All About the Benefits of Mangosteen
When you think of a mangosteen, you might assume it's a mango. However, the two are really very different. Mangosteens are actually a tropical fruit that are found in tropical evergreen trees. The fruit is a deep purple and is roughly 3 inches in diameter.
The outer skin of the fruit can be as thick as one inch and is hard to the touch. Inside is a soft edible flesh that has a sweet and tangy taste. Yet in its entirety the fruit actually packs a powerful kick because of its richness in antioxidants.
This super fruit contains the compounds alpha-mangostin, beta-mangostin, garcinone B and garcinone E, all of which are known as xanthones (antioxidants).
Research studies have shown that Xanthones may have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and astringent properties, which could help fight diarrhea, bladder infections, irritable bowl syndrome and some skin rashes.
The fruit may also boost energy levels and help the immune system, help slow aging, help fight depression, help lower cholesterol, help fight heart disease, help lower blood pressure and blood sugars, help minimize bone loss, help lower the risk of arthritis, help protect against gum disease, help reduce nerve pain, and help fight Parkinson's disease.
Without those antioxidants our bodies cannot fight the free radicals that bounce around inside of us and destroy the cells that our bodies need in order to stay healthy and young!
Typically this antioxidant-rich fruit can be found in Hawaii and Canada, but they cannot be imported into the United States due to insects that could threaten other crops.
Of course if you live in Canada or Hawaii you are lucky enough to be able to enjoy the fruit in its natural state. However, for those of us who aren't as lucky, manufacturers are able to produce the super fruit into juices, smoothies and vitamins for consumption here in the United States.
So there's really no excuse for why you cannot enjoy the deliciousness of a mangosteen. Unless of course you just can't get beyond the thought of not being able to enjoy the fruit in its own environment. Hmm. Hawaii and mangosteens, now there's an excuse worth living a healthy lifestyle for!
