pieces of fruit
a day?
The food that
contains these
healthy (natural)
fibers is.. right:
fruit! Vegetables
as well.
It is advised
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 and/or
vegetables a day.
Fruit is 100%
bad-cholesterol
free. It contains
some of it, but
that is of a
different type
than the type
that causes so
many diseases.
Animal products
like meat and
dairy contain
a lot of
bad-cholesterol.
So if you have
your 5 fruits a
a day you reduce
three of the
major risk
factors for
heart disease:
High blood
cholesterol;
High blood
pressure and
Excess body
weight.
For high blood
pressure
bananas seems
to be a good
remedy.
Research has
shown that
potassium
lowers the
blood pressure.
Bananas are
significant
sources of
potassium and
would be
expected to
have a
beneficial
effect on blood
pressure.
The best reason
to eat fruit
we can come
up with is
that it tastes
so nice and
that you can
have as much of
it as you
want without
gaining weight!
Fruit is the
most healthy
food on earth
so let's eat it.
