Fruits! No doubt it is one of the best
treats from the Mother Nature. Fruits are tasty, with
sweet-sour-sometimes tangy flavors. Fruits also contain plenty of
substances needed by our body to stay healthy, such as vitamins,
minerals, fibers, and antioxidants. Eating a lot of fruits also gives
positive effects on beauty, since fruits have plenty of vitamins and
antioxidants that help fight early aging
Avoid Indigestion
Roughly, fruits contain only water, sugar, vitamins, minerals and
fibers. Some fruits may contain protein and fats, but not as much as
eggs, meat or dairy products. Therefore, fruits is easier to digest, and
the fiber will just pass to the guts.
Actually, the fermentation of fruits never happens in our stomach.
The stomach discomforts or indigestion happen because we “force” our
stomach to produce various enzymes in big quantity early in the morning,
and also because the minerals and proteins from foods and fruits bound
together, forcing the stomach to produce even more enzymes.
Absorbs More Vitamins and Minerals
Fruits high in vitamin C such as oranges, guava, apples, grapefruits,
lemons, pears , berries and kiwis are good to be consumed 15-30 minutes
before meal. Vitamin C helps our intestines absorb iron more
effectively, prevent us to get anemia.
Empty stomach also absorb vitamins and minerals more effectively than
when the fruits are mixed with other foods, since mixing them can cause
the minerals and proteins bound together, making it more difficult to
digest. Vitamins and minerals are needed by our body cells to make them
work and regenerate properly.
Controls Blood Sugar Level
When we just wake up, our body cells desperately need sugar to
recharge themselves, especially blood cells and brain cells. Fruits
contain sugars, which will be absorbed quickly by the cells, thus
preventing us to get hypoglycemia. The sugar is in form of fructose, so
is low glycemic. Low glycemic sugar is good for diabetics since it is
absorbed not as rapidly as sucrose, thus keeping the blood sugar level
in normal state. Fruits also contain fiber that helps us to feel full,
so we don’t need to take plenty of carbs, which can result in high blood
sugar level.
Controls Cholesterol
Fruits contain soluble fibers such as pectins. These soluble fibers
will bind with LDL (bad cholesterol), preventing LDL to be absorbed in
the intestines. Fruits like avocado contain plenty of HDL (good
cholesterol). HDL will bind with LDL in the intestines, and just like
the fibers do, HDL will prevent LDL to be absorbed in the intestines.
Prevents Constipation
Both the soluble and insoluble fibers contained in fruits give more
mass to the stool. The solluble fibers will attract water from out of
the colon. This makes easier to go to toilet every morning. With the
right consistency of the stool, we also don’t need to strain during
defecating process, thus preventing us to get thrombosed hemorrhoids.
Gives More Energy
Eating fruits in the morning gives the needed sugar to our body
cells, especially blood cells and brain cells. This makes us more alert
and feel energized at the same time. Moreover, fruits have vitamins and
minerals that can boost our energy level. The vitamins and minerals make
the body cells work properly, and if needed, the body cells will
transform excessive fats into energy.
Detoxification
Antioxidants, vitamins and minerals contained in fruits will help the
liver to detoxify the body by putting away free radicals and healing
minor inflammations of our body cells. The detoxification process will
make all the body cells work properly, thus we will feel more energized.
Detoxification also play big role in delaying aging process. This
prevent disease and disorders from aging process, such as heart disease,
atherosclerosis, alzheimer and dementia.
