If the leaves itself provide such wonderful benefits, how about the fruit? Let’s dive in to know more about the soursop fruit.
“Soursop” is actually the name of a fruit that grows in the tropical region of the Americas and the Caribbean, as well as in Africa. It’s scientifically known as “Annona muricata” but locally called guanabana, paw-paw, sirsak, among other names. You might be surprised to learn that soursop is a part of the Annonaceae family – aka, the custard apple family. However, it tastes more like mango or pineapple than it does a traditional apple.
For generations now, soursop has been harvested to produce a variety of items, from cooking oils to soaps and herbal medicines. Ancient practices used it as a fertility drug, treatment for illness, insecticide, and much more.
Let’s talk about some of the biggest health benefits that modern drinkers can absorb by turning to soursop tea.
- Boost Your Immune Health
The first and arguably most sought-after benefit is soursop’s ability to build and improve immune systems. Its high level of vitamin C helps fight pathogens while protecting your skin from oxidization damage. Vitamin C isn’t the only antioxidant in soursop. The fruit also contains:
- Phytosterols, which can reduce blood cholesterol levels
- Tannins, which contains antimicrobial effects
- Flavonoids, which regulate cellular activity and fight free radicals
Many choose to drink soursop tea in an effort to ward off illness and defend their body against viruses and bacteria. You can drink soursop as a preventative measure or to help shorten sicknesses like the common cold.
- Fight Inflammation
Free radicals in your body don’t just cause illness but they can also lead to stress and inflammation. The antioxidant properties in soursop tea don’t just help with your immune health. They also help with chronic conditions caused by inflammation, such as:
- Asthma
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Alzheimer’ disease
- Arthritis
Even if you aren’t dealing with one of the conditions listed here, drinking soursop tea can relieve tensions and spasms caused by injury or exercising.
- Improve Digestive Health
The fiber in soursop (up to 7.4 grams per cup) has the potential to ease constipation. It also slows your digestion down and prevents you from craving sugary snacks by maintaining your blood sugar levels. In addition, soursop’s antiviral and anti-parasitic properties prevent intestinal worms and other parasites from infiltrating your GI tract. The fruit’s juice serves as a diuretic, which cleanses the gastrointestinal tract and removes excess sodium that often causes bloating.
- Stabilize Your Blood Pressure
Soursop contains high levels of potassium (up to 626 mg per cup), as well as a heaping quantity of iron. These ingredients work together to lower high blood pressure levels. Potassium promotes better blood circulation while iron helps regulate a normal heartbeat and tension.
