Durian, healing king of Fruits






*Durian is the Healing King of All Fruits** *

Durian is a little known fruit from Asia that has an extremely pungent
smell and an amazingly sweet taste. The smell of the durian fruit is so bad
that many hotels in the areas where durian grows will not allow their
guests to have the fruit in their rooms. But those who brave the smell are
quickly won over by its beautiful taste and amazing health benefits.
Unlike most fruits the durian is left to fall from the tree as this is a
sign that it is ripe to eat. People in the local villages of South East
Asia, where the durian is most common, call it "*The King of Fruits*," and
they will clear the floor under the trees near to harvest time and then
camp near them for up to two months just to make sure they get the fruit at
its peak. This is a truly exceptional and healing fruit.

 
*Health Benefits of Durian. *
Traditionally the durian fruit was seen as a powerful aphrodisiac, while
women would eat the ashes from burnt durian skins to help them recover
after child birth. But concoctions made from the leaves of the durian tree
were also used to help reduce swelling and cure skin disease. More recently
nutritionists have claimed that the durian fruit can help lower cholesterol
and cleanse the blood as well as cure jaundice and alleviate fevers.
Experts even say that you can rid yourself of yeast infections such as
thrush through eating the durian fruit. This is because of the durian's
high iron content that helps the white blood cells in our body make
specific chemicals that kill off the infection.

 
The durian is also packed with amino acids as well as Vitamins B, C and E
and many people are even comparing the sweet custard like centre of the
durian fruit to the goji berry for its high levels of anti oxidants. These
anti oxidants help slow down the destruction of cells from free radicals
such as pollution and smoking; in doing so, they decrease the effects of
aging on the skin giving you a younger more refreshed look.

Among the amino acids found inside the durian is tryptophan. Tryptophan
is essential for making and maintaining serotonin levels in the body.
Serotonin is the hormone in the body that regulates our happiness. People
with low serotonin levels tend to have short tempers, are often moody and
suffer from depression. This means that not only will eating the durian
fruit help keep your body running smoothly but it will also increase your
general happiness and wellbeing.
