Soaking fresh orange peel in water will not only cure the disease, but also be "dangerous": first of all, fresh orange peel does contain some nutrients, but these nutrients are not "unique to orange peel" and the amount is not very large. In addition, the amount of orange peel water we drink at a time (every day) is limited, so it is simply "exaggeration" to drink orange peel water to treat diseases.
Secondly, a large number of "microorganisms" generally remain on the surface of fresh orange peel. If you soak in water directly without any treatment, it will undoubtedly increase the risk of intestinal infection, diarrhea and other problems.
Orange is a kind of "sweet fruit", which is more vulnerable to pests and diseases during its growth. In order to prevent pests, fruit farmers will "spray pesticides" during the growth of oranges from flowering to fruiting. It is worth noting that the relevant testing departments generally only take the edible parts of oranges as samples when determining pesticide residues. When the pesticide residue in orange pulp reaches the limit requirement in the national standard, it can be allowed to be sold; However, the content of profenofos on the surface of orange peel often exceeds the standard, and the pesticide residue is even several times higher than that of pulp.
If fresh orange peels are often soaked in water, it is easy for the body to induce food poisoning by ingesting pesticides. Long-term or large intake will even increase the metabolic burden of liver and kidney, causing greater harm to your body.
Relatively speaking, "Chenpi" is more suitable for soaking in water: since fresh orange peel contains more "harmful substances" such as pesticides and preservatives, can orange peel be drunk without soaking in water? Actually, it is not. Compared with fresh orange peel, dried orange peel is more suitable for soaking in water.
Although dried tangerine peel is softened by air drying with fresh orange peel, it is different from fresh orange peel. For those orange peels that can be made into dried tangerine peel, a higher standard screening will generally be carried out. The whole screening will have high restrictions on the varieties and access time of oranges, and pesticides on the surface of dried tangerine peel are also one of the "restrictions". Fresh orange peel is made into dried orange peel by air drying, sealed storage, humidification and softening, secondary air drying, sun drying and other steps. Generally, it can be eaten after being placed for more than one year.
During the air-drying process of dried tangerine peel, some pesticides on its surface will decompose and volatilize, and some volatile oils contained in it will also decompose and volatilize during the preparation process.
Soaking in water with dried tangerine peel, what good is it for your health? Increase the amount of drinking water to prevent various "drying problems": because boiled water has no taste, some people don't like drinking water; When the dried tangerine peel is soaked in water, the boiled water will become fragrant and sweet. Drinking such water will inevitably increase the amount of drinking water and make people prefer drinking water.
Drinking enough water will "relieve" the dryness of the human body, such as constipation, acne on the face due to dryness, and dry skin.
Fresh breath, enhance personal charm: Chenpi has a pure natural fragrance. Drinking old skin water can undoubtedly beautify our breath and enhance our personal charm when interacting with people.
Enhance appetite, strengthen stomach and promote digestion: Dried tangerine peel beverage has more "practical benefits" to the digestive system, helping people who don't like eating to become more fond of eating, and at the same time promoting gastrointestinal digestion and absorption.
It is safer to soak the dried tangerine peel in water: before soaking the dried tangerine peel, please thoroughly clean the dried tangerine peel with purified water to remove dust, impurities and other "harmful substances" on the surface. Although dried tangerine peel has a good "health preserving function", it should not be "blindly ingested in large quantities". It is suggested that the amount of drinking Chenpi water should not exceed 1000 ml every day, leaving a certain space for boiling water. If you are allergic to dried tangerine peel or sensitive person in the stomach, please refuse to drink dried tangerine peel water, and don't add trouble to your body. People who love drinking water can be healthier, have a better mood and have smoother intestines; Drink "old orange peel water" if you have nothing to do, and don't take "fresh orange peel" as a good medicine. Your health should be obtained under the premise of safety.
