It seems like a miraculous fruit that solves all the problems of modern times. Until you try it, you won't know its effects on your body... And don't worry, all the effects are unique, mainly helping the heart and blood vessels - indirectly and directly.
We all know that moderate physical activity is the best medicine against high blood pressure, as well as against excess weight. But if you drink more than half a liter of grapefruit juice (or orange juice) a day, it will affect many internal processes crucial for health.
First and foremost, with half a liter of freshly squeezed juice, you will get a sufficient amount of vitamin C, pectin fiber, and antioxidants. Grapefruit, especially grapefruit peel extract, contains a tremendous amount of polyphenols that act as potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, which typically break down starch and disaccharides into glucose.
Also, a reminder: drink grapefruit juice (or other citrus juices) half an hour before a meal and you don't have to drink it all at once. Distribute the juice throughout the day. You can freshen up a glass of juice with ice cubes, and you can also serve it with mint leaves for a pleasant taste. For additional health benefits, add finely chopped grapefruit peel to the drink.
Give it a try!
