ANTI-AGING BENEFITS OF SALUYOT
ANTI-AGING BENEFITS OF SALUYOT
Jute leaves contain almost all of the nutrients needed by humans.
But, the most important benefit of the leaves is their high antioxidant
property, primarily in the form of Vitamin E. These antioxidants
combine with free radicals that cause problems like arthritis,
hardening of arteries, heart and kidney ailments. Among the many
benefits, saluyot contains:
• Vitamin A, which aids in repairing the body’s cells and
improves eyesight
• Vitamin C or ascorbic acid, which improves circulation and
helps lower the risk of cataracts and other eye disorders
• Vitamin E, which slows down the aches and pains associated
with aging, holds infertility at bay, and increases stamina
• A high percentage of calcium, which contributes to strong
teeth and bones.
