LANZONES / LANGSAT

 

Lanzones or langsat (Lansium Domesticum) is an edible tropical fruit native to the Southeastern parts of Asia. Its high content of antioxidants, vitamins, and protein, alongside other minerals, gives it a host of health benefits and medicinal uses.

Health Benefits of Lanzones.

Rich in vitamin A.

Lanzones contain a substantial amount of Vitamin A, which is effective in maintaining good eye health as well as protecting the skin and mucous membranes.

Antioxidant properties.

As antioxidants help in protecting the cells in our body from free radicals, preventing  premature ageing, including lanzones as part of your fruit diet would help in improving your overall health.

For dental health.

Due to its high phosphorus content, it may assist in strengthening and whitening your teeth, also minimizing the chances of a toothache.

High in fibre.

One hundred grams of this fruit contain about 2.3 grams of dietary fibre which is sufficient in meeting 8 to 11% and 6 to 8% of the daily fibre intake of adult women and men respectively. Thus, lanzones is one of the food varieties that can be eaten to regulate bowel movements. It may also have a positive impact on your weight as it is low in fat. Moreover, eating fibre-rich foods gives you a sense of fullness for a longer time; lessening your appetite.

For diabetes.

This fruit is considered to be a healthy snack for people with diabetes as its high fibre content, along with the presence of the antioxidant polyphenol, aids in improving glucose levels by slowing down the absorption of sugar.

Manages cholesterol.

Lanzones have a significant proportion of Niacin (Vitamin B3), which, similar to the fibre present in it, is useful in increasing good cholesterol that goes on to eliminate bad cholesterol from the blood, ensuring a good heart health.

Relieves migraine attacks.

As studies have revealed the positive impact of riboflavin (Vitamin B2) in minimizing and combating a migraine attack, this fruit (containing a considerable amount of this vitamin) may be included in the list of foods migraine sufferers can add to their diet to reduce the chances of an attack.
