Fruit Nutritional Facts, Nature's Natural Medicine


Fruits are packed with vitamins, anti oxidants and minerals as well as phyto nutrients and fruits are one of nature's natural medicines. There is nothing more pleasing to the eye than a bowl of colourful fruit on the table. Here are some fruit nutritional facts and why we should eat fresh fruit daily.

Fresh fruits contain simple sugars and are low in fats and calories fruit also provides the body with numerous soluble vitamins and digestible and soluble dietary fiber. Fruit can be eaten to relieve constipation and can also help lower cholesterol levels. Most fruits especially berries are filled with vitamin C, flavonoids and poly phenol which are all powerful anti oxidants.

These fruit nutritional facts have been scientifically proved to boost the immune system which fights off illness and protects us from diseases and various types of malignant cancers. It has also been proved that fruit contains a far higher content of anti oxidant than vegetables and grains. The high content of vitamins and minerals found in fruit as well as micro nutrients protect and rejuvenate the body's cells as well as the organs and minimize the ageing process.

The list of fruit nutritional facts is endless and many fresh fruits as well as dried fruits are eaten for medicinal purposes as the nutrients in fruit have been known to aid people suffering from hair loss, memory loss, osteoporosis, rheumatism, eye diseases and many more illnesses. Certain fruits prevent colds and influenza during the winter months. Fruit also helps with weight loss.

Here is a list of fruits as well as their nutritional values such as apples as the saying goes an apple a day keeps the doctor away as apples have a high content of fiber as well as Vitamin C, B, D as well as calcium and magnesium and there is a minimal folate and iron content. Many other fruits also have similar values to apples but apples really surpass all other fruits when it boils down to nutrition.

Fruit nutritional facts state that apples have a high content of phyto chemicals, anti inflammatory agents and procyanidin which protects one from having allergic reactions. But be aware as the pips found in apples contain small amounts of cyanide and even though apple cores are biodegradable never throw them down on the ground as birds eat the fruit and some die from cyanide poisoning. And remember to always wash fruit thoroughly before eating due to the deposits of pesticides.

Keep Yourself Healthy With Chemically Untouched, Natural Organic Fruits


It is quite easy to find fruits in open market. We know the fruits come chemical treated at various stages. Most fruits we consume are grown and preserved with chemical aid.

Think how a fruit is grown in a farmer's orchard. The plant is supported by chemical fertilizers. These fertilizers help the plants grow fast and yield more fruits. Abundance of pesticides and insecticides are applied at the orchards to prevent pests and insects. In many cases of mechanized harvesting, chemicals are also applied for quick falling of unripe fruits.

It goes without saying these chemicals ultimately accumulate in human bodies, causing several health problems at a later period.

Naturally occurring fruits are hard to come across and usually involves efforts from your own part to take a trekking to the wilderness. If you are at the local markets near hill stations of Kerala, your luck rate is higher to find naturally bred fruits grown in thick dense forests. Not only Kerala South India, but tropical countries of Africa are also rich source of natural fruits that are not contaminated by chemicals.

Wild plants generally produce lesser number of fruits and the size will also be smaller. Such fruits however have the advantages that they are never fumigated or otherwise chemically treated for bigger size, better taste or large quantity produce.

The grapes you buy from general market have pesticides on its skin. This pesticide is not quickly rinsed away. The result will be more chemicals in your body.

There are also scalable differences in the performance of naturally grown fruits and chemically treated artificial fruits.

While natural fruits stay fresh for a few days after falling down or harvesting, chemically treated fruits rot in a day or two. This is the same for all kinds of fruits.

Natural fruits tend to bear highly functional seeds. Most artificially cultivated fruits have seedless varieties or varieties with poorly developed seeds. The artificial fruits generally are in the 'sterile' zone. I.e. they are not capable of reproduction. All of the examples suggest that cultivated and chemical treated fruits are inferior to naturally occurring fruits.

It is not practicable for everyone to find naturally occurring fruits from the forests. The closest healthy alternative to going to forests is growing organic crop. Though the plants doesn't get a wild environment where there is the right supply of temperature, water, bio-nutrients etc; chemical treating is absent.

No GM crops apply here. Organic food is fresh and doesn't inject harmful chemicals to your body.

Vegans claiming to eat only healthy food do have a challenge before them to ensure if they are eating healthy fruits.
