Oranges are brightly colored, sweet and sour, but eating too many of them can cause internal heat in the body. Oranges contain a lot of sugar, and eating 1 kilogram of oranges can produce 1,400 calories. When the large amount of calories produced by eating too many oranges cannot be converted into fat storage in time, and the demand for human activities cannot consume it, it will cause an oversupply of calories in the body, causing body dysfunction and resulting in phenomena such as dry tongue, sore throat, and constipation. This is what people often say, "eating too many oranges will cause you to get angry."
