I'll tell you "why fruit?"
Our ancestors discovered that fruits were necessary; provided by mother nature, fruits provide a natural remedy for many of our ailments. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and many phyto-nutrients (Plant derived micronutrients). They're not only a feast for our eyes bursting with vibrant colors but are essential in keeping the body fit and healthy!
Eating fruits rich in blue pigments offers many health benefits. These compounds have potent anti-oxidant properties, remove free radicals from the body, and thus offer protection against cancers, aging, infections etc.
Protect yourself from minor problems like wrinkling of skin, thinning hair, memory loss, age related degeneration of retina in the eyes, Alzheimer’s disease, colon cancers and osteoporosis, to mention just a few of the benefits that come from eating fruit.
It is recommended to eat at least 2-3 servings of fresh fruits every day. Include seasonal fruits in your daily diet. Eat a rainbow of colors every day; a variety of fruit, color, and flavor should be encouraged to get maximum health benefit.
So, what are you waiting for? Add a few pieces of fruit to your daily diet instead of a sugar snack and see what happens.
