Description
Gac fruit – full of antioxidants:
You’ve probably never heard the word “Gac” before. It’s a
strange word, isn’t it? Sounds a bit icky!! But
regardless, it’s the name of a fruit you should take note of.
Gac fruit is full of antioxidants.
The Gac Fruit is scientifically known as Momordica cochinchinensis.
This beautiful, but strange looking bright red fruit with its soft
spines sticking up all over is originally from Vietnam, but is now
cultivated throughout China and Southeast Asia.
It is also known as Chinese bitter cucumber, cundeamor and bhat
karela. It’s not the scary spiney bit that’s eaten, but
rather the soft squidgy intestine-like deep red inside. Most
powerful antioxidant
Why is it a fruit you should take note of? Well, it on one of
the best antioxidants around. It’s REALLY rich in
beta-carotene, lycopene and zeanthin – antioxidants. You may
recognise lycopene as the antioxidant found in tomatoes – making
them red, and really healthy. Well, gac fruit has *0 times
more lycopene than found in tomatoes. Gac fruit also contains
the highest concentration of beta carotene of any fruit or
vegetable – containing *0 times more than carrots. That’s why
it’s used to make the powerful gac fruit supplement – full of
antioxidants.
As a traditional medicine (because of the high content of
antioxidants) gac fruit is used to treat conditions of the eyes,
burns, skin problems and wounds. The juice of the fruit is consumed
as a health juice that is good for the eyes, immunity,
reproduction, skin, heart health, and the prostate.
Let’s look at some of the benefits of the gac fruit
antioxidants:
EYE HEATH – Zeanthin encourages eye health by
protecting the tissues of the eyes against exposure to ultraviolet
rays, and helps to reduce oxidation of eye tissue;
beta-carotene also contributes to eye health by reducing the risk
of blindness and helping to maintain good night vision.
IMMUNE SYSTEM – Beta-carotene enhances the
immune system by turning into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin
A helps in the healthy development of white blood cells, including
lymphocytes, which are important “foot soldiers” of the immune
system, allowing the body to fight against illness and disease.
REPRODUCTION – Beta-carotene enhances the
production of sperm. And vitamin A is also a key nutrient
playing an important role in healthy embryonic development.
SKIN – both lycopene and beta-carotene
contribute to better looking and healthier skin by reducing
oxidative damage in tissues. One way to understand this is to
think of oxidation as “rusting” and these two antioxidants prevent
it!
HEART HEALTH – the combination of anti-oxidants
prevents the hardening of the arteries (also known as
atherosclerosis). Both lycopene and beta-carotene protect the
body against the risk of heart attack.
PROSTATE HEALTH – lycopene is known to reduce
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) – in lay man’s terms –
enlargement of the prostate. Studies also show that lycopene
reduces the risk of prostate cancer.
