Shortly after God removed the tree of life and the tree of wisdom, God decided to make a super fruit for man kind. A fruit where it contains –

• Increase Immunity
• Cure Anemia
• Improve Bone Health
• Improve Sleep quality
• Maintain Blood pressure
• Fight Free radicals
• Improves Digestion
• Slow the Aging effect
• Protect from cancer

After carefully stuffing all the 8 benefits into one fruit, God immediately realized that this fruit might just be too good and He simply couldn’t risk the entire Earth’s population forgo all the other available fruits on Earth and just eat this super fruit He has just made.

But God loves us. He loves us so much that He decided to keep this super fruit for us. God being God, came up with a plan. He would then make the meat of the fruit soft with different shades of yellow to orange when it ripens. Like all fruits it will have a shell with different compartments to store the meat in case part of the fruit goes bad, you will still be able to eat the other half. God was pleased with the super fruit he has just created. He decided that this fruit will now grow on trees, big tall trees with sturdy branches to hold the weight of the fruit.

Upon planting it, there was a problem. Tens of thousands of species on Earth flock towards this tree. Looks like God did make a fruit that is more desirable than any other. In an instant, the shell quickly hardens up with spikes starting to emerge from the hardened shell. The hardened shell and strong, sharp spikes are to ward off most of the animals. With the new design of the super fruit. God immediately implemented a system where by nature, this spiky fruit will not drop on anyone’s head. Since then, only a few selected animals who knew how great this super fruit is and would still try to eat it.

With abundance of health benefits stuff into one fruit. It is almost unavoidable that this fruit will be too heaty for man kind. God saw that this was a way of preventing humans over eating it and decided to keep it as it is. Another notable change was the strong unique smell that is now emitting from the meat of the fruit. Some say God did this to further prevent animals from eating it, others say God did it so only the wiser ones gets the benefit. Until today, it is still uncertain why the smell was there in the first place. A smell so powerful it could stay on your breath for hours after eating it.

On behalf of man kind, I thank you God for creating this fruit worthy to be the king of fruits!

Antioxidants are required to protect the body from oxidative stress. High oxidative stress is caused due to pollution and UV radiation. This process creates free radicals from oxygen molecules. This free radical destroys normal cell DNA and change the function of cells to form cancer cells. But antioxidants neutralize these free radicals and acts as a shield to protect cells from damage. So durian fruit protects from cancer.
