New Year is snow, a Christmas tree and tangerines on the table.

In winter, citrus fruits not only improve mood, but also help to fill the deficiency of certain vitamins.

Why tangerines are good for you

Citrus fruits contain a lot of sugar, organic acids, they are rich in B vitamins, vitamin C and potassium. If you regularly eat tangerines, you can raise immunity and improve your condition during seasonal colds and ailments caused by them.

Contraindications:

  • Peptic ulcer,
  • Gastritis,
  • Diabetes,
  • Allergy to citrus fruits.

How to identify allergies?

Give your child a small amount of tangerine if a rash, runny nose, watery eyes appear, or the child complains of shortness of breath - this is an allergic reaction.

At what age should you give your child tangerines?

Pediatricians advise to gradually introduce tangerines after 1 year.

If parents are faced with food allergies in a child, it is better to wait with citrus fruits until the age of 3 years.

According to Dr. Komarovsky, a year is too early to introduce tangerines into the diet. He recommends, even in the absence of any allergies, to start giving the child tangerines at 1.5 years old and closely monitor the body's reaction to the delicacy.
