why eat fruit?
5 great reasons to eat fruit.
- Fruit consists largely of water, just like the human body does
80% of our body is water, same with most fruit! If you think about it, it's logical for the human body to consume food that contains as much water as the body itself. The nutrition that meets that requirement is fruit. There is no other food than fruit on this planet that contains on average 80% water.
- Fruit is 100% bad-cholesterol free
No doubt about this argument. Too much badcholesterol is not good for our bodies and fruit doesn't contain bad-cholesterol. Animal products like meat and dairy contain a lot of bad-cholesterol.
- Fruit stimulates the memory
If you didn’t know it yet, fruit is the ultimate brain fuel and has a positive effect on our brains. The way this works is still unclear and there is significant research go into this area. What we do know is that if you consume fruit effectively, your brain can recall information faster and more easily.
- Fibre
We do know that a diet with plenty of fibre helps prevent obesity, high blood pressure, and other factors that increase the chance for heart disease. And the food that contains these healthy (natural) fibres is.... you guessed it - fruit!
- Fruit makes you feel better
Research shows that people who are frequently depressed, get out of their depression slowly, but surely, after consuming substantial amounts of fresh fruit on a regular basis. Don't forget to eat fruit on an empty stomach, and 20 minutes before the consumption of other meals. This way the fruit will not ferment in your stomach and the nutritious elements can be absorbed by the blood effectively.
