Health benefits of soursop

Below, Ms. Jillian Kubala, a nutritionist in the US, shares some health benefits of soursop, according to the health site Health .

Soursop can support digestive health, helping prevent common diseases such as high blood pressure.

Rich in vitamin C

Soursop is a rich source of vitamin C. One cup (238 grams) of raw soursop provides 46.4 milligrams of vitamin C, more than half the recommended daily intake for adults.

According to many studies, vitamin C can reduce the risk of common diseases related to oxidative stress such as cancer, heart disease and neurological diseases.

Support digestion

Soursop is rich in fiber, which is important for the digestive system. 238 grams of raw soursop provides 7.42 grams of fiber, meeting 26.5% of the body's daily fiber needs.

This fruit contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber, which passes through the digestive system without being broken down, aids regular bowel movements by adding bulk to stools. Soluble fiber, on the other hand, draws water into stools, making them easier to pass.

According to studies, a diet high in fiber can protect against certain diseases such as digestive tract cancer, stomach cancer and colon cancer.

Helps regulate blood pressure

In one study, 143 people with high blood pressure drank 200 ml of soursop juice every day for 3 months. As a result, the participants' blood pressure decreased significantly.

Adding soursop products to your diet may help lower blood pressure and prevent the development of high blood pressure.

Soursop contains acetogenins, compounds that have anti-cancer properties. However, at high concentrations, acetogenins can be toxic. Long-term consumption of soursop can increase the risk of Parkinson's disease and worsen the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
