Description

Rich in nutrients and vitamins

Freeze-dried dragon fruit is rich in nutrients and low in calories, but contains plenty of essential vitamins (vitamins C, B1, B2 and B3: which help turn nutrients into energy) and minerals. It also contains a significant amount of fiber. In addition to essential nutrients, freeze-dried dragon fruit powder provides beneficial plant compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids, and betacyanins.

Freeze-dried dragon fruit contains several antioxidants

Antioxidants can help fight chronic diseases. They work by neutralizing free radicals, thereby preventing cell damage and inflammation. Studies show that diets high in antioxidants can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and arthritis . Dragon fruit contains several types of powerful antioxidants, including:

  • Vitamin C: Observational studies have found associations between vitamin C intake and cancer risk.
  • Betalains: Test tube studies show that betalains can fight oxidative stress and may have the ability to inhibit cancer cells.
  • Carotenoids: Beta-carotene and lycopene are plant pigments that give dragon fruit its vibrant color. Diets rich in carotenoids have been linked to a reduced risk of cancer and heart disease.

Importantly, antioxidants work best when eaten naturally in food, not as a pill or supplement.

Freeze-dried dragon fruit promotes a healthy gut

About 100 trillion different microorganisms live in your gut, including more than 400 species of bacteria . Many scientists believe that this community of microorganisms can affect your health. Both human and animal studies have linked imbalances in your gut to conditions like asthma and heart disease. Given that dragon fruit contains prebiotics, it can improve the balance of good bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics are a type of fiber that promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut. As with other fibers, your intestines cannot break them down on their own. However, the bacteria in your gut can digest them. They use this fiber as their breeding ground, and that’s how you benefit from it.

In particular, dragon fruit mainly promotes the growth of two families of healthy bacteria: lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. Regular consumption of prebiotics can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal infections and diarrhea. This is because prebiotics encourage the growth of good bacteria.

Dragon tree fruit strengthens your immune system

The vitamin C and carotenoids in dragon fruit can boost your immune system and prevent infection by protecting white blood cells from damage. Your immune system’s white blood cells attack and destroy harmful substances. However, they are extremely sensitive to free radical damage. As powerful antioxidants, vitamin C and carotenoids can neutralize free radicals and protect your white blood cells from damage.

Pitaya can increase low iron levels

It is one of the few fruits that contains iron. Iron plays a vital role in transporting oxygen throughout the body. It also plays an important role in breaking down food into energy. Unfortunately, many people do not get enough iron. In fact, an estimated 30% of the world’s population is iron deficient, making it one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the world. To combat low iron levels, it is important to consume a variety of iron-rich foods. Legumes, nuts, nettles, sea buckthorn and cereals are also rich sources of iron.
