Eating fruits and vegetables allows a person to be more regular which prevents colon cancer. I have 2 to 4 bowel movements per day, which could mean that I'm defacating a lot of unwanted fat which my body would otherwise store. It is difficult to get people to believe that I have that many bowel movements a day and it is not diarrhea. It has nothing to do with that. It's called a healthy digestive system.



You would be amazed at how easy it is to incorporate vegetables and fruits into your diet. When you are at home, instead of drinking bottled juice or health sapping soda, put a short stem of broccoli, some orange juice, pomegranate juice and a banana in a blender.

Answer 9

More fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants

By making hair longer and shinier. Helping eye sight, teeth, and muscles.

Answer 11

Fruits are an important part of our diet because they are rich in vitamins, nutrients and a good source of fiber. Vitamin C helps in strengthening your bones and immune system. A strong immune system can keep you from being sick, or if you do become sick, help you to fight it off quicker. Fiber is good at detoxifying and removing unneeded bulk from your body. Junk food and other unhealthy foods can slow down or cause problems with our digestive system, in turn your body retains toxins it should be getting rid of.



However, the reason why fruits are associated with health is because it's a healthier alternative to what we're usually eating. These days most of the food we consume is incredibly sugar rich, from candy to cake, to soda and ice cream. We like sugar, there's no question about it, unfortunately it's in the form of process sugars like High Fructose Corn Syrup which can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and heart attack. So fruits are a much healthier (and natural) source of the sugar we love and crave. But even too much fruit can be bad, so moderation is key!

Answer 14

How can eating more fruits improve your body’s health?



If someone doesn't eat fruit at all, that someone can not eat more fruit. They can start eating fruit. If someone already eats a lot of fruit, more of it isn't going to really help either, can even be toxic. Fruit has a lot of natural fibers, minerals and vitamins. In todays world, fruit also contains chemicals and toxins, the stuff off the supermarket counter was chemically treated and picked before it was ripe, so there is more caution invloved compared to health benefit when thinking about it.



Strawberries are good, too many will make you sick. I have read where people have died from too many strawberries, toxicity levels.



Eating more fruit alone can not improve your body's health.

It can enhance one's immune system. It takes a lot more than fruit to maintain a healthy life-style, like more exercise and fresh air.

Answer 15

Fresh fuit has always got to taste better than old fruit but on a serious note-

different fruits have different vitamins etc which can help us when we are in different states.

oranges,apples etc contain a lot of vitamin c - which can help considerably when you are in a hot country as scurvy type conditions can ensue with dehydration.

If a person has bowel problems- figs are an excellent laxative and so a person doesn't need to take manufactured chemicals if they don't want to.

There can be many benefits of fresh fruit but a person has to learn which fruit does what etc - and the bonus is taste-

- I don't eat all fruits but seeing as you mentioned strawberrys- I believe the sugar content can be very good at the beginning of the day when you need energy and the TASTE is glorious. eat and enjoy BUT learn about fruit because you don't want the runs whilst wearing a space suit do you?

Answer 16

Well FruitaBu there are many benefits to eating fruits. First, you get the vitamins and minerals that your body requires to function, so this will increase your body's system strength and improve overall health. With fruit also comes fiber. Fiber helps to clear your colon and causes you to use the restroom which is actually a good thing because the more you go to the bathroom the more you decrease your risk of getting colon cancer, the second most deadly cancer. Last, fruits, especially berries, contain many anti-oxidants. This is the best benefit of fruits. Anti-oxidants stop aging and the harmful affects of impurities found in your body such as small traces of metals. These anti-oxidants can stop cancer and slow the aging process. Basically, fruits contribute to a healthy diet and you should eat them regularly.



Hope that answered it. ^^



...hmmmm...was this a school assignment???

Answer 17

Answer 18

While eating some fruits can be beneficial, from what I have learned, they should not be eaten along with meats as this can cause serious digestive problems. Further, juicing fruits along with certain vegetables such as baby spinach, celery, etc. is one of the most efficient ways for ones body to absorb the nutrients offered in these food sources as juicing allows the nutrients to pass directly to the cells without the unnecessary processing of the waste by the colon. Fruits, aside from some vegetables, are best utilized by the body when eaten alone and waiting, depending on the fruit, for at least 45 minutes before consuming other food.

Answer 19

Fruits are the only food in this world that has got not only useful vitamins, water and minerals but also the least amount of oil and crap materials that foods can contain. That's why the digestion system finds it the easiest to digest them all and bring the outcome as early as possible. Different vitamins work quickly for different parts of the body and the necessity of a balanced diet is met. Water of the fruits help people to get rid of dehydration, this is one of the best things a fruit does. Before it was thought that normal fruits lack abundancy of proteins and raw nuts can deal with these problems. Nuts can do it but they have oil in a bit higher ratio. Howeever, recent research proves that fruits like fig, peach, coconut, pineapple also have enough protein for a balanced a diet. SO IF SOMEONE WANTS, IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE ONLY ON FRUITS. and if someone can do that in proper proportions, he will never have any disease that is somehow related with fruits.

Answer 22

Fruits are loaded with nutrition, such as vitamins, fiber, and carbohydrates. Vitamins help the body to function to its fullest potential, fiber keeps the digestive system healthy, and carbohydrates provide a source of energy that is better than sugar or caffeine. Many people eat fruits because when they eat them, they have more energy. Also, eating fruits can help the body's immune system because of the many important vitamins contained in the fruits; this could explain the increased health many vegetarians enjoy.

Answer 23

Fruits apart from been great to eat, come with other ingredients which are good for the body.Cranberries for instance are known to contain an ingredient which helps to control Prostate Cancer.Tomatoes(fruit or veg) contains Lycopene which is good for men's health. Strawberries, Gooseberries, and many of the red fruits and Citrus are high in Vitamin C, whilst many have antioxidant properties.Most fruits contribute to the minerals and salts our bodies need daily.

Answer 24

The essential nutrition in fruit, and vegetables, is so naturally bio available to our body that no other vitamin or supplement can come even remotely close.



Our bodies have not changed much from the hunters and gathers of our ancestors and our bodies have not evolved or adapted as quickly as the world of supplements, medication and processed foods. Eating an apple is much better for us than eating an apple pie.



We just do not assimilate and use the ingredients of man made and processed foods and vitamins anywhere near as easily as those in fresh naturally occurring foods, therefore, the nutrition values are not anywhere near as effective. Refining and processing foods removes critically important nutrients.



We need the vitamin, fiber, antioxidant and mineral benefits of all fresh foods in their natural state to give the body the tools it needs to repair and rejuvenate. which it does very well, given the opportunity.



Studies show that the average educated American eats on average eleven types of foods compared to the ten or so hunter and gather groups still in existence on the planet today who consume around seventy-five different plants.*

Answer 27

1. They contain natural vitamins which are actually absorbed by the body.



2. They help the body eliminate waste and toxins. This is partially because of the fibre.



3. The vitamins they contain help the body with many different factors - skin, hair, weight loss, energy, etc.



4. By eating a variety of fruits, instead of just one fruit, you are more likely to get all of the nutrients you need.



5. Getting enough vitamin C can eliminate strange cravings and prevent you from eating junk food. Fruit has lots of vitamin C.

Answer 28

Vitamins from a natural state like a fruit have much better absorption in the body. Fruits are high in water soluble vitamins that help you immunity against minor illness, help your energy levels for quick energy, help the appearance of your skin, and the natural fiber helps your digestive tract.



Vitamins A, C, and E especially help you fight off colds and other winter infections going around. So, during the winter, while it's growing season in the southern hemisphere, take advantage of modern shipping and buy fresh fruit at the grocery store. Your body needs it. Take it from someone who's lived there - they have a ton of fruit and it's really great tasting fruit.

Answer 29

In the health news this week are several articles about the benefits of fruits.



A recent study determined that children of mothers who ate apple regularly during pregnancy have less asthma.



Another study suggests that a high fruit and vegetable diet also low in fat helps to prevent several times cancer.



There are also studies showing that fruit eaters have less macro-degeneration of the eye.



As to how? I think we really know very little about the working of food in our bodies. Vitamins -minerals and antioxidants are just the tip of the iceberg so to speak.



We know that supplements do not confer the same benefits as real food.



Meanwhile, I love fruit! Eating 5 to 8 helpings a day is no choir for me. I am even developing a "taste" for vegetables.

Answer 30

strawberries are good, but almost all fruits (and vegetables) are beneficial. We are made to eat everything, and therefore should eat the meats also. Orange juice every day provides the vitamin C needed, and the whole fruit gives necessary "bulk," formerly known as fiber. Which moves the undigested food along the digstive tract in a steady manner, eventually leaving the residue, partly fermented, to be expelled.

Answer 31

Fresh Fruits have a decent fiber content.. so you get full faster with less sugar than say drinking juice. Also there are many minerals and nutrients dissolved into the fruit that the body can absorb and use. You can also pick fruit based on it's Glycemic Index for your own needs...



on a side note, organic fruits have a lower heavy metal count on average than commercially produced fruits.

Answer 32

Of course fruits are well-known mostly for their vitamins, but most of them have a large amount of water and calories (good carbohydrates) and a beneficially sweet taste, which makes them a pleasure to eat!

they are also good because they make your skin more elastic, because of the pro-vitamins existing in some fruits that turn into vitamins under the sun, that's why when some people eat more fruits, their skin is not ruined by the sun so quickly.

To summarize, fruits are like "deserts of nature" you can never feel quilty eating them, and their nutritional value makes them twice as delightful and much more beneficial than vegetables!

Answer 33

Fruits and vegetables are very good for the body, but too much can cause diarrhea in some individuals. I'm very careful when eating fruits when dining out and having to drive a ways to get home.



In others with diabetes, certain fruits and vegetables have a lot of carbs. This is a no no for diabetics who have to control their carb intake in order to control their sugar intake as well.



In others, you have the 'allergic reactions' to be concerned about. My son was very allergic to strawberries. Some people are allergic (deadly as a matter of fact) to peanuts.



You might say that eating fruits and vegetables are sort of like taking a certain drug for a health condition. All drugs have some kind of side affects.



Like anything we put into our bodies, remember a very valuable saying:



"All things in moderation!"

Answer 34

Fresh fruit is beneficial to our health because of the high content of fiber, and the high content of vitamins (for a considerably low quantity of calories). Some fruit are more nutritious than others. Here is a great website that talks about the benefits of many fruits and vegetables, World's Healthiest Food : http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php

Answer 37

They have various vitamins in them that help the body in different ways, such as Vitamin C, which helps the body cope with stress. But thats just one out of many uses. Also there is Vitamin A which is essential in human nutrients and can be found in apples, apricots and even pumpkins (yes, pumpkins are fruits.) Vitamin A is important to vision and bone growth.

Answer 38

Fruits contain micronutrients and minerals taken from the ground and processed by the plants. Nature has it that only plants can do the job of converting these minerals into products can be readily absorbed by the body. fruits also contain antioxidants that slows down aging process. fruits have the cleansing power needed by our body to get rid of the toxins that we have eaten together in foods that we eat such as excess protein that we our body dont not need as we grtow older, fats from excess carb and stored in our body which watre ot burned because some of as do not excesize enaought . so eat more fruits and and have a life full of joy with less worries just like this person who eats fruits before any meals in the morning. with a litter of water.

Answer 39

Fruits offer not only essential fiber for regular bowel function, they also offer vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and enzymes for proper digestive balance. Without just one of these necessities the body becomes imbalanced and begins a cycle of malabsorbtion. So you won't get the full benefit of the food. The body becomes stressed ,it begins to feel ill health and experience a sence of unwellness.



They have natural sugar - fructose- which because is has the opposite spin in the cellular structure, it means the sugars are more slowly absorbed for better sugar management.

Answer 40

Answer 41

Also fruits help to increase your immune system and keep your skin healthy and vision clear. It is best to pair your fruits and vegetables on a daily basis and keep a fresh piece of fruit handy at all times. Fruits such as strawberries contain high levels of Vitamin C and taste great in a chicken salad. Ask Chef Winston?????????

Answer 42

Fruit also provides a powerful antioxidant in Vitamin C and reduces the risk of stroke and heart attacks. Vitamin C helps build and repair bodily tissue and promotes wound healing. The body uses Vitamin C to help metabolize fats and cholesterol, absorb iron, and synthesize amino acids and collagen. Potassium-rich fruits such as bananas and honeydew melon can reduce the risk of kidney stones and bone loss. Fruit also provides folic acid, which helps the body form red blood cells and is especially important for expectant mothers.

Answer 43

I never thought that eating one particular food would help me . I wanted to and have tried to lose weight and to no avail . Until I tried the fruit for , snacks , craving sweets . after every meal . i eat fruit instead .

I have a huge bowl on my table. In my fridge there is fruit . And I even got a banana hook to hang the bananas without them rotting fast . So to me the benefits are great . Thank you , have a great day !

Answer 44

Because fruits have been such a major part of the human diet, different cultures have developed many different uses for various fruits that they do not depend on as being edible. Many dry fruits are used as decorations or in dried flower arrangements, such as unicorn plant, lotus, wheat, annual honesty and milkweed. Ornamental trees and shrubs are often cultivated for their colorful fruits, including holly, pyracantha, viburnum, skimmia, beautyberry and cotoneaster.

Answer 45

Via photosynthesis, plants channel energy from the sun down to their roots, forming a feedback circuit with the Sun and Earth, a positive (sun) and negative change, (Earth) acheiving a grounding effect. Energy circulates, and proteins and sugars are produced. Bio-photons are the residual energy left over from this exchange. Plants have these biophotons in abundance, and these are transferred to an animal upon consumption. Eating fruits and vegetables are akin to eating sunlight itself. Anything that corrupts the circulation of sunlight will result in sickness. Sunlight is a potent antioxidant against cancer. Sunlight is the source of reproductive health.



All things come from the sun, sunlight is healthy.But the body must be tuned to sunlight to receive it properly. Plant food is stored sunlight.

Answer 46

If most people ate 5 to 9 servings of fruits and veggies a day ;along with some grains and some chicken or/and fish,,,they would loose weight and be healthier. A serving is 1/2 cup. The more rich colors (of fruits and veggies) that you eat the healthier you'll be.

Answer 47

They absolutely cannot. As doctors prove repeatedly they have no idea what is good for you and what is not. Every year they announce something they have been prescribing for years has actually been killing you all along and something they have been warning you against is completely ineffective. (A good example is the recently annonced ineffectiveness of avoiding red meat and fatty foods as a prevention of prostate cancer. Think of all the miserable meals people have been having for nothing)



I wouldn't be surprised if they find out in fifty years fruit is really the cause behind cancer. Think I'm Crazy? How many people do you know with cancer or have you known with cancer who have consumed fruit? Now my example is bad science, but that's the same style of science that tells you what is good for you and what is not.



William Faulkner once wrote that a doctors job is to find out what you are doing and tell you to do something else. People don't naturally gravitate toward the consumption of fruit, ergo, doctors are frequently telling us to eat more. Why do so many of us resist or forgo fruit without prodding? Because the consumption of fruit is not natural. Our body doesn't want it. Need an example? I have read repeatedly how fruit is good for you because it makes you regular. Want to know something else that will make you regular? Crystal Meth. Why? Because it is freakin' poison and your body takes every method to expel it from your system. Fruit makes you regular because your body doesn't want it.

Answer 50

It's hard to believe that something so delectable as a strawberry has anti-cancer properties. One of "The World's Healthiest Foods", strawberry, is proof that medicine and food that is good for you can also be delicious. Here is the nutritional role that strawberries play...

Answer 51

Well the color in fruit can give many antoxidants...for example they say eating blueberries increases the memory or helps to boost the memory...no eating blueberries will not make you a genuis, but they do help. I also believe that the natural sugars are much better than they high fructose syrupy stuff we can buy in the store...each time you eat sugar, I hear that is surpresses your immune system..the more fruits you eat, the better nutrients that will be dsitributed to the body to help maintain a healthy heart and boost metabolism so we can stop craving high carb foods..

Answer 52

Besides tasting good & being high in nutrients, fruits are high in fiber. Fiber stays in the gut longer so nutrients can be absorbed. We feel full longer b/c fiber isn't digested, therefore we eat less, therefore helping maintain a healthy weight. Glucose levels in the blood will stay more even & constant (not the spikes you get with processed sugars & carbs). Yep..it'll keep you regular..eat fruit(&green leafy veggies) & drink lots of water. (an apple a day really does keep the doctor away)

Answer 53

Fruits in general are one of the key ingredients in helping your body to fight cancer! In fact, the more colorful the fruit is, the better. They have various vitamins in them that help the body in different ways, such as Vitamin C, which helps the body cope with stress. But thats just one out of many uses. Also there is Vitamin A which is essential in human nutrients and can be found in apples, apricots and even pumpkins (yes, pumpkins are fruits.) Vitamin A is important to vision and bone growth.

Answer 54

Fruit is loaded with fiber, which promotes bowel movements and prevents constipation and diverticulosis, a colon disease. One serving of strawberries offers a decrease in blood pressure and lowers the risk of cancer and arthritis, as well as enhanced memory. Pineapple is good for oral health, able to reduce the risk of gingivitis.



Fruit also provides a powerful antioxidant in Vitamin C and reduces the risk of stroke and heart attacks. Vitamin C helps build and repair bodily tissue and promotes wound healing. The body uses Vitamin C to help metabolize fats and cholesterol, absorb iron, and synthesize amino acids and collagen. Potassium-rich fruits such as bananas and honeydew melon can reduce the risk of kidney stones and bone loss. Fruit also provides folic acid, which helps the body form red blood cells and is especially important for expectant mothers.

Answer 55

A recent extensive study has shown, that eating Antioxidants and Vitamins in Excess, leads to weakening of the natural immune system of the body and shorter life expectancy. There is nothing wrong with eating fruits, buts its not all that. We will die anyway. My grandmother didn't eat a healthy (by todays standards) or fresh thing in 98 years.

Answer 56

the poo people sound a little poo-y[in a good way]. i have mixed feelings about this subject, as the fruit and vegetables are grown and shipped from other countries such as communist china, Mexico, and other European countries that do not have the greatest of clean water. in the USA we have to use filters at the faucet if we want uncontaminated water, and that's after the government said they cleaned the water that comes into our homes. these other countries have different and well below USA standards for growing food for USA consumption.

so the only smart thing to do is grow your own fruit and vegetables.

Answer 57

Fruit consumption helps to raise your blood sugar when your feeling week as well as increases your fiber. Anti oxidants that the body does not normally store such as Vitamin A,C, D, E come from many of the fruits and vegetables that we eat today. Also fruits help to increase your immune system and keep your skin healthy and vision clear. It is best to pair your fruits and vegetables on a daily basis and keep a fresh piece of fruit handy at all times. Fruits such as strawberries contain high levels of Vitamin C and taste great in a chicken salad. Ask Chef Winston?????????

Answer 58

ITS really eating more fruits improve our health because as I ofserve my employers eats more fruits than carbohydrates like rice and they have a good healthy body but eating more strawberries which is is sweets like sugar the outcome will be diabetes so we must eats only which can our body needed too much is not good also everything over will destroy our body/

Answer 59

Fruit offers a variety of benefits to the human body. Fruit offers carbs, which gives your body fuel to do things. Some fruits like: apples, blackberries, grapefruits, rasberries, and oranges are high in fiber (which aids in digestion). Also, in cantaloupe and some veggies there is Vit. A, which is good for your eyes. Other fruits like oranges, tangerines, bananas, and berries have Vit. C which is good for your immune system and for your bones, teeth, etc.

Answer 60

COLOR - research shows that bright colors of fruits (as well as vegetables) indicate richness in ANTIOXIDANTS, as well as VITAMINS and MINERALS. Blueberries indicate a possible preventative measure against prostate cancer, for example.



FIBER - fruits help maintain proper digestion.



COMPLEX CARBS - Fruits are nature's answer to a sweet tooth - in a good way. Unlike simple sugars in candy, fruits are tasty, and deliver complex carbohydrates, which take longer for your body to convert into fuel - giving you a longer lasting energy source, without the "sugar crash" from processed candies.





There are other benefits, but these are just a few.



Thanks for the question.

Answer 61

Better looking skin. More energy. An apple equals a cup of coffee or Coke. So instead of caffeine eat an apple and that will give you energy for a longer period of time without the energy crash. It can even help with ADD. I used to work on a horse farm and a few apples would keep me going all day without a need for food or rest breaks. So pile on those fruits!

Answer 62

Fruits have a lot of things to give you.



1.) A lot of vitamins and minerals, especially the water soluble vitamins.

2.) Antioxidants can also be granted by fruits. Now, fruits cannot give you all the kinds of antioxidants, so don't simply focus on them.

3.) They can also be a source of fiber. It may be soluble fiber, or insoluble fiber.

4.) They are the major source of fructose, a form of sugar. That's why its called "fructose" because of its source - fruit sugar.

5.) Fruits can be a good substitute for vegetables since both of them are plant based.

6.) Fruits can help you lessen your appetite. This is good for people who want to undergo a dietary program.

7.) Fruits can be a nice source of fluids. This is why we can make fruit juice.



Now, fruits alone cannot guarantee your health, since fruits are not that much of a source object for proteins, and carbohydrates. Also, it may cause cavities, if you're not brushing (except for the acidic fruits like citrus).

Answer 63

Fruits contain Vit. C, and Vit. C or absorbic acids helps improve your immune system. Some fruits contain a very high amount of vitamin C which is very helpful for our bodies. Fruits does not only contain Vit. C but also other Vitamins and minerals. Also They said If you eat fruits for a whole week, (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), It will remove all the toxins in your body because Vit. C is an antioxidant. Antioxidants prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body.

Answer 64

Alot of people also don't realize fruits and vegetables also are very low in calories so if you have bad eating habits such as eating out of boredom, eating before bed, eating while you work... or so on which you all probably have don't worry I do too xD, they can help you fill your habits without adding extreme amounts of daily calorie intake.

Answer 66

When you consider that our ancestors ate mostly fruits & veggies, how many of us have ever heard of a constipated cave man? I'm sure that there was more than a few. Can you say roughage? Anyway, fruits have the vitamins & anti-oxidants that would benefit us now. Good Luck & Blessings

Answer 67

They play a key nutritional role in our body. Not only are they simple carbs, immediate energy for the body, but they pack things such as fiber, zinc, and a assortment of other nutrients. Plus they satisfy a sweet tooth without eating a high fat candy bar or snack.

Answer 68

I love fruit and have always eaten a lot of it. I don't keep any junk food or sweets around because I couldn't control eating them.



I had a colonoscopy and I was told that I had a very healthy colon. My good cholesterol is also very high. My bad one is too high, but apparently the good one balances out the bad one.



There are different vitamins in different fruits.

Answer 69

fruits provide much energy in form of sucrose, which is your body will break it down into glucose and fructose... both are forms of carbohydrates your body likes... increase of carb intake will up your blood glucose level (fructose gets converted into glucose eventually) in a short period of time... fruits have a high glycemic index... meaning the their sucrose can be rapidly absorbed... when your blood glucose level is raised, you will feel more full... thus eating fruit can be a good way to satisfy your hunger.



2ndly, fruit has much fiber... which your body cant break down but it will help digestion by occupying the space in the GI tract and stimulate peristalsis (the process which the intestines push food along)... So you can lower the risk of constipation by consuming fruit.



certain fibers can be broken down by the good bacterias in your large intestine, and some of the byproducts can be helpful to you.



Fruit also contain much of the vitamins and minerals your body needs... Like Potassium, Vita B's, Vita C etc. and they taste great... cant go wrong with fruits!!!

Answer 70

Basically your body ultimately needs sugars. Fruit has natural sugars in them. Fruit is especially good post-workout.



Each fruit has it's very own distinctive advantages. For example Pomegrante is good for you as an antioxidant, Goji is good for alkalization of your blood, Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C, Bannanas for Potassium, cherries are particularly good for a multitude of things such as lowering urate levels, arthritis, gout, muscle pain, back pain, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases and more.



Also, if you are eating a low-carb diet fruits are great as well. They contain carbs, but they are the good carbs (i.e the kind your body needs).



In addition, taking a multi-vitamin daily will be very beneficial as well.



Hope this helps out!

Answer 71

People have eaten fruit and other natural foods for many thousands of years, allowing them to live healthy, productive lives. It has only been in the last few centuries that obesity from over eating and eating the wrong kinds of foods has reared its ugly head. Eating healthy foods, including fruit, not only keeps the body healthy, but also allows the body to heal itself faster, prevent premature aging, and stave off infections. These are only a few of the benefits that fruits offer in our daily nutrition.

Answer 72

Most people believe that once they are diagnosed with some vision problem and start wearing eye glasses or contact lenses to correct them, they will have to do so for life in order to see better. Those who want a permanent solution to improve eyesight typically resort to Lasik or other corrective eye surgeries. But you you can also improve your vision without surgery and can see perfectly well without using eyeglasses or contact lenses. You can check here to know how https://tr.im/73ed3

Answer 73

Our bodies need a certain amount of vitamins to do what it is intended to do. Some vitamins help with vision and so forth. Your body also needs a good amount of fiber for the digestive system. When people don't eat enough vegetables and fruit they usually take a vitamin supplement.

Answer 74

Well they have lots of vitamins and minerals, but most Americans so overfed they don't need any extra vitamins or minerals but take them to excess anyway as a cure-all, quasi elixir. I guess it can't hurt though. The fiber in them will make you feel full with less calories and keep you regular which is good. They also have a lower glycemic index than refined sugars which will give you more steady blood sugar levels and a feeling of sustained energy rather than a sugar "high" and then crash.



Fruits are also chock full of antioxidants. I'm sure these are good in some ways but I suspect their positive effects are over reported. I've heard they're good for everything from bone and joint problems to curing cancer. Everything nowadays supposedly either cures/prevents cancer or causes it. Not to mention if you aren't getting anitoxidants, you just aren't trying. They're in practically everything. For example, the cup of coffee I'm drinking right now is loaded with antioxidants but I would hardly call coffee a health drink. I think most of this stuff is sold by same people who sold us snake oil in the late 19th century. People will often kick common sense to the wayside because they want to believe promises so badly. For examples see exercise equipment, make millions in your spare time ads, age defying anti-oxidant rich cremes, practically every religion since the dawn of time, political speeches, etc, etc, etc, to the end of our age.

Answer 75

This is the best benefit of fruits. Anti-oxidants stop aging and the harmful affects of impurities found in your body such as small traces of metals. These anti-oxidants can stop cancer and slow the aging process. Basically, fruits contribute to a healthy diet and you should eat them regularly.

Answer 76

There own governments need to take some responsibility for there people and there health. We Americans cannot afford to cure the world of all there aliments, especially with the illegal aliens bringing in a whole new mix of diseases we havent seen for years. I understand your concerns but realisticly its impossible to assume we can have much of an impact on any developing nation espeically when they refuse to practice safe sex.

Answer 77

Who said it's actually true?

It's not, you cannot live only just by eating fruit the whole day.

Fruit contains glucose, so don't exaggerate =)

True, it's good to replace a sandwitch by a juicy apple, and is also nice for your diet, but you cannot lose weight by eating fruit all day.

Don't forget that although fruit contains most of vital vitamins and minerals, they cannot replace your daily menu.

Answer 78

Anybody who consumes more fruits can improve their body's health because fruits contain differnt vitamins and fibre which helps in digestion. Other benefits are smooth, nourished skin, silky hair. Sparkly eyes if you consume vitamin A from yellow or orange vegetables.

Answer 79

Not all, but I enjoy fruit and I make sure that I have at least two servings a day. I know the apples are good for fiber, berries have great antioxidant properties, and oranges and mangoes are good sources of vitamin C.

Answer 80

fruit contains many essential vitamins and nutrients for the body.

Vitamin C is a big one, especially for the up coming winter months.

Plus, fruit is an excellent source of fiber. Soluble and in soluble fiber are needed to keep the digestive tract healthy.

Fruit just tastes good and is good for you and most comes 'prepackaged' and can be peeled or eaten 'as is' skin and all.

Answer 81

well, you probably know that vitamins are good for you. But vitamins are water-soluble, and that means that you will unfortunately be getting rid of vitamin with urine. So keeping a steady source of vitamins will make sure that your body has the vitamins it needs when it needs it.



However, too much vitamins won't do any benefits, so eating a gazillion more fruits won't make you much more healthier (it will probably explode your stomach and kill you. Did you know that a stomach can hold about 4L before it bursts? but 4L is a lot.)

Answer 82

all fresh fruits and veggies carry natural amounts of vitamins, minerals, sugars and water your body naturally needs. It's easier for your body to digest the simple things, the things human bodies have been used to digesting for hundreds of years. It's a balance.... and nature's way of taking care of us. I'm sure there is a website that can tell you the healthful reasons to eat each and every fruit and veggie.

Answer 83

The word vitamin is a phrase coined to describe enzymes. Many modern human beings know that an enzyme is a chemical that acts as a catalyst. It happens to be that there are often certain sets of chemicals which should interact with one another that can be near each other and yet not interact until and unless a certain third chemical is present that acts as a catalyst. It starts a chemical reaction between the other two chemicals.

That is what a vitamin is. Well it happens to be that vitamins when in fruits or vegetables that have not been cooked are living enzymes. They are chemicals that have life in them and are able to cause other chemicals in your body to interact with one another. This process is called nutrition.

Then there is fiber. Vegetables and fruits have fiber. When we eat uncooked vegetables and fresh raw fruits we take in vegetable fiber. This is vital to help move your food along the alimentary canal ( your whole food tube from your mouth to where solid waste comes out) quickly. The faster your food moves along the healthier you are. We call it transit time.

When you cook vegetables what you are doing is softening them. You soften them by forcing moisture into them. If you eat cooked vegetables you are eating vegetables where the living enzymes have been killed and the fiber has had moisture forced into it. That is bad for your health. The fiber should go in you uncooked. Then it can cook inside you and absorb moisture from your digested food. When you digest food one thing that happens in there is that bacteria and other germs are killed. When you have uncooked vegetable fiber in there it can soak up the moisture the dead microbes are floating in. If you have plenty of fiber your food will pass through you fast and you will have several bowel movements a day (Which is what you should have if you eat several meals a day.) Your transit time can be 10 hours which is very healthy for you. Instead of the 24 to 78 hours that most Americans have today as their transit time. That is a breeding ground for countless future health troubles.



You can do an experiment to educate yourself and to stimulate your desire to eat a healthy diet.

Take a meal of food that you normally eat and chop it up and grind it up and put it in a plate or bowl and cover it and leave it on the table for two days and periodically look at it and smell it and see how disgusting it is. Just imagine if you kept it at around 98 degrees the temperature in your body.

Then take what would be a meal of raw vegetables and fresh fruit and leave it ground up on a table and see how it looks after 10 hours and 24 hours and two days. Compare the two.

Now the fruit and vegetable one might stink too. But it stinks in a different way.

Understand something if you would. There are two sorts of germs or bacteria. One type grows on plants and eats plants. And another type grows on meat and eats meat. There are good bacteria that are healthy for you and help produce health in you. For the most part they are found on plants. Then there is bad bacteria that eats meat and it can and would eat you (you are made of meat) if you gave it a chance. For the most part this bacterium grows on meats. The more fresh fruit and raw vegetables you eat on a daily basis the more good bacteria (we call it intestinal flora) you get. It happens to be the case that when you have many colonies of the good bacteria through your digestive tract that they produce an environment where the germs that live on meat do not survive.

SO this is the reason to eat plenty of raw vegetables and fresh fruit.

Then also there are many antioxidants in them also. That is a whole other story. Antioxidants help slow down the aging process in your body,. If you would take in enough of them you would stop I said stop the aging process? To eat enough they say we need to eat 22 pounds of fresh fruit and raw vegetables each and every day. That is impossible you would say. Well I have found a way to do it and if you would like to know what it is please email me and ask. I also have what I call the world's best breakfast. You can ask for that. Or look on my profile and find it.



If a person eats 20 pounds of the right plants every day in twenty years they should look the same as they do now or even look younger than they do now.



Then there are also the phyto-nutrients and then there are the lipocenes and then there are the lipids and essential fatty acids and so on and so forth most of which are found in various plants.



Plants also have minerals which often give them their color. Bright colorful foods are healthy and you should eat a rainbow of them daily or weekly. They are great to use if you want to lose weight. The mistake many Americans make in eating is they put fattening dressings on them A good dressing is a tablespoon of yogurt or a whole cup of yogurt and some lemon juice. (a squeezed half lemon. ) The more vegetables you eat. Make salads of fresh varieties of vegetables broccoli Brussels Sprouts carrots peppers spinach ( wash it all good) and add fruits like apples pears peaches melons and parsley and celery and squashes and every type eat loads and loads of it and you will be full most of the time and not snack and you will lose weight and feel great.

Answer 84

Eating fruit is important for your health but eating at right time is more important. Some people eat fruit after lunch and dinner, which doesn't provide any kind of vitamin to your body.

Because lunch and dinner alomost takes 2 hours to digest in your stomach.

Eat fruit in empty stomach and feel the difference.

fruits are important for our body's health. they provide us with vitamins and that are good for our body. some fruits are also natural breath fresheners like apple. they clean our teeth and this is important to insure that the food is clean once it enters the gullet, and not contaminated with the bacteria found in the mouth. some fruits also have high fiber content, example dates. the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to eat 4 date fruits in the early morning for Ramadan, and he used to stay full for the whole day. this is because the fiber present. fiber takes a long time to digest, therefore it keeps the stomach busy. the stomach tells you its hungry when it has nothing to digest. fiber also reduces the risk of a person getting heart disease. fruits have many secrets! many fruits even help in the risk of getting cancer!



fruits are the best food. they are better than junk food like french fries and burgers. fruits are low in calories and fat. they are high in vitamins. did you know that a cherry has almost the same vitamin C as three oranges? vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy.cool eh? the good thing about fruits, is that they have no cholesterol at all. in fact, they help control it!



some fruits have potassium, that is good for people with high blood pressure. they help people maintain a healthy pressure

example of such fruits are honeydew melon, bananas, and my favorite, prunes.

Answer 95

The taste buds are categorized into four classes! Sweet,sour,bitter,salty! The main reason for eating abuse is due to eating for flavor! (Eating because it tastes good)!



Fruit is sweet, and yet you can eat all you want , and never gain a pound! It also provides, vitamins, and minerals, which help the muscles burn fat, and also enrich the blood, wherein, more oxygen can be processed. This is necessary, to all bodily functions! (Oxygen is life)! Fruits have zero fat!



Vegetabbles have these same properties! Vegetables, processed, the identical way as fruit, bear the exact same health benefits as fruit! They have many favors, ranging from bitter to sour, to sweet! However they all have that same natural goodnness, until they are cooked improperly! "They are usually cooked improperly"!



I learned this by learning to eat raw vegetables! I simply wash them, and eat them! Okra, squash, corn, green beans, bell pepper, hot pepper,cauliflower, (broccoli i simply steam to soft texture, and then eat it! It is simply too difficult to eat raw, and carrots, are best raw, but i also eat them cooked)! Zucchini, cucumbers, etc!



I hope you can see an answer here! It really works! I manage this diet, by eating "fruit coctail, and mixed vegetables"!

Answer 99

We're designed by evolution to eat a mainly fruit diet. Look at our modern primate cousins. Fibre, antioxidants, minerals like potassium, a fairly low kilojoule intake compared with meat.

Answer 100

Fruits and vegetables provide essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, and other nutrients that are important for good health.

Compared to people who eat only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts — as part of a healthy diet — are likely to have a reduced risk of chronic diseases. These diseases include stroke, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, and perhaps heart disease and high blood pressure.

Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories, so substituting them for high-calorie foods can be a calorie-reducing strategy.

Fruits contain virtually no fats, discounting the natural sugars they contain. They are also high in fiber which your body needs to be regular.

Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases.

Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. None have cholesterol.



Fruits are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).

Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Fruit sources of potassium include bananas, prunes and prune juice, dried peaches and apricots, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and orange juice.



Dietary fiber from fruits, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods such as fruits help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories.



Whole or cut-up fruits are sources of dietary fiber; fruit juices contain little or no fiber.



Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy.



Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant and those in the first trimester of pregnancy should consume adequate folate, including folic acid from fortified foods or supplements.

1.According to ancient Chinese herbal medicine, eating eight to ten strawberries in the morning cures a hangover.

2.The minerals in the berry replace those that are washed away with the consumption of alcohol.

3.Strawberries are regarded as an aphrodisiac.

4.Strawberry as a cure for rheumatic gout, a condition of recurring attacks of arthritis caused by increased uric acid in the body.

5.The roots also were used to help ease diarrhea and upset stomach, and the leaves brewed into a tea helped suppress dysentery.

6.Today, with the discovery of the benefits of alpha hydroxy acids, the strawberry has taken on a new role. Rubbing the fruit externally over sunburns helps the damaged skin heal faster, while applied after washing the face helps clear blemishes and keep the skin young looking.

7.Strawberries may also be rubbed over the teeth to remove discoloration.

8.Eight medium sized strawberries contain 20% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of folic acid. Folic acid is a compound of the Vitamin B group occurring in many green plants as well. Recent studies show that folic acid not only helps the body metabolize protein and form new red blood cells, but it also prevents neural tube birth defects. Pregnant mothers are now advised to consume 400 micrograms of folic acid daily.

9.Strawberries also contain high amounts of Vitamin C. Eight medium strawberries contain 140% of the RDA of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is not only highly effective in helping the body resist infections, but is also involved in helping the body absorb iron, heal wounds, and maintain healthy gums and bones.

10.Today, Vitamin C is also associated with reducing the risk of cancer. Consuming strawberries can reduce the risk of developing cancer by 50% due to the high levels of Vitamin C as well as folate and phytochemicals—compounds such as the ellagic acid present in strawberries.

11.Strawberries are also low in calories, fat free, and a wonderful source of fiber for regular bowel movements.

12. 50% of this fiber is a water soluble pectin that can lower cholesterol levels.

13. The strawberry is most certainly closer to becoming the world’s most perfect fruit with all abundant vitamins:

Vitamin A - curing night blindness and beriberi.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - growth and maintenance of healty bones, teeth gums, blood vessels and ligaments. Great for healing and immunity to infections.

Vitamin E - formation of red blood cells, as antioxidants for better skin, and activities of enzymes in body.

Vitamin B12 (folic acid and cyanocobalamin) - for growth and reproduction, production of red blood cells and nerveous system functions.

Vitamin B6 (pyrioxine) - For maintenance of healty skin, antibodies manufacturing and digestive and nervous system functioning efficiently.

Vitamin H (biotin) - For various enzyme activities.

Fruits are also found commonly in such manufactured foods as cookies, muffins, yoghurt, ice cream, cakes, and many more. Many fruits are used to make beverages, such as fruit juices (orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, etc) or alcoholic beverages, such as wine or brandy.

Apples are often used to make vinegar. Spices like vanilla, paprika, allspice and black pepper are derived from berries.[25]

Nutritional value

Fruits are generally high in fiber and vitamin C.

Nonfood uses

Because fruits have been such a major part of the human diet, different cultures have developed many different uses for various fruits that they do not depend on as being edible. Many dry fruits are used as decorations or in dried flower arrangements, such as unicorn plant, lotus, wheat, annual honesty and milkweed. Ornamental trees and shrubs are often cultivated for their colorful fruits, including holly, pyracantha, viburnum, skimmia, beautyberry and cotoneaster.

Fruits of opium poppy are the source of the drugs opium and morphine. Osage orange fruits are used to repel cockroaches. Bayberry fruits provide a wax often used to make candles. Many fruits provide natural dyes, e.g. walnut, sumac, cherry and mulberry.[30] Dried gourds are used as decorations, water jugs, bird houses, musical instruments, cups and dishes. Pumpkins are carved into Jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween. The spiny fruit of burdock or cocklebur were the inspiration for the invention of Velcro.

***************************

EXCERPT from link below

http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/fruits_why.html

Fruits are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).

Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Fruit sources of potassium include bananas, prunes and prune juice, dried peaches and apricots, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and orange juice.

Dietary fiber from fruits, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis.

Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy.

Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant and those in the first trimester of pregnancy should consume adequate folate, including folic acid from fortified foods or supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development.

BANANAS

The miracle fruit

http://www.karinya.com/bananas.htm

***************

There are just too MANY benefits from eating fresh fruit to ignore them.

Answer 266

Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants.

Answer 267

No one will ever know the full benefit of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially if grown as near to organic (without artificial fertilizers) or organic, if possible.



My guess is that the Vitamin C, fiber, and other known benefits from fresh strawberries is just the tip of the iceberg, because we simply don't know all the things that are in there.

Eating fruit provides health benefits — people who eat more fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Fruits provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body.



Health benefits



Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases.

Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for type 2 diabetes.

Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables as part of an overall healthy diet may protect against certain cancers, such as mouth, stomach, and colon-rectum cancer.

Diets rich in foods containing fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Eating fruits and vegetables rich in potassium as part of an overall healthy diet may reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and may help to decrease bone loss.

Eating foods such as fruits that are low in calories per cup instead of some other higher-calorie food may be useful in helping to lower calorie intake.

Nutrients

Food sources of the nutrients in bold can be found in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Click on the nutrient name to link to the food sources table.



Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. None have cholesterol.

Fruits are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).

Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Fruit sources of potassium include bananas, prunes and prune juice, dried peaches and apricots, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and orange juice.

Dietary fiber from fruits, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods such as fruits help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories. Whole or cut-up fruits are sources of dietary fiber; fruit juices contain little or no fiber.

Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy.

Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant and those in the first trimester of pregnancy should consume adequate folate, including folic acid from fortified foods or supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development.

FRUITS maybe regarded as Healthy only with a balanced fruit intake, balance certainly helps improve health.

Anything in excess OR scanty to the Human body results into damage in a visible & invisible state.



FRUITs - WATER - and - HUMAN BODY ?

A MANs body accounts for about 60% of water and a WOMANs body for 50%.

The body loses 1.5 litres of water daily.

An average diet may provide 600 ml of free water and the remaining must be drunk. The kidney must form atleast 600 ml of urine to get rid of poisonous matter.

About 500 ml water evaporates from skin, 300 ml from Lungs and 100 ml from faeces.



Fruits are life saving too. Most of the fruits contain 70% water and more.During dehydration(loss of water in body) fruits act valuable role as ORS.(oral substitute).



HANDLING FRUITS

'Phytotherapy' or treatment with fruit and vegetable extracts as 'Nutriceuticals' an umbrella term for dietary supplements and provide alternative herbal cures, these act as health tonics to supply vim, vigour and vitality.



Fruits act as scavengers in our body and drive away toxins.

It contains pure water, sugar, vitamins, minerals, alkali, organic acids, proteins, fat, fibre and some aromatic compounds which give sweet smell.

By eating fruits we take the already digested sugar.

It decreases acidity in blood, thereby reducing the workload of Lungs, Liver and kidney etc.

It contains less protein and fat making digestion easier.

Fibre cleanses the stomach. It acts as anti oxidants.



MEDICINAL USES(Strawberry)

1- The leaves are mildly astringent and diuretic.

DIURETIC - Increases the secretion and dischrge of urine.

ASTRINGENT - Arrests secretion or bleeding.

2- As strawberry contains vitamin C more than lemon and orange, it can be used used against scurvy.

3- It is a refreshing tonic.



EXAMPLE : STRAWBERRY FRUIT

Botanical Name:Fragaria chiloensis

Family Name:Rosaceae

English Name:Strawberry

Hindi Name:Rasbhari

FRUIT PROPERTIES(Strawberry)

Refreshing, nutritive, tonic, astringent, diuretic.

FOOD VALUE:(100 gms)(Strawberry)

Moisture -87.8%, Protein -0.7%, Mineral matter -0.4%, Fat -0.2%, Fibre -1.1%, Carbohydrate -9.8%, Calcium -0.3mg, Phosphorus -0.03mg, Iron -1.8mg, Vitamin C -52mg, Nicotinic acid -0.2mg, Thiamine (Vitamin B1) -0.5mg, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) -0.08mg,

Copper -0.02mg, Iodine -0.1-to-0.03 mg

The flavour of the fruit is attributed to the presence of volatile esters.



IMAGINE

If simple drinking WATER could prove to be Disastrous and Beneficial for the Health, Imagine the role of FRUIT Juices with all of the Proteins, Minerals, Vitamins etc

***It is estimated that DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) causes more deaths in the world comparing to AIDS & Cancer.

***Most of the DVTs are caused by dehydration (fluid loss in body)

***source: http://www.dvtcases.com



CASE STUDIES reveal miraculous recoveries and treatments with a simple water therapy of balanced pH water intake for long duration, restores natural body health,

***The baby will remain alkaline while breast feeding, but will begin to reduce in alkalinity and increases with acidic, once put on infant cereals.



Example:1:

Irregular pH balances of plain drinking water has been found to be the major cause for ACIDOSIS, acidic properties in blood & whole body resulting (in the long run) into degenerative changes of the body leading towards failure/dysfunction of organs, a weak immune system and a weak body finally leading to irreparable damages causing Obesity, Diabetese, Cancer, Heart disorders, Arthritis, Renal failure etc...



Example:2:

"The excess intake of CARROTS for long duration, a glass full etc for months together, forms Vitamin-A in Liver excessively, Liver is store house for Vitamin-A and it gets damaged with extra Vitamin-A"



Example:3:

"Extra amounts of Vitamin-C makes the bones lose some stuff say: CALCIUM etc thus making the bones weaker in the long long run"



Example:4:

"There is a different reaction of the juices in digestion process if consumed before meals OR after meals" &... many more examples ...

Fruits are nutrient dense containing a lot of vitamins and minerals. Most fruits are very high in antioxidants and other phytochemicals that may contribute to good health. Antioxidants are believed to neutralize free radicals which damage our cells. Plus fruits are high in fiber which is also good for us.

Answer 320

Well, in addition to the vitamins they contain, a lot of fruits have antioxidants in them as well... so they help keep your body healthy by protecting body cells from free radicals. But I guess it depends on the fruit as to what particular benefits you'll get. The potassium in bananas is good for thwarting muscle cramps, the fiber in apples is good for digestion, the vitamin C in oranges is good for your immune system...

It does contain many vitamins and minerals (depending on which fruit you are eating), but most of the nutritional material in fruit is natural sugar. You should only eat the recommended serving needed per day and your good to go.

Answer 337

Plants naturally absorb the sun's energy so that gets passed on to us. When we eat a chicken that ate the plant we aren't absorbing as much energy available to do biological work. Then there are vitamins and minerals we need.

Answer 338

Fruits generally are nutritious and are good sources of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients and substances that are important for good health. They are natural sources of energy that can give the body many nutrients you need to keep going. They also contain other naturally occurring substances that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Their fibers content also play a great task in everyone’s health.



The antioxidants in fruits also became a great attraction to many as they are proven to play a major role in keeping the whole system healthy plus their great role in cancer prevention. Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against the effects of free radicals which can damage cells and cause mutations and may cause cardiovascular diseases and cancer.



Eating more generous amounts of fruits as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. In conclusion, eating more fruits could tremendously improve your health.



How?.... The following are some of the details of how eating more fruits can improve your health….



A. Fruits provide vitamins and minerals, which improves health and prevent diseases.



>>Vitamin A (beta-carotene) and vitamins E and C which are essential vitamins and antioxidants which protect the body from damage caused by oxygen free radicals and lower your risk of heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure.

>> Vitamin A plays an important role in vision, bone growth, reproduction, cell division and differentiation. It helps regulate the immune system. Lemon, apple, apricots, cantaloupe melon, and mango are some of the good fruit sources.

>>Vitamin C helps to heal cuts and wounds and keep teeth and gums healthy. It can prevent and may cure a wide range of diseases such as the common cold and heart disease. The main form of oxidized Vitamin C in the body may also reduce neurological deficits and mortality following stroke. There are lots of potential benefits a Vitamin C could give which most of them are still on the process of finding stronger grounds of evidences. Some good sources of Vitamin C include guava, kiwi fruits, papaya, citrus fruits, mango, strawberries and many more.

>>Vitamin E – considered as the most biological antioxidant in humans protecting cells against the effects of free radicals. It also plays a role in immune function, in DNA repair, and other metabolic processes. Though it still needs stronger evidences, it is believed that it could possibly contribute in the treatment of some forms of heart diseases, cancer, glaucoma, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Fruit sources include sea buckthorn berries, kiwi fruit, raw mango and tomatoes.

>> Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Bananas and oranges are good fruit sources.

>> Folate and Folic Acid (vitamin B9 or B complex) can help reduce the risk of development of megaloblastic anemia and certain serious and common birth defects. Healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect. Adequate folate intake can also slow down the mental health decline. Citrus fruits are good sources of folate.

>> Vitamin B6 is needed by enzymes involved in protein metabolism and is also essential for red blood cell metabolism. It is needed to make hemoglobin and also helps increase the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin. Banana, tomatoes, and avocado are good fruit sources.

>>There are lots more of vitamins and minerals fruit can give. Every fruit has their special contents. For example bananas contain chemicals that stimulate the production of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that can regulate moods and prevent depression. Bananas also contain some elements that can give you a colorful skin.

>>The essential elements in fruits such as protein, carbohydrates, and fats are good contributors in having a good health as well.



B. Eating more fruits can provide antioxidants that can prevent cancer and cardiovascular diseases.



>>Quercetin - can help reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer. It is a flavonol naturally-occurring in large amounts in APPLES and onions.

>> Ellagitannins (ET) - antioxidants that break down to metabolites known as urolithins - inhibits the growth of human prostate cancer cells. It can decrease the systolic blood pressure by 21 percent and significantly improve blood flow to the hearts. It can possibly prevent neurodegeneration as well which leads to Alzheimer’s disease. It is abundant in pomegranate juice.

>>Anthocyanins reportedly slow the growth of colon cancer cells by 50 to 80% and also killed roughly 20 per cent of the cancer cells while having little effect on healthy cells. The compounds responsible for the rich dark colors of grapes, radishes, purple carrots and bilberries are rich sources.

>> Lycopene fights prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Guava, tomato and all tomato products (tomato sauce, paste and ketchup), watermelon and pink grapefruit and all fruits with reddish color are rich in lycopene.

>> Neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acids are particularly effective at combating the superoxide anion radical thought to be one of the primary causes of cancer. Dried plums or prunes are good sources.

>> Antioxidants in black raspberries prevent the formation of blood vessels that feed developing cancers by reducing the production of growth factors for the cells that make up the blood vessels.



C. Eating more fruits provide antioxidants that can prevent illness and diseases.



>> Flavonoids have strong antioxidant properties with various beneficial effects on health, due to their antiviral, anti-allergic, antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and antioxidant activities.Good fruit sources include citrus fruits, apples and berries.

>>Glutathione and cryptoxanthin improve men fertility and may help prevent damage to sperm that causes them to become sluggish and lose the ability to fertilize an egg. Papaya, oranges, watermelon, avocadoes, and grapefruit are good sources.

>>The flavonoids and athocyanins in tart cherry juice has the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which relieve muscle pains.

>>Pectin and antioxidant flavonoid content of apples help lower the risk of heart disease and cancer.

>>Group of tannins called proanthocyanidins can help fight bladder infections and other bacterial infections by altering the potentially pathogenic bacteria. They are found primarily in cranberries.



D. Eating more fruits provide adequate fibers which can provide many health benefits including controlling your weight.



>> Diets naturally high in fiber can improve the gastrointestinal health and the glucose tolerance and the insulin response, reduce hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other coronary heart disease risk factors, and reduce the risk of developing some cancers.

>> Good intake of fermentable fiber from berries and other fresh fruits reduce risk of obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, and GI disorders like constipation, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhoids, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, and colon cancer.

>> Most fruits are naturally low in fat and calories and are filling thus eating fruits makes a person feel full on fewer calories because fruits are lower in calories and higher in fiber than most other foods. The water and fiber in fruits add volume to your dishes, so you can eat the same amount of food with fewer calories and would help in controlling your weight.(Fruits baked in a pie or dripping in butter,avocados, coconut and olives, contain high fats.)



E. Eating more fruits give lots of fun and allow good time spent with family and friends.



>>Such bring healthy impacts brought about by strengthened relationship with significant others while enjoying the different tastes of fruits.



Well, there are still lots of ways fruits can improve your body health. Along with fruits, vegetables work with them side by side thus both should always be considered in having a great healthy meal.
