Grapefruit might be one of the most underrated members of the citrus family; it’s not sweet like the orange, or at the top of the ‘home remedy’ list like the lemon. But grapefruit boasts an incredible number of benefits, whether you are putting it inside your body or outside of it.
INSIDE:
Grapefruit is low in calories, but very high in nutrients! The high content of antioxidants and Vitamin C can help boost your immune system. The fiber in grapefruit helps you feel full faster, and may help with appetite control and weight loss. It may also help prevent insulin resistance and diabetes, and reduce the risk of kidney stones.
OUTSIDE:
Grapefruit has natural acids that exfoliate dead skin, keeping your pores clean and complexion bright. It also helps boost hydration with the help of a vitamin C derivative called magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. It helps decrease water loss, so your skin retains more moisture and looks more supple.
The anti-oxidants in grapefruit will fight free radicals in the skin that can cause lines, wrinkles, discolorations and other blemishes that can make you look older than you are. Grapefruit juice also has restorative properties that can help tone skin, even out skin color, and safely and gently cleanse skin.
