The benefits of PETAI
Depression:
Petai contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts
into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make
you feel happier.
PMS (premenstrual syndrome):
Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates
blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia:
High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in
the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low
in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure.
Brain Power:
Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist
brain alertness
Constipation:
High in fiber, including petai in the diet can help restore normal
bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a petai
milk shake, sweetened with honey. The petai calms the stomach and, with the
help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk
soothes and rehydrates your system.
Heartburn:
Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer
from heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness:
Snacking on petai between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels
up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the
affected area with the inside of the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly
successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves:
Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Ulcers:
Petai is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders
because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can
be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes
over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control :
Many other cultures see petai as a "cooling" fruit that
can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers.
Smoking:
Petai can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12
they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the
body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat,
sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are
stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.
These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium petai snack.
