This citrus fruit is a source of vitamin C, but the fruit also contains a substance that helps fight diabetes and high cholesterol.
This statement was made by nutritionist Natalia Denisova, reports AiF.
She explained that naringenin helps remove excess cholesterol and has anti-inflammatory properties.
But if you want to get the maximum benefit from such a product, then you should eat the whole fruit, including the white partitions, which contain a useful component - naringenin.
But before consuming it, it is important to remember that this fruit may interact with some medications.
Therefore, if a person is taking medication, it is better to consult a doctor before using it.
The fact is that the pulp contains a component called furanocoumarin, which reduces the effectiveness of some drugs.
