I got this off of yahoo, back in 2010, but still very interesting. It said, you can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
Okay, I love fruit, but that one might be a hard one for me. Hmm... maybe with fruit smoothies. This is what I found interesting below:
Kiwi: Tiny but might. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
Apple: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack and stroke.
Strawberry: Protective fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits and protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
Orange: Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent and dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
Watermelon: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer f fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & potassium.
Guava & Papaya: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.
Hope you enjoyed your little fruit tidbit, now I want to go grab a bowl of fresh fruit.
Be Sweet and Stay Sweet!
