Pomelo is a large, citrus fruit, considered as an ancient ancestor of the grapefruit. Pomelo is grown in many Eastern countries, which include China, Japan, Thailand, Fiji and Malaysia. In Chinese culture, Pomelo is a sign of prosperity and good fortune. Pomelo is sweeter and milder in taste than grapefruit. It has a thick, green rind with pink, white or yellow flesh.
# Increased consumption of Pomelo can help to fight urinary tract infection; a painful bacterial infection of the urinary system. Vitamin C in Pomelo increases the acid level in urine, inhibiting the development of bacteria in the urinary tract.
# Pomelo contains high levels of potassium, a mineral required for proper functioning of the heart. Potassium regulates blood pressure level and reduces bad cholesterol in the body. Pomelo juice also helps to clear arterial deposits in the body, thereby reducing the risk of stroke and heart attack.
# Consuming a serving of Pomelo daily can prevent free radicals from attacking the body. It stimulates the antibodies and immune cells to guard the body from bacteria that cause cold, flu, asthma and allergies.
# The skin of the Pomelo fruit is rich in bioflavonoids, an antioxidant that prevents intestinal, pancreatic and breast cancer. It eliminates excess estrogen from the body, preventing the cancer from spreading. It also contains high amounts of fiber, which protects the body from colon cancer.
