Health Benefits of Calamansi Juice
By Madhusudhan Tammisetti
Calamansi juice is made from the fruit of calamansi, a citrus fruit that's also called golden lime. The scientific name for calamansi is Citrofortunella macrocarpa and is also called the Philippine lime or calamondin. It's a cross between a kumquat and an orange from the citrus family and is commonly grown in Southeast Asian countries, notably in the Philippines. Antioxidants such as potassium, limonene, calcium, and Vitamin A are abundant in calamansi fruit. It's also a good source of Vitamin C. Despite the fact that this fruit's juice tastes sour, a lot of people drink it on a daily basis since it's said to offer several health benefits.
Calamansi juice may soothe acidity, stimulate growth, help in losing weight, bleach the skin, cleanse the body, decrease cholesterol, control diabetes, and offer relief to people with respiratory infections.
May Control Diabetes
Following the discovery of the isoflavone naringenin in calamansi juice, further research was conducted on the blood sugar-moderating benefits of the fruit. The findings showed that managing the release of glucose and insulin into the circulation may be improved, which is great news for those who have diabetes or are at risk of getting it.
Promote Production of Collagen
Vitamin C is needed to create collagen, which is required for the formation of all bodily tissues. Calamansi juice, which is high in this vitamin, may provide ascorbic acid burst, which may help the body develop and repair damage caused by accident, sickness, or surgery.
May Help With Weight Loss
Like many lemon and lime-based drinks, the calamansi juice is renowned as a traditional remedy for its weight loss properties. It may increase a person's metabolism and remove many toxins that lead to fat buildup in the body.
This drink may increase passive fat-burning during the day by improving metabolic speed, assisting in calorie burn, helping all organ systems work smoothly and operate effectively, and cleansing the body. Many people drink calamansi juice every morning to boost their metabolism and help them lose weight.
Control Cholesterol Levels
According to some studies, calamansi juice may help decrease cholesterol levels, which is a crucial step in losing weight and avoiding metabolic syndrome. It may also lower the chances of getting atherosclerosis, having a heart attack, or having a stroke. Furthermore, calamansi peel ethanolic extract has antioxidant and antiangiogenic properties.
May Provide Relief from Acidity
Despite the fruit's strong citric acid content, many people consume it as a stomach-soothing drink. The anti-inflammatory properties of tannins from the rind of calamansi were discovered in research published in the Journal of International Oral Health. When consumed in moderation, it may help decrease inflammation levels. It may help protect you from acid reflux disease by lowering the chance of getting ulcers.
