Goodness - Of - Fruits

Is there anything common between a fruit and our body?

Well, it may surprise you but the answer is 'yes'. Both the fruit and our body consist
of water in a large quantity. The structure of our body is such that there is almost
80% water, stored in our body. Similarly a fruit also consists of 80% water. Spend a
few minutes to think over this fact and you will yourself discover how logical it is for
the human body to consume a food that contains the same amount of water, as does
your own body. Our body requires lots of water and the only thing that meets this
requirement perfectly is a fruit. Can you name any eatable on the earth other than
a fruit that contains 80% water on average? This question is quite difficult to answer
so we can say that a fruit is a complete natural food for a human body.

Fruit is 100% cholesterol free

High cholesterol is not considered good for a healthy body. It is an interesting fact
about the fruits that they do not contain much cholesterol. However several animal
products such as meat and dairy products contain a lot of cholesterol. So either avoid
completely or reduce consumption of animal products as much as possible and make
it a habit to have at least one fruit per day.

Fruit stimulates memory

We all want to have a sharp memory, do not we? Well the fruits are helpful here also.
Another surprising and interesting fact about the fruit is that a fruit is the best fuel for
our brain. If someone consumes fruit on a regular basis then his or her brain becomes
capable of recalling information faster and more easily. May be here you came to know
something new about the fruits but it is better late than never. So just keep this in your
mind forever. Our lives have become so busy in the modern times that we hardly care
about our eating habits and most of the time in the hustle-bustle of everyday life we forget
to have proper diet also. In such case the fruit could be a real good friend who not only
cope with the extra demand of our body but also stimulate our memory and give us
energy to keep going.

Get your daily dose of fiber with fruit

A diet that contains plenty of fibers is capable of protecting us against the problems
such as corpulance, high blood pressure, and other factors that are responsible for the
increase in chances of a heart disease. The food that contains the healthy natural fibers
is the right kind of food. The fruits and the vegetables are those natural foods that are
fiber rich. In fact, the amount of fiber that we consume could prove to be more important
element than the amount of fat that we consume.

Fruit and the sunny skies

Fruit is that healthy diet which helps us fight one of the negative emotions, that is
'depression'. Just remember eating a lot of fruits could have a mysterious healing
effect on human beings. Even better option for you is that you can drink a lot of
freshly squeezed fruits, as fruit juices. Having fruit juices on a regular basis is very
good for good health. The positive effects or the results of having fruit juices may
take approximately 30 days time for you to notice.

Create a Fruit Explosion!!

In case you are not a very enthusiastic fruit eater but you want to eat more fruits,
you can begin with fruit juices. To squeeze fruits to make juices is one of the best
ways to start eating fruits, which gradually becomes a habit. And thus you can get
used to eating more and more fruits. After having fruit juices for a while, you will
notice that your appetite to eat raw fruits has increased naturally.

Aren't many fibers lost if you squeeze fruit?

Having squeezed fruits as juices is as healthy as eating a raw fruit out of your hand.
It is a common belief that some of the fruit flesh and nutrients are lost when we
squeeze the fruits but in fact it is not at all so. On the contrary this means that your
glass of any fruit juice does contain all the important and nutrient fibers that are
required for your good health. These natural fibers not only play very significant
role in preventing many diseases such as cancer but they also stimulate the digestive
system. So the simple habit of eating lots of fruits or just one fruit a day can help
you get rid of eating bran or other intestine stimulating products to stimulate your
digestive system.
