According to a study by German scientists, eating grapefruit will be effective against gingivitis very effectively . According to research results, if a gingivitis patient eats about 2 grapefruit every day, within 2 weeks the disease will be significantly reduced, the bleeding situation in the root of teeth will no longer be serious. The reason, according to scientists, is that in grapefruit contains a lot of vitamin C, it works to heal fast wounds and minimize the harmful effects of some unstable free radical molecules.

The research and research process took place within 2 weeks with the participation of 58 chronic gingivitis patients but the results were completely reliable. Scientists say that the beneficial effects of eating grapefruit on smoking and non-smoking gingivitis patients are equal. Before participating in the study program, almost all patients had low plasma vitamin C levels, of which 29% was lower in smoking patients than non-smokers. . After 1 day of eating 2 grapefruit fruits, the amount of vitamin C has increased significantly, almost doubling in gingivitis patients.

The scientists said that the amount of vitamin C in each grapefruit is quite large, about 92.5 mg. Although our bodies cannot absorb a large amount of vitamin C in a short period of time, attention must be paid to the daily diet so that vitamin C is absorbed regularly. Especially after eating grapefruit, we should not brush your teeth immediately because it can easily damage tooth enamel.
