Fresh fruit is the first “fast food”. Fruit is super simple to prepare, involves no preparation besides washing and perhaps peeling. Just stash a piece of washed fruit in your bag in the morning then it’s ready any time that day. In the middle of your day, head off the snack bar and enjoy a delicious piece of fresh fruit. I’ve been gathering a few reasons why fruit is beneficial as a snack:
Fresh fruit boasts 0% cholesterol and 0% bad fat.
Fresh fruits are made mostly of water, making them a natural, delicious and nutritious source of our daily water demands.
Fruit is the ultimate brain food. Research has discovered that fruit arouses memory and supports neuro activity in the brain.
Fruit contains dietary fiber, which not only combats digestive troubles and colon cancer, but also helps prevent heart disease.
Fruit is great for weight loss.
Fruits hold a an impressive spectrum of phytonutrients, which give your body many health benefits.
Fresh fruits are cleansing to the body. Every sound detoxification program incorporates fresh fruit. Citrus is particularly cleansing. One of the most popular detox diets is the lemon detox. I do one 4 times every year and love it.
