Boost immunity and reduce blood insomnia
According to a study led by Dr. Stephen Talcott of the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Florida, passion fruit has a sizable amount of antioxidants that support the body's immunity. Up until recently, the majority of people were unaware that the inclusion of vitamin C, carotene, and cryptoxanthin is what gives food its immune-strengthening properties.
One often overlooked compound in passion fruit is a medicinal alkaloid, Harman, which functions as a sedative. This compound of passion fruit has been connected – mostly in fold medicine with a reduction in restlessness, insomnia, and nervous anxiety, which can keep you from getting a good night’s sleep. So, instead of a glass of warm milk, next time try reaching for a slice of passion fruit and head back to your pillow!
