Fruit is known to be humankind's natural diet. It is the diet of Leonardo da Vince (according to his notebooks), mathematicians Einstein and Pythagoras. It has been advocated by everyone from philosophers such as Plato and Nietzsche, to political leaders such as Benjamin, Franklin and Ghandhi to modern pop icons such as Paul McCartney and Bob Marley. The once-upon-a-time fruitarian Steve Jobs used a fruit to name his computer company.
Fruit is the natural true anti-depressant
Judith Wurtman, Ph.D., research scientist at the Massachusets Institute of Technology, finds that eating fruits can help you feel anxiety-free and relaxed. The amino acid tryptophan, that may also be found in fruits, helps the brain produce serotonin. Low levels of serotonin are associated with insomnia, anxiety and depression. Pineapples are rich source of tryptophan, which may help increase serotonin levels and help increase serotonin levels and help improve one's sense of overall well-being. Fruits also contain thousands of antioxidants and phytochemicals that may help promote brain health. Many brain disorders incur oxidative damages according to observation done by Lester Packer, Ph.D., nutritional biochemist at the University of California at Berkeley. Therefore, antioxidants may be especially helpful to people already suffering brain damage, or may help prevent it. So packing your diet with fruits is totally essential. Let's all be smart and enjoy the fruits and the labor they do for our mind and
body.Take fruits 2x a day
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a real fruit is good for you. But how much of this sweet stuff do you really need? Nutrition experts recommend at least 2 servings of real fruit or fruit juice everyday for a healthier life.
Let's break it down.. One solid serving would be half cup of canned fruit. If you want to drink it, 3/4 cup of 100% fruit juice is also equal to 1 serving. Whether you belong to the field of Einstein or McCartney, 2-a-day fruit servings will do the same wonders for you.
And those wonders include VITAMIN C that may help prevent common infections. PHYTOCHEMICALS that stimulate enzymes that fight carcinogens (cancer-causing agents). And FIBER that flushes wastes out of your digestive system faster. When you get rid of toxins everyday, you keep certain cancer's and heart disease at bay. A healthy body complements a healthy mind.
