Grapefruit - Cleanses The Body And Protects Against Disease

The fruits of grapefruit have been known and valued for their beneficial effects on the human body since ancient healers. Even in the distant 310 BC. the Greek historian Theophrastus writes: "... and the fleshy part of these fruits is used as a medicine for poisoning ... and ... it also refreshes the oral cavity."


Modern naturopaths and natural medicine practitioners are aware that grapefruit is especially good for health. It is no coincidence that the Latin name of the grapefruit is Citrus Paradisi (Paradise Citrus) . Its use, for example, in food poisoning, intestinal disorders can help cleanse the intestines and alleviate the condition.


The substances contained in grapefruit juice have the ability to extract cholesterol deposits from the walls of blood vessels, to purify the liver, thus preventing atherosclerosis . Due to its rich organic and mineral composition, grapefruit is one of the most effective means of purifying the body . Many people have experienced the positive effects of weekly cleansing with grapefruit juice .


If we turn to the knowledge left to us by the ancient Eastern sages, we will notice how much attention they pay to the balance between the tastes of the food we eat. According to ancient Ayurveda, Tao and other Eastern teachings for good health, substances should be taken with a carefully selected balance between the five main tastes: both sweet and salty, sour, spicy and bitter tastes should be present in the food. According to Chinese doctors, each of these tastes stimulates a certain system of organs in the body. Salty, for example, is responsible for the kidneys, sour for the liver, bitter for the heart. The absence or predominance of any of the tastes leads to various diseases.


In our latitudes, foods with a sweet and salty taste predominate and there is a lack of those with a bitter taste., and it stimulates the cardiovascular system ... Is it possible to have a connection with too high mortality from cardiovascular diseases? (Unfortunately, Bulgarians are at the top of this black list.)
 

This question will wait for an answer in the future, but now we can say with certainty that the extract of grapefruit seeds and pulp (located on the Bulgarian market under the name Citrosept ) has all the positive qualities of the fruit, but multiplied a hundredfold. This has been confirmed by the numerous clinical and laboratory tests that have been conducted since the early 1980s to the present day to confirm the quality of the product.


Let's see how nature endowed grapefruit.Pluck a fruit, such as an apple, and bury it in fertile soil. Now begins the miracle of natural design for the cycle of rebirth. Not long after, millions of microorganisms can be found on the surface of the fruit - fungi, bacteria, other microorganisms. As a result of accidental contact or chemotaxis (movement of living organisms repelled or attracted by chemicals), microbes make every effort to penetrate the peel of the apple. In warm soil, they multiply by billions in just hours, and the apple itself contributes its share to increase nutrients in the soil.


Very soon the apple becomes practically unrecognizable, but the stubborn conquerors face a new obstacle: the small black seeds, containing all the information necessary for reproduction, put up a desperate resistance. They have not only a hard shell, but also another form of protection: powerful chemicals from the group of cyanides and strychnine, with which they once again repel the invaders. However, the microbes are relentless - sacrificing millions of their own kind in the fight, they eventually achieve their goal: the seeds soften, the repulsive substances are depleted, and the microbes arrange a final feast. The only exceptions are some of the seeds, healthy enough to survive: they will germinate!


Now repeat the grapefruit experiment.Events will unfold quite differently! From the beginning, the microbes will encounter much stronger resistance. Grapefruit peel is quite thick, and also contains strong active substances, such as lemon, linalool, citrate aldehyde. Microbes are forced to wait: time works for them. But what time is it? Weeks go by. Finally, due to dehydration, the bark begins to crack. The microbes rush forward, but only to be met by a powerful warhead of strong acids and biochemicals released from the flesh and membranes of the grapefruit. While the apple is delivered in a week or two, the grapefruit holds back the invasion of microorganisms for months. The number of microscopic organisms killed in the attack impresses the imagination. Eventually the microbes reach the seeds, and the end is near…But is that so?
