Health Benefits of Honeybells

Honeybells are luscious fruits citrus fans look forward to every year.  The sweet, succulence of honeybells is absolutely irresistible.  When you send or receive one of those fabulous gift baskets overflowing with honeybells, did you know it was also a healthy offering?

 
Honeybells are both delicious and nutritious.  Unlike sugary snacks, honeybells are sweet without all the guilt. When you snack on those tantalizing honeybells, you're doing something wonderful for your taste buds and your well-being.
 
Much like oranges, tangerines and grapefruit, honeybells are rich in Vitamin C to boost your immune system.  Since honeybells are typically harvested in late December through January, you get a healthy dose of Vitamin C when you need it most.  Building your immune system at this crucial time of year helps your body fight off colds and flus.
 
According to Simin Nikbin Meydani, DVM, PhD, professor of nutrition and immunology at Friedman School fo Nutrition Science and Policy and Sackler Graduate School at Tufts University, “Normal blood levels of Vitamin C are absolutely critical for optimal immunity.”
 
In other words, you could almost say a honeybell a day will help keep the doctor away during cold season.  Because your body doesn't store Vitamin C, you need to replenish your supply daily.  Those irresistible honeybells will help keep you healthy.
 
Another essential element found in honeybells is hespederidin.  This citrus bioflavonoid is anti-inflammatory and anti-allergen.  Other benefits include improvement of capillary health and connective tissues, help with bruising, cancer treatment and even helping to minimize the symptoms of hay fever.
 
Another name for the hespederidin contained in honeybells is Vitamin P.  Hespederin works with Vitamin C to maintain the health of collagen for smoother skin.  When collagen breaks down, wrinkling and sagging of the skin occur. Eating honeybells can actually help reduce the signs of aging on your skin for a youthful, healthier glow.
 
Both hespederidin and Vitamin C are found naturally in honeybells.  Rather than taking supplements or wondering if your immune system can handle the cold season, feast on those fantastically juicy honeybells.  The powerful combination of hespedirin and Vitamin C will keep your body at its best.  Honeybells also have calcium for better bone health.
 
Honeybells are a good source of fiber without all the fat your body doesn't need.  The natural sugar and fiber found in honeybells gives you the satisfaction and energy you need without all the unnecessary calories.  Honeybells are also refreshing because they are laden with juice.
 
Instead of heading for the high calorie holiday snacks, grab yourself a few honeybells.  These heavy, sweet citrus fruits will help you stay healthy and fit amidst the holiday temptations.  Nibble on honeybell sections and feel good while everyone eats junk food and complains about growing waistlines.
 
You are what you eat so why give in holiday temptation?  Honeybells are only available for a limited time.  Take advantage of the holiday season to eat as many honeybells as you want.  After all, honeybells are filled with healthy Vitamin C and hespederidin so there's no guilt.
