Have you ever heard of red fruit? This one fruit can only be found in Papua. The Papuans themselves call this fruit the name Kuan Hsu and often referred to as the fruit of the miracle. The reason is because indeed this fruit is rich in benefits. Red fruit can cure various diseases, including serious diseases. Want to know what are the benefits of red fruit that we can get? Let's look at the following review.
Benefits of red fruit from Papua
Red fruit is rich in nutrients, so it can offer various benefits for you. This fruit is very rich in antioxidants and also fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-9). Both of these compounds can help your body ward off free radicals that can cause cell damage. Also, it can increase your body's immunity.
The following are some of the benefits of red fruit:
1. Prevent cancer
High antioxidant content in red fruit can protect body cells from free radicals. Where, free radicals are one of the things that can cause cancer. The content of tocopherol in red fruit is very high, reaching 11000 ppm, also the carotene content of 7000 ppm. Both are types of antioxidants that can strengthen the body's immune system against free radicals. These antioxidants work by facilitating blood flow and increasing the body's immunity, thus preventing the production of cancer cells.
2. Prevent diabetes
Diabetes can also be prevented or cured with the help of red fruit. The content of tocopherol in red fruit can help your body control blood sugar levels. Tocopherol can help improve the work of the pancreas, so the use of the hormone insulin to convert sugar into energy becomes more effective. That way, your risk of developing diabetes may be reduced.
3. Prevent high blood pressure and other related diseases
Again, the high antioxidant content in red fruit benefits you in preventing high blood pressure. Tocopherol in red fruit can help the body thin the blood and facilitate blood circulation. Thus, blood clotting is not easy to occur and does not cause blockage of blood flow. That way, your risk of experiencing high blood pressure, stroke, or heart disease is reduced.
4. Maintain eye health
Red fruit is also one source of high beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is one type of vitamin A that is needed by your eyes to see. By meeting the needs of beta-carotene, the health of your eyes is maintained. Not surprisingly, people in Papua have good eye health because of the consumption of this red fruit.
5. Helps prevent HIV / AIDS and hepatitis B
Red fruit can strengthen your immune system, so your risk is smaller for getting HIV / AIDS and hepatitis. In addition to antioxidants, omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids in red fruit can also function as antiviral agents that can inhibit the formation of viral membrane lipids. This makes the virus unable to multiply, thus helping prevent HIV / AIDS and hepatitis B.
