Mandarin or tangerine is a citrus fruit, similar to an orange in shape and characterized by its sweet taste and small size. It has been associated with the cold seasons of the year and strengthening the immune system against seasonal colds, as one mandarin fruit covers about 43 percent of the adult human's need for vitamin C per day, according to the German Consumer Information Service website. However, the German "Brigette" magazine revealed other significant health benefits of this small fruit:
bone strengthening
Mandarin contains a lot of trace elements and minerals such as calcium, which strengthen bones and dental health. In addition, this fruit has a good rate of bioavailability, i.e. the body's ability to better absorb the nutrients in citrus fruits and the reason for this is the acid in the fruit.
Skin health and freshness
The body needs a lot of vitamin C for healthy and supple skin, and this requires the production of a large amount of collagen. Thanks to collagen for beautiful and smooth skin. However, the body cannot produce vitamin C on its own, but obtains it through food. Mandarin fruit is like a real bombshell of vitamin C, and it is also beneficial for the skin, because it is rich in vitamin A, also known as beta-carotene, which is responsible for the renewal of skin cells.
Strengthening the immune system
The body also benefits from the vitamin C in mandarin in fighting colds. This vitamin can strengthen the immune system, and in the event of a cold, it also works to shorten the duration of infection and speed up the recovery process.
Weight loss
It's hard to believe, but it's true. American researchers have discovered through a study that tangerine can help us lose weight, because the substance "Nobiletin" in citrus fruits stimulates fat burning. This substance is mainly found under the peel right inside the white fibers, which are often thrown away when peeled, so it's best to eat it too.
Liver health
The substance "Nobilitin" has another good property. It helps to get rid of excess fat and prevent its accumulation in the liver, which is called "fatty liver", which is the result of eating a lot of sugars and carbohydrates. It also causes various diseases such as several types of cancer in addition to diabetes and osteoporosis.
