That's why you eat dragon fruit

 

Although the price of dragon fruit is high, its health benefits are astounding. This fruit has been cultivated in our country for several years.

 

A dragon fruit contains 60 calories and is rich in magnesium, vitamin C, omega 3 and omega 9. This result also contains antioxidants such as beta carotene and lycopene. Beta carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body and improves the skin, eyes and immune system. Here are some health benefits of dragon fruit.

 

Prevents constipation: A dragon fruit contains about 8 grams of fiber, which is about one-fourth of the daily recommended amount. It helps in eliminating intestinal wastes. Those who are prone to constipation can benefit from eating this fruit. You can eat dragon fruit by making salsa or adding it to fruit salads or smoothies. The taste of this fruit is light.

 

Benefits for the heart: Dragon fruit seeds contain omega 3 and omega 9 fatty acids which are beneficial for the heart. "The omega-3 fatty acids in dragon fruit are anti-inflammatory," said Kerry Guns, a New York nutritionist and author of The Small Change Diet. That's why playing this fruit reduces the risk of heart disease and joint pain. Eating dragon fruit can also reduce depression.

 

Maintains good bone health: Dragon fruit contains more magnesium than most fruits. It increases bone density and prevents osteoporosis. In osteoporosis, bones become so weak that they can easily break. One bowl of dragon fruit contains about 16 percent of the daily recommended magnesium. Research published in the Journal of International Medical Research suggests that dragon fruit may be particularly helpful in maintaining bone health in women whose menstrual cycle has stopped permanently.

 

Maintains blood circulation: Iron deficiency is one of the most well-known nutritional deficiencies in the world. This problem is more common in women. Most of the iron we get from meat, fish, nuts and pulses. Only a few produce high amounts of iron. One of these fruits is the dragon fruit. 100 grams of dragon fruit contains 1.9 milligrams of iron, which is more than 10 percent of the daily recommended dose. Iron is needed to produce hemoglobin, which helps red blood cells to reach oxygen to body tissues.

 

Prevents hair loss: Iron deficiency can also cause hair loss problems. Regularly eating dragon fruit can reduce hair loss. According to Gary Goldenberg, an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Dermatology at the Icon School of Medicine in New York City, this fruit can alleviate other symptoms of iron deficiency anemia, such as excessive fatigue, skin discoloration, and problems with headaches.

 

Strengthens the Immune System: In viral infections, we usually tend to eat vitamin C-rich fruits, such as oranges, because vitamin C strengthens the immune system. But you can also consider keeping dragon fruit in the diet to increase the efficiency of the immune system. It also contains a lot of vitamin C. Beth Warren, founder and nutritionist at Beth Warren Nutrition, says, ‘Fruits and vegetables contain the antioxidants needed to prevent oxidative stress damage. Dragon fruit is an abundant source of antioxidants.
