Dragonfruit also known as Pittaya (or Pitahaya) is a true tropical superfood.
It is growing in abundance in many tropical countries (also in Thailand where we are right now) and has its origins in South-East Asia.
As we are in the tropics again with our 4 kids, and we feast on this healthy super-fruit every day, I wanted to introduce it to you and tell you about the many health benefits as well as just simply showing you how you should open and eat this beautiful and delicious fruit.
Not only does it have many vitamins and minerals, dragon fruit is a true magical superfood.
It contains lots of Vitamin C, which is know to boost your immune system. In these cold days in the USA and Europe this is very helpful! (It also contains Vitamin B1 and B3.
It has almost zero cholesterol, fat and trans-fat so it is such a good food if you struggle with weight issues.
As it has a lot of plant fiber which helps prevent diarrhea and digestive issues, it is helping from two angles to aid your body.
It is giving you a saturated feeling, helping to feel full in a healthy way, not bulking up with too many calories, and on the same token healing and supporting your whole digestive system in a very healthy way!
Another very important fact is, that dragon fruit (or also called Pittaya) is rich in antioxidants, which are known to prevent cancer and bind free radicals.
It has antiviral and antifungal affects on the body, and helps to heal cuts and bruises much faster than normal.
So as you can see, the dragon fruit is a natural super-food for healing and cleaning on various different levels and just so beneficial for your health!
By the way: You also can get it in Europe and North-America, and I talk in this video about WHERE exactly that is…
Just watch this one and give us a “like” if you felt that this was good information!
Thanks so much and see you soon with another video from paradise!
Love and sunshine
