In the Pink

Pink Grapefruit is not just a beautiful sweet treat, it also has incredible healing powers. Grapefruits contain a rich phytonutrient called liminoids. These magical limonoids found in grapefruit have amazing stamina, studies show that they stay in our bodies up to 6 hours. That’s almost twice as long as similar phytonutrients found in green tea and chocolate. Bottom line, grapefruits contain some long lasting kickass free radical fighters.  The limonoids primarily work to inhibit tumor formation which in turn fights cancers of the mouth, skin, lung, breast, stomach and colon.  In a recent research study people who incorporated red grapefruit into their daily diet lowered LDL cholesterol by 15.5% and reduced triglycerides by 17.2% in just 30 days.  And if that weren’t enough, these red beauties may also help prevent weight gain by lowering insulin levels. Long live the Ruby’s! We like these kind of feisty fighters!
