Why You Should Eat Lots of Fruit!
Fruit is the original “fast food”. It requires no preparation aside from washing and perhaps peeling. You can stash one in your bag in the morning then it’s ready any time during the day. In the middle of your afternoon, stave off the snack bar and enjoy a piece of fresh fruit. I’ve gathered a few reasons why fruit is beneficial for us:
Fresh fruit comprises 0% cholesterol and 0% bad fat.
Fresh fruits contain a lot of water, making them a natural source of your daily water needs.
Fruit is a top rate brain food. Researchers have learned that fruit perks up memory and stimulates neuro activity in your brain.
Fruit contains dietary fiber, which is good for digestion, the heart and as a cancer preventative. The recommended amount of dietary fiber we should eat each day is equal to six servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
Fruit is superb for weight loss.
Fresh fruits are packed with a rainbow of phytonutrients, which provide many health benefits.
Fresh fruits are cleansing for the body. Every reputable detoxification program contains fruit or fruit juices. The lemon is especially cleansing. One of the most popular detox programs is the master cleanse. I do one several times a year and have lost weight and keeping it off.
