If you eat too many oranges at once, your normal skin will appear yellow.
This is because orange fruits contain carotene. If you eat too much at one time, the excessive carotene will not be metabolized for a while, and will enter the blood circulation, flow to all tissues and organs of the whole body, and dye the skin yellow.
However, this is only a short-term [color value problem] and will not affect health. As long as you don’t eat yellow fruits and vegetables (oranges, oranges, carrots, pumpkins, etc.) for the time being, you can return to normal in 3 to 5 days.
Before the Spring Festival, it is time for citrus fruits to mature and go on the market in large quantities. Juicy, sweet and sour oranges, oranges, grapefruit, mandarin oranges… have become the hearts of many people.

In winter when there is a shortage of fresh fruits and vegetables, oranges are definitely a good source of VC. Two medium-sized oranges can meet 1/2 of the VC demand a day.
In addition, this kind of fruit also contains rich potassium, carotenoids, hesperetin, naringenin and so on, which are all beneficial ingredients for health.
