Health benefits of pomelo
Pomelo contains many health-promoting nutrients . Scientific research supports the health-promoting properties of pomelo as follows:
1. May be good for your heart health
Grapefruit peel is rich in various compounds such as flavonoids, coumarin, limonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood vessel reducing properties. Therefore, it may help maintain heart health and prevent cardiovascular diseases. A study published in PLOS One in October 2013 studied the effectiveness of grapefruit peel and metabolic disorders caused by high-fat diets. It was found that grapefruit peel is rich in various compounds such as flavonoids, coumarin, limonoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, and heart-healthy properties.
2. May help fight wrinkles
Grapefruit is rich in many antioxidants such as vitamin C, hesperidin, neohesperidin, and naringenin, which help fight skin inflammation. It may therefore help prevent wrinkles. A study published in the EXCLI Journal in June 2013 studied grapefruit extract in preventing inflammation caused by sugar and glycation, a process in which excessive consumption of sugar or starch causes blood sugar to react with proteins.
3. May help fight fungus and bacteria.
The essential oil extracts from grapefruit may have antibacterial and antifungal properties, such as Staphylococcus Aureus (S. aureus), which is a microorganism that causes food-borne diseases (pathogen) and may be developed for use as a food preservative. A study published in the journal Molecules in April 2018 studied the antibacterial and antifungal properties of grapefruit extracts.
4. May help fight cancer
Pomelo contains compounds called polysaccharides that may have properties that can help inhibit the growth of cancer tumors, induce tumor death, and help improve the body’s immune system. A study published in the journal Polymers in April 2018 studied the preliminary structure of polysaccharides from pomelo peel and their anti-tumor mechanisms.
Precautions for consuming pomelo
Some precautions to take before consuming pomelo may include the following:
