Durian Nutrition: Health Benefits You Must Know About

Singapore, more gloriously known as the "Lion City" or the "Garden City", is renowned for its ability to give tourists an expeditious glimpse into Asian Cuisine and culture. Their favoured food dishes derive inspiration from various parts of Asia, brought to them by the immigrant community. Several indigenous fruits and vegetables make an interesting taste palette you can’t miss. One such exquisite Singaporean tropical fruit is MS Durian. Some people love it others consider it an acquired taste. 


The Durian Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.12% between 2022 and 2027. The global durian market is estimated at US $ 17.6 billion, expected to increase by US $ 9,891.81 million.

Several factors have led to the growth of the durian market. Rising health awareness and increasing adoption of veganism can be considered essential factors leading to the expansion of the Durian market.

 

The south-east Asian "King of Fruits" receives a mixed reaction from consumers. Some find the exotic fruit a unique delicacy others find its odour too strong for their taste. Despite a divided opinion, MS durian has several health benefits you must know about.

 

Here are some of the essential health benefits of durian consumption:

·        Anti-depressant: We all know about the happy hormone—serotonin. Tryptophan, an amino acid, is the predecessor of the serotonin hormone. Durian boosts the Tryptophan production and breakdown in the body to produce hormones which regulate mood. It is known to have a similar feeling in the brain one experiences after eating chocolate. Wouldn't you love substituting your chocolate cravings with a healthier version with the same benefits?

·        Cure for insomnia: Melatonin hormone regulates our sleep-wake cycle and maintains a circadian rhythm in the body. Durian consumption can help boost the production of melatonin in the body.

·        Improves bowel movement: Constipation is a common problem caused due to several reasons. Lack of adequate roughage in diet with essential fibres and proteins that help regulate bowel movement can be a potent cause of constipation. Durian has a rich content of fibre and other essential vitamins, such as B1 and B12, that aid in proper nutrient absorption and helps in maintaining a healthy bowel movement.

·        Regulates blood pressure: Osmoregulation and fluid balance are two essential factors regulating blood pressure. Adults are prone to hypertension due to stress, metabolic disorders or other related health issues. Durian helps in maintaining the osmotic pressure in the body and also helps in fluid expulsion from the body. It helps in the vasodilation of arteries and reduces stress in the arterial walls. It also reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

·        Boosts immunity: MS durians are a rich vitamin C and antioxidant source. Vitamin C boosts the immune system to fight against harmful bacteria and provide protection against diseases. It also helps rejuvenate the body and gives you clear and glowing skin.
