Fruits for healthy diets

What is in fruits:


Fruits are packed full of natural vitamins. Vitamins which are absolutely essential to good living and well being. And healthy vitamin intake give a boost to everyday living. They contain at least 80% water and are 100% cholesterol free. Whether eaten with meals, as a snack, or on top of low fat yoghurt for dessert, eating fruits as often as possible throughout the day will help bolster the nutritive value of your diet.


Fruits - naturally sweet, colourful, high in vitamins and fibre, and low in calories and fat - are the ideal snack. Scientific research shows that a modest increase of one or two servings of fruit per day can dramatically reduce your susceptability to many diseases.


Rich Antioxidents:


Vitamin C and phytochemicals, abound in fruit. Antioxidents destroy harmful substances in the body, called free radicals, which build up and cause cancer. Of particular interest are two types of phytochemicals - flavonoids and polyphenols - which together have a very powerful antioxident quality. In addition, other phytochemicals in fruit have been found to be anti-allergenic, anti-carciogenic, anti-viral, and anti -inflammatory.
