I’m writing today about fruit, my most favorite and precious food. It eat more fruit. It is the most basic “fast food”. Fruit demands virtually no preparation other than washing and perhaps peeling. Just tuck a piece of washed fruit in your bag in the morning then it’s ready any time that day. In the middle of your afternoon, head off the snack food and enjoy a delicious piece of fruit. Here are some reasons why fruit is so good for us:
Fruit comprises virtually no fat.
Most fruits contain mostly water, making them a natural, delicious and nutritious source of our daily water demands.
Fruit is the ultimate brain food. Research has determined that fruit improves memory and supports neuro activity in your brain.
Fruit has a lot dietary fiber, which is beneficial for digestion, the heart and as a cancer preventative. The total amount of dietary fiber we should eat everyday is equivalent to six servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
Fruit is superb for weight loss.
Fresh fruits accommodate a rainbow spectrum of phytonutrients, which furnish many health benefits.
Fruits are highly cleansing for the body. Every complete detoxification program incorporates fresh fruit or fruit juice. The lemon is particularly cleansing. One of the more popular body detox programs is the lemon detox. I do one 4 times every year and love it.
