Durian is nutritious but people with these 4 diseases need to be careful

Durian is known as the 'king of fruits'. If eaten in moderation, durian offers many health benefits thanks to its high vitamin, mineral and high-quality fiber content.

Durian aids digestion, promotes excretion, nourishes the brain and strengthens the immune system. In addition, it also contains many antioxidants that help improve mood, sleep and stabilize blood pressure, according to the health news site MedPark Hospital.

Durian contains high fiber content, which helps stimulate intestinal motility. Rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids, carotenoids and polyphenols, this fruit slows down aging and reduces wrinkles. Beta-carotene in durian helps protect eyesight, preventing cataracts and corneal degeneration.

Durian also provides B vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, B6 and folate to help nourish the brain and reduce the risk of dementia. Calcium in durian helps strengthen bones and teeth. Potassium and unsaturated fats in durian help regulate blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

In addition, tryptophan in durian helps increase the production of melatonin and serotonin, thereby improving sleep, reducing anxiety and improving mood. Vitamin C in durian also supports brain function and protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Despite its many benefits, experts at MedPark Hospital (Thailand) recommend that people with the following diseases should be careful when eating durian.
