In today’s era of pursuing health and nature, an increasing number of people are starting to pay attention to the nutritional value of natural plants. And one particularly notable plant component is the Japanese yuzu. Let’s explore how this magical yuzugarden can protect our health!
𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭: Japanese yuzu peel is rich in various antioxidants, such as vitamin C and flavonoids. These components help neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, protect cells from damage, and contribute to slowing down the aging process. 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢-𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Studies have found that nutrients in yuzu peel significantly slow down weight gain, liver fat content, serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, and insulin resistance in experimental mice. It also reduces the secretion of adipokines, such as leptin and resistin, induced by a high-fat diet. 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫: In an animal experimental model, researchers studied the effects of yuzu peel extract on fatty liver. They found that treating with yuzu peel upregulated the expression of proteins associated with cholesterol metabolism while downregulating the expression of an enzyme required for cholesterol synthesis in the body. 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Yuzu extract has an inhibitory effect on platelets in experimental mice, and research suggests that the antiplatelet function of yuzu extract can also have a similar effect on human platelets. Yuzu extract affects the secretion of platelet granules and the formation of thromboxane B2. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Yuzu peel is rich in flavanones, a type of plant nutrient that has been shown in studies to improve forgetfulness. Additionally, naringenin, found in yuzu peel, has a protective effect against the toxicity caused by beta-amyloid protein (a hypothesis for the cause of Alzheimer’s disease). 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢-𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬: Compounds such as hesperidin, nobiletin, and tangeretin found in Japanese yuzu peel have been studied and found to have anti-tumor activity, interfering with the growth and spread of tumor cells. They have the potential to be used as adjuncts in cancer treatment.
