This image up👆 is called Bitter Kola. It's scientific name is called Garcinia Kola. It is gotten from a tropical flowering plant found in western and Central Africa and it produces brown, nut like seeds that you see up there.


I came to know about this bitter Kola from my parents. While I was growing up, I used to see my parents eating this bitter Kola from time to time and I asked and they told me it was bitter Kola. One day I tried eating it too and it was really bitter and I asked them why they were eating something this bitter and they told me because it had health benefits.



One of the health benefits they told me it had was that it helped to normalize blood sugar level in the human body. So thoses who are suffering from diabetes for example or know anyone who is diabetic, bitter Kola is good for them. My little understanding about diabetes is that blood sugar is higher than normal in the body and so taking bitter Kola can help normalize the blood sugar.



A friend of mine who also knows about the health benefits of bitter Kola, told me that it is also tremendously improves a man's sexual performance. But don't ask me further question about this one, I don't know. Hehehe!! But you can Google bitter Kola to know more about it and it's health benefits if you want.



All I have to say it that sometimes some good things come in a bitter form.



Have a good one. @yaanivapeji.

Although the taste of Bitter Kola isn't what most people would like but it benefits to the body are so immense. I don't know much but I am aware it helps to cure cold, fever and arthritis. It is also very good for boosting immunity and prevention of cancerous substances. Great post!

Yeah it's health benefits is really immense, that is why I will love people who don't know about it to do a research on it and diverse health benefits.

Thanks for your contribution @sammie85.
