Traditional Chinese medicine believes that orange peel is pungent, bitter and warm, and enters the lung and spleen meridians, which has the effects of harmonizing middle qi, reducing adverse reactions, stopping vomiting, drying and warming and resolving phlegm, and is suitable for spleen and stomach qi stagnation, chest fullness, nausea, anorexia, loose stool, and excessive expectoration. Pharmacological research shows that this product contains volatile oil, flavonoid glycosides (such as hesperidin), inositol, vitamin B and so on. Volatile oil has a certain stimulating effect on the digestive tract, which is conducive to the discharge of gastrointestinal gas, promoting the secretion of gastric juice and helping digestion; Can stimulate respiratory mucosa, increase secretion, dilute sputum, easy to discharge; Can reduce the brittleness of capillaries and prevent microvascular bleeding; Flavonoid glycosides have the effect of reducing blood lipid.
An epidemiological survey of nearly 50,000 people who eat citrus in southwest China shows that the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in these people is extremely low, because citrus, especially kumquat, contains hesperidin similar to vitamin P, which can enhance the elasticity and toughness of blood vessels, reduce the permeability of capillaries, prevent capillary rupture and prevent atherosclerosis and hypertension. American scientists have observed that citrus pectin used to make jam can reduce the formation of coronary artery fat plaque. People with hypercholesterolemia often eat some oranges, which can lower serum cholesterol. Eating citrus can reduce cholesterol in arteries and help reverse atherosclerosis. People who often eat fresh citrus can reduce the cholesterol flowing in the blood by 15%- 18%, and help to relieve the cholesterol and other fatty substances that form adhesion on the inner wall of blood vessels. Japanese scientists also found through animal experiments that dietary fiber acetylene in citrus can inhibit amylase and form neutral fat. They experimented with two groups of mice. One group was fed with high-fat food, and the other group was fed with high-fat food containing 12% heptene. After comparison, it was found that the fat weight of the latter was significantly less than that of the former. Therefore, they think that eating more citrus foods is helpful to reduce blood fat and lose weight. A substance contained in citrus juice can decompose carcinogens in the body, thus reducing its toxicity, cutting off the long carbon chain of nucleic acid, inhibiting and blocking the growth of cancer cells, increasing the activity of detoxification enzymes in the body by more than two times, and preventing the occurrence of gastric cancer. Vitamin A, carotene, citrus flavonoids, etc. Benzopyrene, a strong carcinogen that can be decomposed into the body, resists the damage of oxygen free radicals in the body to cell membranes and prevents cell canceration. The residue of citrus juice is rich in pectin, which can adsorb lead and iron, and the adsorbed iron can further adsorb harmful substances such as arsenic, fluorine, phosphorus and boron.
