A Citrus Fruit That Supports Immunity and Heart Health

Pomelo is a large citrus fruit packed with vitamin C, fibre, water and natural antioxidants that support overall health. Its high vitamin C content helps strengthen the immune system, supports healthy skin and assists the body in repairing tissue, while its fibre can help digestion, improve fullness and support healthy cholesterol levels when eaten as part of a balanced diet. Pomelo also contains potassium, which plays a role in blood-pressure control and heart function. Because it is naturally refreshing and lower in calories, it makes a healthy snack or breakfast fruit. However, like grapefruit, pomelo may interact with some medications, especially certain cholesterol, blood-pressure and heart medicines, so people on chronic medication should check with a healthcare professional before eating it regularly.
