Throw away women’s cosmetics! A fruit that can easily replace

Pitaya, also known as "red dragon fruit" and "auspicious fruit", belongs to the cactus family and is a fruit that is produced in abundance in summer. The flesh of pitaya is high in fiber, low in calories, and has high nutritional value. It is rich in vitamin C, plant protein, anthocyanins, water-soluble dietary fiber, carotene, etc. It has antioxidant, anti-free radical, and anti-aging effects, and can also improve the prevention of brain cell degeneration.

Anthocyanins are natural antioxidants

Anthocyanins are currently internationally recognized as the most effective natural antioxidant for removing free radicals from the human body. Their anti-free radical oxidation ability is 50 times that of vitamin E and 20 times that of vitamin C. A Taiwanese study found that the anthocyanin content of red dragon fruit is 15 times that of cherries and 28 times that of red globe grapes. In addition to having strong antioxidant capacity, it can also prevent high blood pressure and alleviate liver dysfunction.

Anthocyanin is a water-soluble pigment and a nutrient that plays a huge role in our body. Anthocyanins can change color according to the acidity and alkalinity of the cell fluid. If the cell fluid is acidic, it will be reddish; if the cell fluid is alkaline, it will be blue. Anthocyanins are known as "oral skin cosmetics" in Europe. They can replenish nutrition and eliminate harmful free radicals in the body, preventing the premature formation of skin wrinkles.

Dragon fruit helps cardiovascular health

A Malaysian study found that eating dragon fruit is beneficial to cardiovascular health and is very meaningful for the prevention of blood pressure problems and heart disease. It is also rich in fiber and vitamin C. The research has been published in the journal Pharmacognosy Research.

Dragon fruit is sweet and mild in nature. It contains plant albumin, anthocyanins and water-soluble dietary fiber that are rare in general plants. It has the effects of lowering blood pressure, eliminating heat and improving constipation, and is very suitable for consumption by the elderly.
