The Health Benefits of Mangosteen
The mangosteen fruit grows on a tropical evergreen tree that is native to the Sundra Islands an the Moluccas of Indonesia. The tree grows very high, 80 feet or more in certain areas. The purple fruit that is produced by this tree is edible, sometimes compared in taste to a tangy peach or apricot, and sometimes compared to a very sweet peach. The qualities of this fruit are legendary when it comes to healing and health benefits. The rind is sometimes tough to get through, but will soften as the fruit becomes ripe.
'Superfruits' are becoming more and more common each day. New fruits are being found in many countries and are now being cultivated in some of our states. Mangosteen's unique nutrients allow it to fall under the category of being a 'superfruit.' Although the nutritional value seems to below the FDA daily allowance, and it seems to be made up more of water than anything else, it does have some hidden attributes that make it a great choice for your health.
It is the perfect fruity snack for those who are trying to control or lose weight. But since more and more research has been done, it has been found that the Mangosteen contains 40 of the 200 Xanthones known to science, a number not equaled elsewhere in nature. Xanthones are super-antioxidants. This makes this fruit unquestionably a 'superfruit' since antioxidants are so important to keeping a healthy body.
Traveling all through our system, free radicals that can cause severe health problems are destroyed by these powerful Xanthones. This helps cleanse the body and prevents all kinds of health and disease problems. All of the Xanthones and other antioxidants contained in the Mangosteen help with inflammation, allergies, platelet problems and malfunctions, tumors and convulsive problems. Some of the Xanthones contained in this fruit include but are not limited to magostanol, gartanin, Garcinone's A, D, and C, beta-magostin, garcinone, gama-mangostin, and alpha-magostin.
However, take care when drinking the Mangosteen juice. There have been a few cases of acidosis reported by individuals who consumed too much of it. Drinking smaller quantities should solve this issue entirely though, since the acidosis only appeared when people drank rather large quantities of its juice.
Mangosteen is available in western countries in juice, frozen, and sometimes canned varieties. There has been a long-standing ban on importation of this fruit in it's whole form to the United States, but Canada has been importing mangosteen since 2007. Although the fruit is not easy to find here, farmers in Puerto Rico have started to send us a few mangosteen, especially to the more wealthy hotels and restaurants on the east coast. - 17273
