It is true that your skin turns yellow if you eat too many oranges, and this symptom is caused by carotenemia.
Oranges contain a large amount of beta carotene, which is yellow in color. After consuming oranges in large quantities, the human body ingests excessive amounts of beta carotene. When the excess carotene cannot be excreted from the body through normal metabolism, it will be deposited in the skin, and the symptom of yellow coloration of the skin will appear.
Generally speaking, beta carotene xanthoderma caused by overconsumption of oranges can be avoided without too much worry, and most of them can subside on their own. You can stop eating oranges, drink more water to strengthen the metabolism, and soon the symptoms of skin yellowing will disappear.
Precautions: When the symptoms of yellow skin, if you exclude the recent consumption of carrots, oranges, pumpkin and other yellow foods, you should go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions.
