Kapanlagi.com - Mangosteen is one of the popular fruits in Indonesia. In recent years, this purple fruit has become increasingly popular due to its benefits. This fruit, which originates from Thailand, is so special because the benefits of mangosteen are not only found in the flesh of the fruit. According to several studies, mangosteen peel also has many health benefits.
The benefits of mangosteen for health are no longer in doubt. Mangosteen is claimed to be able to overcome various health problems. So it's not surprising that mangosteen extract is now widely sold in the form of packaged supplements. So what are the benefits of this fruit, scientifically known as Garcinia Mangostana?
Here are some reviews about the benefits of mangosteen for health.
Mangosteen is known as a fruit that is rich in antioxidants. The well-known antioxidant compound in mangosteen is xanthones. Xanthones are believed to be able to overcome oxidative stress and free radicals. Therefore, mangosteen can protect us from various diseases caused by free radicals, ranging from colds to cancer.
Interestingly, the highest amount of antioxidants in mangosteen is actually found in the skin. To obtain the benefits of antioxidant content in mangosteen skin, we can dry it and then boil it in water.
Still related to the xanthone antioxidant content, as we know antioxidants are very good for counteracting free radicals that trigger cancer cells. However, for cancer treatment, it is recommended to consume the skin part of the mangosteen. This is because, as mentioned earlier, the highest antioxidant content is found in this part.
Not only preventing the growth of cancer cells, xanthone antioxidant substances are also very potential to help the healing process of cancer. However, as medicine, the consumption of mangosteen, especially the skin part, must be done regularly.

In addition to the antioxidant content of xanthones, mangosteen also contains a lot of vitamin C. Combined with the vitamin C content, the xanthones in mangosteen can be beneficial in maintaining the immune system.
The benefits of mangosteen in maintaining the immune system are also supported by the ability of xanthones compounds to counteract free radicals. Meanwhile, vitamin C is also known to maintain the productivity of leukocytes or white blood cells, which play a role in maintaining the immune system.

Another benefit of mangosteen is related to heart health. This benefit is related to the fiber content in this sweet and refreshing fruit. The high fiber content in mangosteen is believed to increase good cholesterol (HDL) and reduce bad cholesterol (LDL).
As a result, heart health will be better maintained. In addition, the antioxidants in mangosteen also play a role in maintaining heart health. Thus, it can prevent various cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, stroke, and heart attacks.

In addition to preventing heart disease, mangosteen fruit has the ability to control blood sugar in the body. This is once again due to the fiber content in mangosteen. Apparently, the fiber in mangosteen not only functions to bind fat and facilitate digestion. The fiber in mangosteen is also believed to be able to bind excess sugar in the body.
Therefore, by consuming mangosteen fruit regularly in the right amount, it is believed to maintain our health and prevent the risk of diabetes.

Mangosteen fruit is also said to have a high calcium content. We all know that calcium is very good for maintaining bone density and preventing osteoporosis. In addition, consuming mangosteen fruit during childhood and adolescence is also believed to help maximize bone growth.
The process of removing toxins from the body, or what is called detoxification, turns out to be greatly assisted by consuming mangosteen. Besides neutralizing free radicals, the antioxidants in mangosteen also have the ability to bind toxins and harmful compounds that enter the body along with pollution. These toxins and harmful substances will later be excreted from the body through urine.
Another benefit of mangosteen is related to skin health. Mangosteen fruit is able to protect the skin from the radiation of sunlight, especially ultraviolet B. As reported by merdeka.com, a small study has been conducted regarding this matter. The experiment was carried out for 3 months. The study found that 100 mg of mangosteen extract per day can improve the elasticity of the skin.
