The efficacy and function of tangerine peel

I'm sure everyone has eaten the fruit tangerine, but most people peel off the peel and throw it away before eating the flesh inside. However, they don't know that the tangerine peel they throw away also has a high utilization value. It has many uses in life and can be used as medicine. The following is my detailed introduction to the effects of tangerine peel. After understanding it, you will know its importance.

The efficacy and function of tangerine peel

1. Remove odor

Tangerine peel contains a large amount of natural aromatic substances and some volatile oils, all of which can emit a natural aroma. Putting the tangerine peel taken when eating tangerines in the refrigerator at home can effectively remove the odor in the refrigerator and make the dishes stored in the refrigerator have a light fruity aroma.

2. Purify the air

Purifying the air is also one of the important functions of tangerine peels. Because tangerine peels have super strong adsorption, they can absorb harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, methanol, formaldehyde in the air on their surface, which can filter the indoor air to a certain extent, making people's indoor air fresher and safer. Usually, after people decorate their houses, they put some tangerine peels in the room in time to remove indoor odors and make formaldehyde in the air disappear as soon as possible.

3. Detoxification

Tangerine peel contains a large amount of natural pectin and dietary fiber. After entering the human body, these substances can clear out harmful substances accumulated in the human body. In particular, the pectin it contains can allow heavy metals in the body to be adsorbed on their surface and excreted from the body with feces. It can reduce the accumulation of heavy metals in the human body and prevent them from causing harm to the human body.

4. Protect cardiovascular system

Tangerine peel has a certain protective effect on human cardiovascular system. It not only contains rich pectin, but also a certain amount of rutin. These substances can directly act on human cardiovascular system, improve blood vessel elasticity, remove cholesterol accumulated on blood vessel walls, prevent increase in blood pressure and blood lipids, and reduce the occurrence of common diseases such as arteriosclerosis and thrombosis.
