JERUK DAN MANFAATNYA

BUAH bulat berwarna kuning keemasan dengan rasa manis dan masam yang menyegarkan. Ya, itulah jeruk. Buah yang tumbuh di iklim tropis dan semitropis ini ternyata memiliki banyak manfaat bagi kesehatan dan kecantikan. Berikut di antaranya.

Meningkatkan metabolisme

Rutin mengkonsumsi buah jeruk dapat membantu Anda menurunkan berat badan. Sebuah studi Nutrisi dan Metabolik yang dilaksanakan oleh Pusat Penelitian di Scripps Clinic di La Jolla, California, menemukan bahwa mereka yang makan setengah butir buah jeruk sebelum makan selama 12 minggu berhasil menurunkan berat badan hingga 6 kilogram.

"Senyawa dalam buah jeruk membantu pembakaran lemak dan menstabilkan gula darah serta tingkat insulin tubuh," kata Christine Gerbstadt MD, penulis buku Doctor’s Detox Diet. 

Menghaluskan kulit kasar 
Jeruk juga dapat menghilangkan bercak-bercak hitam pada lutut dan siku. "Jeruk sarat akan vitamin C, asam ringan yang membantu memudarkan bercak hitam pada kulit dengan mengurangi kelebihan produksi pigmen kulit," kata Jessica Wu MD, dermatolog di Los Angeles.

Untuk mendapat khasiatnya, potong satu setengah buah jeruk, peras, lalu campur dengan satu sendok teh gula sebagai exfoliant, kemudian oleskan pada kulit Anda. 

Melindungi jantung

Menikmati satu butir buah jeruk sehari dapat membantu menurunkan kadar kolesterol "jahat" LDL sebesar 15,5% dan trigliserida sebanyak 27%. Demikian dilaporkan dalam Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Varietas jeruk dengan daging buah berwarna lebih tua, ternyata memiliki tingkat antioksidan yang lebih tinggi. Namun, jeruk dapat meningkatkan potensi dari sejumlah obat. Karenanya, dosis tinggi konsumsi jeruk sebaiknya dihindari saat Anda tengah dalam masa penyembuhan.

RasulullAh saw melihat ada serombongan pedagang yang beliau tidak kenal. Lalu beliau mengikuti para pedagang itu kemana saja perginya. Kurang lebih perjalanan para Pedagang itu sudah sehari semalam barulah berhenti. Lalu Beliau menyampaikan hajatnya bahwa saya mengikuti kalian karena ingin menyampaikan pentingnya iman dan beramal sholeh dalam kehidupan. Setelah beliau sampaikan da'wahnya beliaupun kembali ke Rumahnya dengan jarak perjalanan yang sama kurang lebih 24 jam. Coba kita pikirkan dengan seksama demi da'wah beliau rela mengikuti rombongan pedagang tersebut. Allahu 'a'lam.
