Tangerines can lower cholesterol thanks to their skin, they concentrate up to 20 times more compounds called polymethoxylated flavones, which help reduce cholesterol naturally.
Also, it contains pectin, which is a soluble fiber that reduces bad cholesterol in the blood.

Avoid constipation
Another of the health properties of tangerines is that it is an ideal fruit to combat constipation.
Tangerines contain 88 percent water in their composition and provide up to 2 grams of dietary fiber, which is concentrated mainly in the white part of the pulp and the rind.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a diet high in fiber increases the weight and size of stools, in addition to softening them, reducing the likelihood of constipation. In addition, fiber reduces the risk of developing hemorrhoids and diseases in the colon.

Eating tangerines may protect against some types of cancer, say researchers from the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine.

These results were verified in patients with hepatitis C, who drank natural mandarin juice and considerably reduced their risk of liver cancer compared to those who did not drink it as part of their usual diet.
