A pomelo fruit contains 600% of the daily requirement of vitamin C, which makes it a booster for the body’s immunity, as vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and increases the activity of white blood cells and attacks free radicals which damage the organs of the body.
Helps with digestion:
One pomelo contains 25% of the daily requirement for fiber, and this stimulates healthy digestion of the body and reduces health problems such as constipation and diarrhea.
Blood pressure regulation:
The fruit of the pomelo is a good source of potassium, as the whole fruit contains 37% of the daily requirement and the potassium works to expand blood vessels, which means that it reduces the pressure on them and increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the organs.
Prevent Cramps:
Potassium has another benefit in the body, which is maintaining fluid balance in the body, which is essential for muscle spasms.When potassium levels are lower than normal, a person can suffer from facial spasms and become more susceptible to muscle strain and ligament tears.
Improve Bone Health:
Potassium levels are related to bone density as it helps absorb many essential minerals to keep bones strong. Therefore, the pomelo fruit helps prevent osteoporosis and general bone weakness in the body.
