mouth and teeth.
03 Which groups of people are more likely to be "recruited"?
Experts said that these people are mainly children, because children are in the development stage, the function of the liver enzymes is relatively weak, so compared with adults, it is more likely to occur this situation, the most obvious manifestation is the yellowing of the palms and feet, many people who come to the doctor are often worried about acute hepatitis, and then they know that it is caused by eating too much oranges.
04 How easy is it to eat oranges?
In chinese medicine, oranges are not hot fruits, but are classified as warm fruits, but because autumn is a dry season, dry can hurt Jin, in such an environment, for people with a hot physique, eating warm oranges may be on fire.
Therefore, for those people with hot constitutions who are prone to tantrums and dry stools, oranges should be eaten less. If you have symptoms such as sore mouth and tongue, dry mouth and tongue, dry throat, constipation, etc., do not eat oranges. People who do not have internal heat, especially those with a cold constitution, can eat more appropriately.

Oranges are rich in fruit acid and vitamin C, and oranges should be avoided when taking vitamin K, sulfonamides, tranquilis and potassium supplements.
02 Avoid fresh orange peel to make tea
Most of the oranges after picking are soaked with preservatives and then listed, the preservative is a chemical preparation, which has no effect on the pulp, but the remaining preservatives on the orange peel are difficult to wash off with water, if you use such orange peel to brew water as a tea drink, it is harmful to health.
03 Oranges should not be eaten with milk
The protein in milk is easy to react with the fruit acid and vitamin C in oranges, coagulating into pieces, not only affecting digestion and absorption, but also causing bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, and should eat oranges after drinking milk for 1 hour; in addition, gastrointestinal, kidney, lung function deficiency should not eat more, so as not to induce abdominal pain.
