Pomelo’s Outstanding Health Benefits
Pomelo boasts of many health benefits due to its high amounts of vitamin C. Here are some of pomelo’s nutritional benefits that you should be aware of:
Boosts Your Immune System. One serving of pomelo fruit contains roughly 116 milligrams of vitamin C, a whopping 193 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C intake. Vitamin C is famous for its effects on the immune system, its ability to aid in wound healing and its function in the body’s iron absorption. It also helps fight off harmful free radicals.6
Assists in Digestion. Pomelo contains high amounts of fiber, which helps in maintaining the balance in the digestive system. It promotes healthy digestion and smooth movement of bowels in the digestive tract, therefore helping you avoid diarrhea and constipation.7
Maintains Normal Blood Pressure Levels. The potassium in pomelo can help release tension in blood vessels and aid in blood circulation and the oxygenation of the different body systems. It also helps prevent atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes because it minimizes the strain on the heart.8
Aids in Weight Loss. Eating pomelo can also be essential in weight loss because it contains fat-burning enzymes that can help decrease the amount of sugar and starch in the body. It is also filling, helping you avoid overeating.9
Studies also show that the extract from pomelo skin can help resolve metabolic disorders. Previous studies have suggested that citrus peels are abundant with flavonoids, coumarins and limonoids. These components have an effect on the cardiovascular, immune and the endocrine systems. According to the research, obese mice (fed with a high-fat diet) who were treated with pomelo peel extract showed an improved glucose tolerance
