The changeable weather in spring can easily make us catch a cold, and loquats can help us effectively prevent colds. In addition, loquats have some other benefits and effects that are little known. Today, let's take a look at the nutritional value of loquats.
What are the benefits of eating loquats in spring
Cancer prevention
Loquats are rich in vitamins, and the vitamin B17 they contain has a good anti-cancer effect. It can remove free radicals from our bodies and inhibit the carcinogenic reaction of nitrites, thus achieving a good anti-cancer effect.
Cold prevention
The fruit and leaves of loquat have the effect of inhibiting influenza viruses, and regular consumption can prevent colds in all seasons.
Appetite stimulation
Loquats also contain a variety of organic acids. These organic acids can not only stimulate our stomach to secrete a large amount of gastric juice, but also, like plums, greatly increase our saliva secretion, thus achieving the purpose of strengthening the spleen, stimulating appetite, and promoting digestion.

Moistening the lungs and relieving cough
The amygdalin contained in loquats can effectively moisten the lungs, relieve coughs, and expel phlegm.
Eye protection
Loquats are also rich in vitamin A, which is an important nutrient for maintaining eye health. Lack of vitamin A can lead to eye diseases such as myopia, night blindness, and astigmatism. In severe cases, it can even cause retinal detachment. Therefore, eating loquats regularly can achieve a good eye-protecting effect.
