Grapefruit: A Natural Weapon Against Cancer and Stroke

10. Adding Grapefruit to Your Diet

You can opt to receive benefits from grapefruit by using essential oil aromatherapy or as a topical cream. However, to enjoy everything grapefruit has to offer, it's best consumed whole. The extra water and fiber content of fruit itself will help regulate digestion, keeping you fuller for longer and moderating the speed of food moving through your gut. Grapefruit can be tossed in a salad, eaten whole, or added to a smoothie. You could also use it to top warm cereal or yogurt.
