I’m starting to think the grapefruit should be renamed “the wonder fruit.” Aside from being delicious and refreshing, it’s chock-full of health benefits. Grapefruit is low in calories, high in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, folic acid and flavonoids. It also has anticancer and cholesterol lowering effects. Grapefruit helps normalize hematocrit levels (the percentage of red blood cells per volume of blood), and promote the elimination of old red blood cells. As if that wasn’t enough, it is also rumored to increase the fat burning potential of coffee when consumed prior to that first cup.
I’ll drink to that!
