It is precisely in the months when the 'r' is in the month that we have to take extra care of our immune system.

Perhaps that's not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of citrus fruits or tangerines. Yet these fruits can strengthen your bones. That is not surprising, because it contains a lot of trace elements, just like minerals, including calcium. Calcium is essential for the formation and strengthening of your bones. In addition, calcium ensures healthy teeth.

Your skin is the largest organ and that is why it is very important to keep your skin in top condition. Your body needs a lot of vitamin C for healthy skin. Vitamin C ensures that more collagen connective tissue is produced. And that's exactly what you need for beautiful and smooth skin.

Tangerines are real vitamin C bombs! A must if you want to provide your skin with the necessary vitamins in a natural way. By the way, there are more indispensable substances in this fruit. How about pro vitamin A, also known as beta-carotene. This ensures regeneration of cells, including your skin.
It has already been said in the introduction, but nothing is as important for our health as our immune system, especially in the autumn and winter when many people suffer from colds, coughs and flu.
Mandarins are packed with vitamin C and that is indispensable to get rid of that annoying cold. Eat 3 – 4 mandarins daily and you have already covered 1/3 of the daily requirement of vitamin C.
