How much can you eat tangerines in the New Year without any harm to the body?

Mandarin - the winter in the world of fruit and whatever was prepared for the New Year, I, like probably many people concerned about the issue - and how you can eat those fruits redhead on holiday without damaging health?

In search of an answer, I decided to conduct a little research on the scientific books, articles of Mandarin and that's what found out.

Mandarin - a storehouse of biologically active substances, especially high content:

· Vitamin C - strengthens the immune system, protects against free radicals;

· Pectins - toxins, lowers cholesterol levels;

· Vitamin B6 - normalizes the functioning of the heart;

· Fructose - is converted into energy for the brain.

These fruits quench thirst and stimulate appetite, improve your mood and even contribute to healthy sleep. In general, for everyday and festive table good!

But there is another side to the mandarins and the influence on the human body. If you use them too much, may face the following consequences:

· An increase in gastric acidity and the development of gastritis;

· Difficulty functioning pancreas;

· Violation of the outflow of bile;

· Destruction of tooth enamel;

· Constipation and worsening of the assimilation of vitamins of group B.

Theoretically, mandarins performed on fasting days - up to 1 kg eating fruits or drinking 2 liters of juice from them. From personal experience I know that fruit diet helps lose weight.

But if we are talking about a combination of mandarin oranges with a conventional or a festive menu, it is possible to adhere to the following nutritionists recommended daily requirement:

· Toddlers up to 3 years - is quite impossible;

· Children up to 8 years - 1 pc;

· Children under 12 years old - 2 pcs;

· Adolescents up to 18 years - 3 pcs;

· Adults - 8-10 pieces;

· People over 55 years old - no more than 5 pcs;

· Pregnant women - 4 pcs.

In such quantities of mandarins in the new year does not hurt the body.

And good to know how to properly eat. The store can be taken safely even green - they are well dospevayut home.

Good washing the mandarins, the skins can be put on the candied fruit. Bones decided to throw out, but you can eat a couple of stuff, chewed or chopped previously - they contain essential amino acids and antioxidant compounds.

Tangerines hardly lose their useful properties after thermal (heat) processing. They are good fat dishes to complement the meat (for example - for the holiday stuffed duck or pork knuckle) - they facilitate their assimilation.
