Dragon fruit reduces internal heat

Dragon fruit is just a small fruit, but many parents often buy it for their babies, especially very young children, who are often fed dragon fruit by their parents. First of all, the nutritional value of pitaya is very high, and pitaya itself has the effect of naturally removing heat. Therefore, pitaya can clear away heat and detoxify, relieve intestinal fire, promote bowel movements and moisten the intestines, and eliminate inflammation. It can be said to be very rich.

Can eating dragon fruit reduce internal heat?

Dragon fruit has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, relieving intestinal fire and promoting bowel movements. Eating pitaya can also promote eye health, increase bone density, help cell membrane formation, prevent anemia, resist neuritis, angular cheilitis, lower cholesterol, whiten skin and prevent dark spots.

Pitaya is rich in plant albumin, which is rare in general fruits and vegetables. Many people know that heavy metals (mainly lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and chromium) are harmful to health, and the lead content of children is often exceeded. The active albumin contained in pitaya will quickly wrap up heavy metal ions when it encounters them in the human body, preventing them from being absorbed by the intestines and excreting them out of the body through the excretion system, thereby playing a detoxifying role. Moreover, this albumin also has a protective effect on the stomach wall.

Dragon fruit is rich in vitamin C, which has a good effect of beautifying and whitening the skin. The water-soluble fiber content in the pulp is also very rich. This type of fiber absorbs water and expands 10-15 times, producing a gel-like substance that makes food stay in the stomach longer, allowing dieters to prolong their feeling of fullness without feeling hungry, and it has a good weight loss effect. The black seeds in the pitaya pulp contain various enzymes, unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, which help gastrointestinal motility, achieve a bowel-moistening effect, and have an auxiliary therapeutic effect on constipation.

In addition, the peel of pitaya contains a very precious nutrient - anthocyanin, which is a powerful antioxidant and immunity-enhancing substance that can remain active in human blood for 75 hours and has an antioxidant capacity that is more than 10 times stronger than carotene. It is transported throughout the body through the blood and plays the roles of anti-oxidation, anti-free radical, anti-aging, and inhibiting Alzheimer's disease. The peel of pitaya contains pesticides and is not recommended for consumption.
