Can you lose weight by eating carambola?
Yes, but it may not be very effective. Carambola can reduce the body's absorption of fat, reduce blood lipid and cholesterol, and prevent cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis. At the same time, it can protect liver and lower blood sugar. Carambola is rich in sugar, vitamin C and organic acids, and rich in fruit juice, which can quickly replenish human body's water, promote fluid production and quench thirst, so that heat or alcohol poisons in the body can be excreted with urine and fatigue can be eliminated. Carambola juice contains a lot of oxalic acid, citric acid and malic acid, which can improve the acidity of gastric juice and promote the digestion of food. Carambola contains a lot of volatile components, carotenoids, sugars, organic acids and vitamins B and C, which can eliminate throat inflammation and oral ulcers and prevent toothache caused by wind and fire.
