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% bad-cholesterol free
No doubt about this argument. Too much bad-cholesterol
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 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
uncurable diseases 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!
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: have five
to nine portions of fresh fruits or vegetables
a day. Check out the dietary Recommendations of
the American Heart Association here.
Fruit
makes you feel better
Several stories have told us about people that
were frequently depressed and how they got out
of their depression slowly but surely after consuming
substantial amounts of fresh fruit on a regular
basis. Eating much fruit can have a mysterious
healing effect on human beings. Even better is
to drink a lot of freshly squeezed fruit drinks
on a regular basis. It will take approximately
30 days until you start to notice the effects.
Don't forget to drink these smoothies 20 minutes
before the consumption of other meals. This way
the fruit will not ferment in the stomach and
the nutritious elements can be absorbed by the
blood effectively.
Ethical
reasons to eat fruit
Fruit doesn't have to be killed and slaughtered
before you can eat it. The fruits are just hanging
there waiting to be picked by you!
This ethical argument (often used by vegetarians
and vegans to not eat meat) claims that fruit
is a non-animal food. Many people see animals,
especially mammals, as living creatures just like
humans. There are religions that say that animals
have souls like us. The native Americans first
asked the animal's spirit if they could kill it
before they did so. Fruit has never been said
to have a soul and thus can be eaten without causing
any harm. Ethical or religious arguments aside,
we think it's a shame that we as human beings
don't eat much fruit when there is such an abundant
assortment of fruits and vegetables available.
Fruit
is the most natural food
When you see a piece of fruit hanging from a tree
that tree is telling you something: "Eat
my fruits and help me spread my seeds." That’s
how nature works. Humans eat vegetables and fruits
and consequently help the plants to spread. Humans
use animals to work the land to grow the plants
and trees that produce these fruits and vegetables.
In more and more people's opinion this is the
way it was all meant to be.
A human diet
A healthy diet should consist for a great deal
of freshly squeezed fruit juices, raw fruits and
vegetables. Some tips:
