HEALTH BENEFITS OF SOURSOP
HEALTH
BENEFITS OF SOURSOP
Soursop, the green fruit with the sweet, white
pulp is not only known as a delicious fruit staple in the tropics, but as
having health and medicinal benefits too. Native to South America and
sub-Saharan parts of Africa, soursop is also cultivated throughout Southeast
Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia and many parts of the Caribbean. It tends to
flower and fruit on a continual basis.
The soursop’s heart-shaped, spiky exterior is
not appealing in the least, but as they say, don’t judge a book by its cover,
for this exotic fruit’s creamy white pulp is sweet and delicious and its health
benefits ample.
While many people prefer to enjoy its sweet
taste in a drink or in a creative dessert recipe such as cheesecake or ice
cream, this sugary treat also have plenty of natural health benefits when eaten
regularly. Some people even believe that soursop may be an effective treatment
for cancer; however, there is no scientific evidence to back up those claims.

studies how powerful soursop is. Besides, it is delicious to eat.
Soursop has to be planted. Since it is only a

matures. Soursop is both natural and delicious. It has no side effects and it
is an effective fruit that can do the job of synthetic medicines. Soursop can
fight various diseases, but the ability to destroy the cancer is believed to be
the most important reason why it should be given attention.
Soursop is not exclusive for cancer; it is also
preferable in many bacterial and fungal infections, even with internal parasites and worms. Apart from these, it
also lowers blood
pressure and also
effective against depression, stress and nervous disorders.
According to research, it is proven that the
extract of soursop is effective in destroying the cancer safely and effectively
with an all-natural therapy without causing nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite, hair loss and weight loss. It never damages your immune system and pulls
you into deadly infections. A person can remain strong and healthy even during periods of
treatment.
The compounds available in this tree have proven
to be 10,000 times better in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a known chemotherapeutic
drug. This is according to some studies which were carried out. Moreover, it
does not suggest depending solely on natural treatment. It would still be best
to consult a doctor to monitor one’s condition.
