00:00Do you believe in the Himalaya?
00:07We call it the Miracle Fruits
00:10because it gives benefits to our health.
00:15When your body is healthy,
00:18it can be seen on your skin,
00:20it can be seen on your appearance.
00:22That's why we call it the Miracle Fruits.
00:26No one will bash,
00:28because according to many,
00:30the Miracle Fruit of Calabash
00:32can lower blood pressure
00:34and can cure diseases.
00:37When they started drinking this,
00:39their blood pressure improved
00:41and when they go to a blood camp,
00:43the result is okay.
00:45Is this a Himalaya
00:47or a gift of salvation for our health?
00:56Fruits are good all year round.
00:59It's not just the Himalaya
01:01because this fruit is also good for our health.
01:06That's why Lurie's family
01:08from Oriental Mindoro
01:10has been growing this for 5 years.
01:12It has a lot of health benefits.
01:14It can cure cancer.
01:17It's good for people with high cholesterol,
01:20people with high blood pressure,
01:22people with diabetes.
01:24It's also good for the kidneys
01:26and strengthens the immune system.
01:30The Miracle Fruit called Calabash
01:35is a fruit from the Bignaunia family
01:38that can be found in tropical countries.
01:42One time, we visited a farm here
01:44and we were amazed
01:46because there were so many fruits.
01:48We saw this tree
01:50and there were so many fruits and it was so big.
01:52When we asked what kind of tree it was,
01:55they said it was a Miracle Fruit.
01:57We bought that tree.
01:59It's better known as a bottle gourd.
02:03When it's cooked,
02:05it's boiled without salt.
02:07It can provide dietary fiber,
02:10vitamin C,
02:11and other minerals like calcium.
02:15Lurie boils it and drinks its juice.
02:20The taste of this Miracle Fruit Juice
02:23is sweet and bitter.
02:27Lurie believes that
02:29Calabash lowers her father's blood pressure.
02:33My parents drink it here
02:35because their cholesterol used to rise,
02:37their blood pressure used to rise.
02:40My parents drink it
02:42because their cholesterol used to rise,
02:44their blood pressure used to rise.
02:45When they started drinking it,
02:47their blood pressure used to rise.
02:50When it comes to blood pressure,
02:52the main culprit of high blood pressure
02:55is salt.
02:57That's why we advise our patients
03:01to avoid eating a lot of salt
03:05or salty food.
03:06It's only recommended salt.
03:08If we substitute those foods
03:11that are rich in salt
03:12with something like calabash
03:14that we cook or boil,
03:16it's more helpful
03:18because it reduces the amount of salt
03:20that we can intake in our body.
03:25Many believe that
03:27calabash is good for our gut health
03:29or digestion.
03:30Doc, is it true?
03:33It has dietary fiber.
03:35It's more helpful.
03:37Fiber actually helps in digesting.
03:40We digest our food better
03:43so we get the most of what we eat.
03:46Fruits and vegetables such as calabash
03:48are digested better
03:50and we get more nutrition
03:52from our food
03:54if it has fiber.
03:58But that's not all.
04:00Some people use skin care
04:03because it has anti-aging properties.
04:06Doc, is it true?
04:08The traces of vitamin C
04:10that we can see in calabash,
04:11vitamin C,
04:13some of them are antioxidants.
04:15Antioxidants actually help
04:18in terms of delaying
04:22process of aging
04:24and can actually show,
04:26can give us fairer skin.
04:29Fruits and vegetables are not just food
04:32on the table.
04:33Some of them have health benefits.
04:36Just remember,
04:37no matter what you try,
04:38make sure that it's safe and healthy
04:40to consult a doctor.
04:53There are a lot of fruits and vegetables
04:55that we can eat.
