Someone once told me.....Eating fruit plays a major role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and daily activity. Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal-- it will digest better.
If you have mastered eating the correct amount of fruit, you have the Secret of Beauty, Longevity, Health, Energy, Happiness and normal weight.
Only drink fresh fruit juice, NOT the concentrated juice from the cans. Don't drink juice or fruit that has been heated-- the nutrients cook out, leaving you with the taste, but not the benefit.
Facts on your favorite fruits:
KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E and fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange!
AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
EATING 2 - 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. Also a key source of lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin C and Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes.
