Precautions for eating oranges
1, oranges should not be eaten on an empty stomach. In the fasting state, the gastric acid content in the body itself is secreted more, while the acidic substances in oranges are rich. Eating oranges on an empty stomach can also stimulate gastric acid secretion, causing acid reflux, nausea, vomiting and other physical discomfort.

3. Oranges are cold and rich in organic acids and sugars. Therefore, people with cold constitution and high gastric acid content and diabetic patients should not eat oranges.
4. Fresh orange peel should not be soaked in water. Orange peel will be coated with wax, which is harmful to human body, so fresh orange peel is not suitable for soaking in water.
