The Peruvian Amazon has given us one of its richest and most nutritious fruits: Aguaje, a bittersweet fruit of great nutritional value, because it provides a large amount of vitamins and minerals, then these natural compounds are beneficial not only for health but to enhance the feminine beauty.
The Aguaje is one of the most abundant palm trees in South America. In Peru it is grown in Loreto, Ucayali, Huánuco and San Martín, and it is estimated that there are more than 12 million hectares of Aguaje, of which more than two million are in Pacaya Samiria. Aguaje has been used since ancient times to improve the health of the amazonian community.
Amazing Health Benefits for Women
Aguaje has a high content of vitamin A (beta-carotene), even higher than that of carrots and spinach. It has antibiotic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory functions, in addition to helping eye health and maintaining healthy skin.
This Amazonian fruit also contains a high presence of vitamin C, which helps in the absorption of iron and calcium.
What are Phyto- Estrogens?
Aguaje contains phyto-estrogens (vegetable compounds), which according to studies have beneficial effects on the feminine body, like regulating hormones, reducing annoying symptoms of menopause and increasing body mass.
The consumption of phytoestrogens also decreases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, affecting the heart and blood vessels.
Different studies have shown that women who consume foods rich in this compound have a later menopause and fewer hormonal disorders.
