In the consumption of oranges at the same time, should pay attention to the following points: 1, reasonable control of the amount of oranges consumed. You can eat oranges for a long time, 1 to 2 per day, but do not exceed the amount. Oranges are warm, easy to eat more fire, there will be sores on the mouth, dry mouth, dry throat, constipation and other symptoms; excessive consumption of oranges, high concentration of carotenoids in the blood will lead to yellowing of the skin and so on. 2, do not eat oranges on an empty stomach. Orange pulp contains a certain amount of organic acid, which will stimulate the gastric mucosa and cause discomfort. 3, do not use fresh orange peel to make tea. Fresh orange peel contains volatile oil, which can stimulate the digestive tract, leading to digestive disorders, plus the surface of the orange peel with pesticides or preservatives, general washing, sunlight may not be able to remove these harmful substances clean.

After eating radish will quickly produce a substance called sulfate, and soon metabolize an anti-thyroid substance – thiocyanic acid. If you eat oranges at this time, the flavonoids in oranges will be forced to break down in the intestines and transform into hydroxybenzoic acid and ferulic acid, which can strengthen the inhibitory effect of thiocyanic acid on the thyroid gland and thus induce goiter. 5, oranges do not eat with milk. The protein in milk reacts easily with the fruit acids and vitamin C in oranges, and coagulates into blocks, which not only affects digestion and absorption, but also causes bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, you should not drink milk within 1 hour before and after eating oranges. Oranges are good not to eat more, oranges are rich in nutrients also need to be reasonable with.
