If you are like me, I had never heard of this fruit called Durian.  Just look at it!  Does it scream eat me?  Actually, it smells even worse than it looks but what is inside is absolutely delectable!  Plus, the nutritional benefits will blow you away.

In southeast Asia, this fruit is known as the King of fruits.  This spiny fruit has been around for over 600 years. The creamy, edible pulp is described as tasting like custard.  But you have to get past the smell to enjoy it. 

So what does this treasured fruit have to offer for your health? It contains phytonutrients that provide immune system support, blood detoxification, powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. What does this mean for you? This helps with free radical damage that we are exposed to on a daily basis that can cause disease and/or cancer. 

Plus it has essential amino acids at a high level that is critical in the metabolic process.  Tryptophan is part of these amino acids which helps the Serotonin levels – our body’s emotions.  Serotonin is converted to  Melatonin which promotes sleep and can aid in managing anxiety. 

In addition, the Durian has minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper and manganese.  Its vitamins include thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, Vitamin A, Vitamin B5 and B6, Vitamin C, Folic Acid and retinol.  Sound too good to be true?  Here is a natural fruit from Mother Nature herself that has so many benefits including boosting metabolism for weight loss, providing natural energy, and a good source of raw fats.  This is the best way to get any kind of vitamins and minerals is through natural sources versus chemically made.  While obtaining this fruit might be a little hard, you can get it through a powerful blend of all the fruits that have been blogged about in a tasty, nutritional beverage supplement. Two 2 ounce doses will give you more than what you normally consume in fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.  Here’s to your health!
