Can someone please tell me the benefits of drinking grapefruit juice and weight loss?

Question

Chameleon,
I do work out everyday and I have cut back on my food intake. But someone told me that grapefruit juice can help, and I wanted to know what the benefits were. Don't group me in with people looking for a quick fix.

Answer 1

It is great for your digestive system. If you know what I mean. Just remember " Candy is dandy but fruit helps you poop. "

Answer 2

Grapefruit is an excellent source of vitamin C, a vitamin that helps to support the immune system. Vitamin C-rich foods like grapefruit may help reduce cold symptoms or severity of cold symptoms; over 20 scientific studies have suggested that vitamin C is a cold-fighter. Vitamin C also prevents the free radical damage that triggers the inflammatory cascade, and is therefore also associated with reduced severity of inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. As free radicals can oxidize cholesterol and lead to plaques that may rupture causing heart attacks or stroke, vitamin C is beneficial to promoting cardiovascular health. Owing to the multitude of vitamin C's health benefits, it is not surprising that research has shown that consumption of vegetables and fruits high in this nutrient is associated with a reduced risk of death from all causes including heart disease, stroke and cancer.

Answer 3

Grapefruit juice is, like any citrus juice, high in vitamin C. That's about it. It does NOT have any magic properties as far as weight loss, although there are a lot of gullible people out there who think it does.

Answer 4
