We know fruits and vegetables are healthy foods. They are good for us and don’t make us fat. Doctors and parents want us to have fruits and vegetables for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But after eating some fruits and vegetables too much, our skin (皮肤) can get yellow.
Some fruits and vegetables have carotene (胡萝卜素). After eating too many fruits and vegetables with carotene, we may have hypercarotenaemia (柑皮症) and our skin will get yellow. We don’t need to go to see a doctor after having hypercarotenaemia. If we don’t have fruits or vegetables with carotene for about four weeks, our skin can be OK.
Carrots, tomatoes and oranges are some of these fruits and vegetables. So don’t eat too many carrots, tomatoes or oranges. Doctors say we can only have two or three oranges a day, and it’s good to have them after lunch and dinner.
