Studies on health benefits of fruits have always emphasized on their inherent goodness for the human body. It’s a proven fact that people who consume adequate doses of fruits daily are less likely to suffer from diseases. Since different fruits carry nutrients in different quantities, it is best to incorporate a variety of fruits in your diet.
It’s human desire to live long and fruits can fulfill one’s dream of healthy longevity. Being natural, fruits contain no processed chemical preservatives and are best when eaten raw or as juices. Consuming fruits on a daily basis will surely improve your health quotient, making your skin glow like never before.
Still unconvinced? Here is an explanation of how fruits are the best friend of man. We live in an age where stress levels are constantly soaring high. Feelings of stress, depression, tiredness are a general occurrence. If we do not cope with them, we might end up lying sick for months and ultimately turn out to be losers in life. Paying attention to your health and nutrition is of utmost importance when you are planning to chalk out a successful career. A balanced diet complemented with adequate fruits gives you the extra energy to cope with the daily pressure of your life. Besides, the antioxidants produced helps to ward off free radicals from the body.
Free radicals are actually molecules, produced when our bodies are exposed to oxygen followed by a series of reactions. Free radicals can damage proteins, membranes, and genes. Presence of free radicals can cause Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer. Pollution, smoking, sunlight, and alcohol are some of the factors that trigger the production of free radicals. No wonder, we are now at greater risk!
Fruits help in the formation of antioxidants which fight free radicals thus preventing premature ageing and the onset of diseases. Enriched with natural fibers, fruits also ensure proper bowel movement and resist colon and bowel cancers.
Consumption of fruits thus becomes important to keep your body in good health. But the question arises how much fruit should we actually consume to ensure our body has met its daily requirement. It’s a fact that every time you might not prefer to eat whole fruits at regular intervals. You can kick off this boredom with some interesting fruit recipes like juices, smoothies, fruit salads, fruit pies, cut fruit with chilled condensed milk, as pizza toppings etc. Club fruits with various dishes to bring a different flavor. As meal or snack, fruits are equally tasty. Armed with nutrients, they are your ‘natural bodyguards.'
