Health benefits of Loquat fruit

• Delicious, loquats are very low in calories; provide just 47 cal per 100 g, however, rich in insoluble dietary fiber, pectin. Pectin retains moisture in the colon and thus functions as bulk laxative and by this way, it helps to protect the colon mucous membrane by decreasing exposure time to toxic substances as well as binding to cancer causing chemicals in the colon.


• Pectin has also been shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels by decreasing its re-absorption in the colon by binding bile acids resulting in its excretion from the body.


• Loquat fruit is an excellent source of vitamin-A (provides about 1528 IU per 100g), and phenolic flvonoid antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid, neo-chlorogenic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, feruloylquinic acid, protocatechuic acid, epicatechin, coumaric acids and ferulic acid. Ripen fruits have more chlorogenic acid concentrations.


• Vitamin A maintains integrity of mucus membranes and skin. Lab studies have shown that consumption of natural fruits rich in vitamin-A and flavonoids helps to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.


• Fresh fruit is very rich in potassium and some B-complex vitamins such as folates, vitamin B-6 and niacin and contain small amounts of vitamin-C. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids, helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure.


• It is also a good source of iron, copper, calcium, manganese, and other minerals. Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Copper is required in the production of red blood cells. Iron is required for as a cofactor in cellular oxidation as well for red blood cell formation.

I work night shift and come home at 4-5am some nights. My roommate works during the day and comes home around 5pm. I leave for work at 6pm. So the issue here is it is cold as fuck where I live. I understand high gas bills suck and I truly wanted to help the situation. I keep it turned to 63 when I am busy in the apartment or out during the day. I don’t know what she keeps the heat on when I am gone, but I assume it is close to 70. Now when she goes to bed, she turns it down to 63. I get home 6 hours or more later to a freezing apartment and bedroom. She is warm in bed and I am about to undress and shower and go to bed. All of these thing…suck…to…do…at…fucking 5 AM!!! So I naturally turn it to 70 and fall aslee, Just to wake up to a text to not turn it up at night, she woke up sweating, had to turn it down, i have a man (who i see for a cpl hours on his way to work) and a down comforter (which does nothing when your hair is wet and your bed is freezing). Ok…I will not turn it up anymore when you are sleeping which is very inconvenient for me. From now on I will turn it up while awake and turn it down when I go to bed. And she wonders why I am moving out in 3 months…
