Health Benefits of POMELO

HEART HEALTH
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.

FIGHT INFECTION
Pomelo is full of antioxidants that 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.

Pomelo can also help to fight urinary tract infection. Vitamin C in Pomelo increases the acid level in urine, inhibiting the development of bacteria in the urinary tract.

GREAT FOR SKIN
Vitamin A in Pomelo thickens the dermis and improves blood flow to the surface of the skin to reduce wrinkles.

Pomelo repairs the cellular structure of your skin to optimize UV protection and fight against sun damage. The enzyme found in Pomelo aids in recovery of the skin to help repair damage too!

Pomelo is rich in antioxidants, which helps to slow the rate of free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage collagen and cause skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles. Thus, consumption of Pomelo can help reverse the signs of ageing.
