| Description Star fruit, which also goes by the name of carambola, is generally grown in regions with tropical climatic conditions. You can find this fruit grown in abundant quantities in countries, such as India, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Originally, this fruit is native to Malaysia and belongs to the Oxalidaceae family. When this fruit is cut horizontally, the shape resembles that of a star and hence the name "star" fruit (1). Health Benefits 1. Rich Source Of Vitamins B And C Star fruits are a rich source of vitamins B and C and gallic acid. These vitamins and minerals are essential for maintaining and improving your immune system. They also help in improving the health of your hair and protect your skin from UV damage (5). 2. Good Source Of Fiber Soluble fiber which is essential for the smooth functioning of your digestive system is found in the star fruit. In addition to soluble fiber, the star fruit also contains insoluble dietary fiber that prevents the absorption of LDL Cholesterol in the intestinal lining, thereby reducing the risk of heart issues and obesity (6). 3. Low In Calories And Sugar Star fruit is ideal for those who like to have a low calorie and low carb-based diet as it contains very low sugar levels. A medium star fruit that may weigh around 100 grams will contain a little over 6 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of sugar. (7) 4. Prevents Inflammation The high levels of antioxidants present in star fruit give it anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory skin disorders such as psoriasis and dermatitis (8). 5. Helps In Improving Digestion And Metabolism The presence of riboflavin and folic acid helps in regulating your metabolism (6). Star fruit is rich in dietary fiber, which aids in bulk formation and smooth bowel movement. It also has gut-friendly and anti-inflammatory properties and cleanses toxins and bacteria from the gut, helps in better nutrient absorption, and improves digestive health. 6. Detoxifies Your Body Star fruits have diuretic properties that help in expelling excess amounts of water and toxins from your body. This fruit helps in cleansing your liver and kidneys. However, studies have shown that people with pre-existing kidney conditions should avoid consuming star fruit as it causes renal issues (9). 7. Anti-ulcer Properties In traditional medicine such as Ayurveda, the extracts of the star fruit have been used in the treatment of stomach ulcers. Its extracts contain terpenoidsi , flavonoids, and mucilagei that help in treating ulcers (4). The cooling and anti-inflammatory properties of the star fruit are helpful in alleviating eyesores. Making a salve of the fruit and applying it to your eyes will do the trick (5). The presence of vitamin C, gallic acid, and epicatechini help in the treatment of mouth ulcers (10). 8. Improves Respiratory Health A prototypical study was conducted to ascertain the effectiveness of combining star fruit juice with honey on participants who had Chronic Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The study concluded this combination along with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents can alleviate COPD and help improve respiratory issues (11). 9. Improves Heart Health The star fruit has a whole host of nutrients that are beneficial for our health, especially potassium and sodium that are essential electrolytes that help in regulating blood pressure and cardiovascular health (12). 10. Improves Sleep If you are having trouble getting a good night's sleep, look no further than the star fruit as it contains magnesium, a mineral known to promote sleep. The magnesium present in the star fruit helps in activating the chemical Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that helps induce sleep (13). Star fruit also contains 91% water, which makes it a good and healthy option during hot and humid summers. |
