Precautions:
Citrus fruits should not be eaten too much. Only on the basis of balanced nutrition can the health care function of various foods be fully reflected. You can't eat oranges just because you love them, because you have to eat a few kilograms every day in pursuit of nutrition, so it is easy to get "orange peel disease" and make people's skin yellow. Eating a lot of citrus fruits on an empty stomach can also stimulate the stomach.
