Get Healthy Stay Healthy with Florida Grapefruits

Florida grapefruits are one of the healthiest things you can eat. Grapefruits and grapefruit juice are not quite as popular as oranges, but just like oranges they are packed with nutrients and taste great. Traditionally people think of grapefruit as a breakfast food, but having a grapefruit in the afternoon or evening is a great way to give yourself a natural boost of energy when you need it without the artificial high of an energy drink or the c caffeine kick of a cup of coffee. Here are just a few of the ways that eating grapefruit everyday can help you get healthy and stay healthy:

Grapefruit protects your heart – Eating a grapefruit supplies your body with some of the minerals that it needs to maintain cardiovascular health. Vitamin C, Folic Acid and Potassium are all found in Florida grapefruit juice and all of those minerals help protect your heart. When added to daily exercise and a healthy diet Florida grapefruit can cut your risk of cardiovascular disease significantly.

Grapefruit helps your body repair itself – Grapefruits are rich in collagen, a substance that is known for helping to give people healthy skin. But collagen does more than revitalize skin. Your body uses collagen to help repair damaged muscles, stressed soft tissue, and even damaged cells. Without enough collagen your body cannot repair the daily damage that comes with an active lifestyle. Start eating just one grapefruit a day and you will notice your gums start to look healthier, your hair look shinier, and you will feel less muscle stiffness and pain because your body will be better able to recover from the stresses and strains of everyday living.

Grapefruit helps your body absorb other vitamins – One of the reasons why it is so important for people to eat a healthy diet is because certain vitamins and minerals are made to work in conjunction with other vitamins and minerals to give the body the nutrients it needs to function. The Vitamin C in grapefruits and grapefruit juice helps your body process other vitamins and minerals, like iron, which will help you stay healthy.

Grapefruit can fight cancer – Some studies have shown that one of the antioxidants in grapefruit called Lycopene can help the body fight off free radicals which damage the immune system and certain illnesses including cancer. You can lower your risk of contracting cancer by eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice at least once a day.
