Dragon fruit has many potential health benefits, including:

It’s rich in #antioxidants like flavonoids, phenolic acid, and betacyanin. These natural substances protect your cells from damage by free radicals -- molecules that can lead to diseases like cancer and premature aging.

It’s naturally fat-free and high in fiber. It makes for a good #snack because it can help keep you full for longer between meals.

lowers your blood sugar. Researchers say this might be partly because it replaces damaged cells in your pancreas that make insulin, the hormone that helps your body break down sugar.

Contains #prebiotics, which are foods that feed the #healthy bacteria called #probiotics in your gut. Having more prebiotics in your system can improve the balance of good to bad bacteria in your intestines. Specifically, dragon fruit encourages the growth of the probiotics lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. In your gut, these and other helpful bacteria can kill disease-causing viruses and bacteria. They also help digest #food.

Strengthens your #immunesystem. #Dragonfruit is high in vitamin C and other antioxidants, which are good for your immune system.

boosts your iron levels. Iron is important for moving oxygen through your #body and giving you energy, and dragon fruit has iron. And the vitamin C in dragon fruit helps your body take in and use the iron.
