Krasnoyarsk Rospotrebnadzor named the fruit with the most useful “vitamin filling”

Specialists from the Krasnoyarsk Rospotrebnadzor named grapefruit one of the healthiest fruits.

As the department said, the fruit contains a rich complex of vitamins (A, C, D, group B) and minerals (potassium, magnesium, calcium). However, its main feature is the presence of the flavonoid naringenin, which is mainly found in the bitter white partitions. This substance speeds up metabolism, helps the liver break down fats, lowers cholesterol levels and suppresses appetite, which makes grapefruit an effective aid for weight loss.

Also, the essential oils contained in grapefruit can reduce headaches and nervousness.

At the same time, Rospotrebnadzor warns of strict contraindications. Grapefruit is not recommended for people with allergies, peptic ulcers, gastritis with high acidity, as well as pancreatitis, pyelonephritis, cystitis and hepatitis.
