Grapefruit is a good thing. Chinese medicine believes that grapefruit is sweet, sour, and cold in nature. It has the functions of invigorating the stomach, reducing food, lowering qi, reducing phlegm, and lightening the body. Modern medical research has found that pomelo meat is very rich in vitamin C and insulin-like ingredients, so it has the effects of lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, losing weight, and beautifying skin. Regular consumption has an adjuvant therapeutic effect on diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and vascular sclerosis, and has the function of strengthening the body and beautifying the obese.
Grapefruit also has the effects of invigorating the stomach, moisturizing the lungs, replenishing blood, clearing the intestines, and improving feces. It can promote wound healing and has a good auxiliary effect on sepsis. In addition, grapefruit contains the physiologically active substance corticoside, which can reduce the viscosity of blood and reduce the formation of thrombus, so it has a better preventive effect on cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral thrombosis and stroke. Fresh pomelo meat is an ideal food for diabetics because it contains ingredients similar to insulin.
So eating more grapefruit has many benefits. "
