If you're looking for the health benefits of delicious tropical grapefruits, it won't take long to find them. They're rich in vitamin C, which fights infection, bolsters the immune system, reduces inflammation, and has the ability to prevent asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. in addition, grapefruits contain lots of fiber and potassium, as well as folate, thiamin, vitamin B6, and calcium.

​

Pink grapefruits contain lycopene, a hard-working carotenoid that lowers triglycerides, fights free radical damage, and protects the skin from UV rays.

​

Among many other benefits, lesser known phytonutrients like limonin, pectin, and naringinen can suppress cancerous tumors, lower cholesterol, repair DNA in prostate cancer cells, and prevent colon cancer.

​

With all these health benefits, don't just eat grapefruit for breakfast. Try experimenting. A fun way to enjoy grapefruit is to chop and add it to cooked shrimp and avocados with a splash of extra-virgin olive oil. Paridisi!
