6 surprising benefits of Lychee fruit for skin, hair and health

LAHORE- The blazing summers bring along a variety of juicy and water-based fruits that are enough to tantalize our taste buds.'Lychees' are the juiciest fruit, full of vitamins and taste. They may be small in size, but as they say, ‘big surprises come in small packages’.

There are numerous beauty and health benefits of lychee, from aiding weight loss and digestion to treating influenza and reducing the signs of aging.



Let's go through 6 amazing benefits of this tasty fruit:

1# Aids in Digestion: The significant amount of dietary fiber in lychee, as in most fruits and vegetables, helps add bulk to your stool and increases your digestive health. This helps bowel movements move through the digestive tract smoothly, and fiber also stimulates peristaltic motion of the smooth small intestine muscles and improves health.

2# Controls Blood Pressure: Lychee has a wealth of potassium, meaning that it can help your body maintain a fluid balance; it is also low in sodium, which helps too. Fluid balance is an integral part not only of metabolic functions but also in hypertension. Potassium is considered to be a vasodilator, meaning that it reduces the constriction of blood vessels and arteries.

3# Anti-influenza: This powerful phenolic compound found in lychee has been connected to a number of important health benefits, including anti-influenza activity, an improvement in blood circulation, reduction in weight, and the protection of your skin from harmful UV rays when exposed to the sun.

It also demonstrates considerable antioxidant capabilities, just like ascorbic acid, and other proanthocyanidins in lychee.

4# Prevents Cancer: The polyphenolic compounds and proanthocyanidins found in lychee are actually even more powerful than vitamin C in neutralizing free radicals and protecting the body from various diseases and afflictions.

Lychee is a rich source of these organic compounds, so it can be consumed as an effective preventative measure of various cancers.

5# Help Remove Blemishes: Blemishes are the bane of anyone who seeks flawless skin. Applying litchi juice can help fade away the blemishes and marks, leaving you with clear skin.

6# Reduces Sunburn: Spending too much time in the sun can cause redness and blisters. Sunburns can cause pain and irritation, and applying litchi infused with vitamin E can help soothe your inflamed skin.
