If your not eating grapefruit maybe you should consider it. What a great food choice grapefruit is. As it relates to vitamin C a medium sized grapefruit can give you up to 120% of the RDA recommended daily intake! At only 110 calories (approx by size.) NO fat, 2 grams fiber, 1 gram protein and 13 grams carbs its a great, feel good food! Consuming a whole grapefruit is filling, adds water to your system and is an energy boost.
On top of that grapefruit is said to help dissolve inorganic calcium in the body. From what I have read inorganic calcium can deposit in the cartilage of the joints (arthritis). Grapefruit can also help in weight loss as it contains high amounts of fat burning enzymes, has high water content to help with metabolism and contains antioxidants for good health.
Don't be afraid to eat some of the white surrounding the flesh of the fruit either! This contains many added benefits. If your just drinking the juice of the grapefruit your robbing yourself of important benefits and if your not juicing the fruit yourself you may be getting added calories and junk added.
Grapefruit can be bitter, the fresher it is the better it is. I have had some grapefruit that literally tastes like candy! I bought that on a fruit farm where it was harvested that day. Amazing! Store bought is sometimes bitter, most of the pink grapefruit is spot on in the taste category.
Give grapefruit a chance. Eat it for a week, you might grow to LOVE it as I have and get the added benefits from it!!
Thanks for visiting!
Until next time,
