Sampalok (Tamarind)

Below is the list of health benefits that tamarind can give to your body:

–May Mitigate Liver Injury

The minerals found in tamarind – like copper, nickel, manganese, selenium, and iron – are involved in improving your body’s defense against oxidative stress. Selenium, along with vitamin E, protects the lipid content in liver cells from free radical attack.

–Can Help Exfoliate And Lighten Your Skin

The pulp of tamarind fruit has been used as a natural skin scrub since the olden days. It promotes smoother and lighter skin because of the presence of alpha-hydroxyl acids (AHAs). These AHAs, along with pectin and inverted sugar, hydrate and moisturize your skin.

–May Aid Weight Management

Obesity is linked to heart, liver, kidney, and several metabolic disorders. Tamarind pulp was found to lower the bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase the good cholesterol (HDL) content in plasma.

–May Relieve Stomach Ache And Constipation

Tamarind has traditionally been used as a laxative because it has high amounts of malic and tartaric acids. Tamarind also contains potassium bitartrate, which, along with other active ingredients, relieves constipation.

Constipation and diarrhea often cause abdominal pain. Tamarind bark and root extracts have been proven to be effective in curing stomach ache.

–May Help Manage Diabetes and Hyperglycemia

The seeds of this fruit can boost the neogenesis (production of new cells) of pancreatic beta cells. This may restore the ability to produce required amounts of insulin in patients with diabetes.
