There are many durian varieties such as Musang King durian, black thorn durian, golden phoenix durian, etc. Durian flesh is sticky and juicy, soft and sweet, and tastes like ice-cream, but because durian will emit a unique and strong odor, the acceptance of durian flesh varies from person to person. The calories and nutritional value provided by durian are very high. Eating durian will give you a feeling of satiety. Because of its high carbohydrate and dietary fiber constituents, it can stimulate the secretion of digestive juice and gastrointestinal motility, which is very helpful to the digestive system and can avoid constipation, diarrhea, etc.
Durian is rich in vitamin C, which has antioxidant properties and can delay aging. There are also phytonutrients including vitamin B complex, which can protect the body's immune system. Eating durian can also fight anxiety and help sleep. The flesh contains vitamin B6 and tryptophan, both of which can increase serotonin and melatonin and help treat sleep disorders. In addition, durians contain calcium and potassium, which strengthen teeth and bones. It contains potassium, which relaxes blood vessels, increases heart rate, and controls inflammatory enzymes, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Durian can also help control blood sugar and blood pressure, because its flesh contains manganese, and its functions include the production of insulin, ensuring the operation of enzymes and gluconeogenesis.
