Fruit juice also has benefits for health benefits

When it comes to natural health and functional food, the fruits of the passion, popularly known for its relaxing effect, offers more benefits than you think.

Vanessa Giglio, a functional and nourishing clinical nutritionist, listed five:

• soothing potential: “The fruit is rich in compounds such as flavonoids and alkaloids, which have a slightly sedative and anxiolytic action. Furthermore, some parts of the plant (such as the incarnated passiflora leaves) are traditionally used in herbal medicine such as natural calm,” he says.

• antioxidant action (rich in vitamin C and phenolic compounds);

• assistance in sleep regulation;

• improvement of intestinal functioning – thanks to the fibers;

• Contribution to cardiovascular health due to potassium and other micronutrients.

Is passion fruit juice good?

The fruit juice of the natural passion, made with fruit pulp, can bring health benefits, especially if consumed without sugar.

“However, there is a slight loss of nutrients sensitive to oxidation, such as vitamin C, during preparation and storage. However, juice is still a good source of bioactive compounds and its relaxing effect can be perceived, especially if consumed fresh”, says the expert.

However, avoid industrialized versions with sugar or preservatives, in these cases the benefits are reduced.
