Patient's question:
Shatian pomelo is my husband's favorite. Every time we go out, as long as he sees Shatian pomelo for sale, he insists on buying it. I'd like to ask what nutrients are in Shatian pomelo? Is it beneficial for health to eat it regularly?Doctor's answer:
The Shatian pomelo has very high nutritional value, and its vitamin C content is twenty times higher than that of apples. That's all. The sugars in the Shatian pomelo are mainly fructose, which can be directly metabolized and utilized by the human body. The Shatian pomelo not only has extremely high nutritional value but also possesses functions such as improving digestion, moisturizing the lungs, replenishing qi, clearing the intestines, and promoting bowel movements. It can enhance wound healing and has a good therapeutic effect on conditions like anemia. Additionally, due to the presence of the physiologically active substance glycoside in the Shatian pomelo, it can reduce blood viscosity and increase the formation of blood clots, making it effective in preventing cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral thrombosis and stroke. Furthermore, the fresh pomelo flesh contains components similar to insulin, making it an ideal food for diabetics. Therefore, eating it regularly is very beneficial for health.
