Grapefruit

The health benefits of grapefruit are
too many to be overlooked.
Its albedo contains many anti-cancer
agents that help fight a host of diseases.

The grapefruit is a large orange-like fruit that belongs to the citrus family.  It is a somewhat "new" addition to the family, deriving from a natural cross-breeding between orange and pomelo, thus its size.

The diameter of a grapefruit, depending on its variety, can range between four and six inches.  Its albedo (the white matter under the skin) is about a quarter to half an inch thick.  The fruit's skin looks like that of an orange, but its flesh comes in white, pink or red. 

It is called a grapefruit simply because it grows in clusters, like grapes.  The taste of a grapefruit can be bitter and sour but it has so many health benefits.

Nutritional Benefits

Grapefruit doesn't only contain vitamin C which is commonly known to be protective against cold or flu.  It is not just one nutrient that helps prevent a certain disease, but rather the combination of several ingredients in it that does the trick.  This is the kind of nutritional power that we can find only in the way God makes our natural food.

This juicy fruit contains citric acid, natural sugars, essential oils like limonene, pinene and citral.  It has high amounts of vitamin C, and smaller amounts of vitamin A, B complex, E and K. 

In the mineral department, larger amounts of calcium, folic acid, phosphorus, and potassium are found.  The nutritive phytonutrients of this voluptuous fruit¾liminoids, flavonoids, lycopene and glucarates¾help fight cancer and various diseases.

Health Benefits

When eating or juicing grapefruit, peel off the skin but leave as much of the albedo intact as possible as it contains the highest amount of valuable bioflavonoids and other anti-cancer agents.

Acidity:  Although grapefruit has a sub-acid taste, its juice actually has an alkaline reaction after digestion.  This has a profound effect in the treatment of acidity in the digestive system that causes a host of other health problems.

Atherosclerosis:  Pectin in this fruit has been found to be effective in reducing the accumulation of arterial deposits, and the vitamin C helps to strengthen and maintain the elasticity of arteries.

Breast cancer:  In another study, the bioflavonoids found in grapefruit was discovered to even halt cancer cells from spreading in breast cancer patients, by ridding the body of excess estrogen.

Common cold:  A common cold is usually your body telling you that you are overworked.  A regular drink of grapefruit during a stressful period gives your immune system the boost needed to prevent it coming on.

Cholesterol: A certain compound found in grapefruit helps reduce the excessive production of cholesterol from the liver.

Diabetes:  A diabetic can safely eat a grapefruit.  In fact, more consumption of this fruit will help reduce the starches and sweets in the system.  If you have a tendency towards diabetes, consume more grapefruit juice to prevent it.

Digestive disorder:  This juice helps to promote digestion by increasing the flow of gastric juices.  Eat the fruit together with its albedo and pith for their extra fiber that aids bowel movements.

Fatigue:  At the end of a long and tiring day, drink a glass of grapefruit juice with lemon juice in equal parts with a little honey, to dispel all fatigue and tiredness.

Fever:  Besides drinking plenty of fluids, also drink grapefruit juice to reduce fever.

Insomnia:  A drink of grapefruit juice before bedtime, helps to promote sleep and alleviates insomnia.
