Eat (more) fruit!
These ideas might stimulate your fruit
consumption, remember: Eat five to nine fresh pieces a
day
!
For the largest
part fruit consists of water just like the human body does
Like 80% of our body
is water so does 80% of fruit consist of water!
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.
Vegetables also contain a lot of water and
are therefore second best.

Fruit is 100%
cholesterol free
No doubt about this argument. Too much
cholesterol is not good for our bodies and fruit doesn't contain much
cholesterol. Animal products like meat and dairy contain a lot of cholesterol.
Fruit
stimulates the memory
If you didn’t know yet: fruit is the
ultimate brain fuel. Fruit has a positive effect on our brains. The way this
works still has to be found out and many scientists are looking into it as we
speak. What we do know is that if you consume fruit effectively, your brains can
recall information faster and more easily. This is very useful information for
people who are preparing for an exam. Students that want to go to this
page immediately go to: improve
your exam results with fruit.
The idea that
fruit is an expensive nutrition
Did you always think that fruit was an
expensive product? Take a good look at how much money you spend on other food.
It could be worth something to replace some of those expenses with fruit. We
think that fruit is the healthiest food on earth and therefore it is well worth
spending our money on.
The miraculous
healing effects of fruit
Spectacular stories about people that cured
from cancer by a strict diet of raw fruits and/or vegetables are well known but
do we want to believe them? We still don't know that much about fruit and its
contents.
Fibers
We do know now that a diet with plenty of
fibers helps against corpulence, high blood pressure, and other factors that
increase the chance for a heart disease. The consumed amount of fibers maybe
even a more important factor than the amount of fat that is consumed by people!
This appears from a recent American study that has been published in october
1999 in The journal of the American Heart Association.
The food that contains these healthy
(natural) fibers is.... right: fruit! (vegetables as well).
The American Heart Association advises to consume 25 to 30 grams of fibers out of fresh fruits and/or vegetables. In practice this means at least five to nine portions of fresh fruits or vegetables a day.
