Eating more oranges will turn into minions?
yes.
If you eat more yellow foods such as carrots, pumpkins, mangoes, and citrus in the recent diet, it is possible that the palms of the hands and feet and the skin of the face are obviously yellow, as if they have "jaundice".
In fact, if you go to the hospital to check, you will find that the sclera of the eye has not turned yellow, the diet, sleep, bowel and urine and growth and development are normal, and the liver function test is also normal.
Then the cause of skin color yellowing is the intake of too much food rich in β- carotene, although the diet should pay attention to the intake of β- carotene, but because it is a fat-soluble vitamin, if long-term intake of a large amount, the human body is unable to metabolize all of it, easy to cause the phenomenon of skin yellowing, medically known as "high caroteneemia."
If such a phenomenon occurs, do not worry, because the "hypercaroteneemia" caused by food generally does not cause toxic effects, and after suspending the consumption of such foods, the skin color will gradually return to normal.
It is recommended that you diversify your vegetables and fruits every day, so that you can avoid the situation of "minions".
