Dr. Wang Lei
Grapefruit peel aids digestion due to its volatile oils and natural aromatic compounds, which help eliminate greasiness, enhance flavor, and improve freshness. Additionally, grapefruit peel accelerates fat breakdown and metabolism. Furthermore, grapefruit peel benefits cardiovascular health: it contains naringin, a compound that protects blood vessels, enhances vascular permeability, and improves vascular elasticity.
