Fruit Pictures
Fruit
1. any product of plant growth useful to humans or animals.
2. the developed ovary of a seed plant with its contents and accessory parts, as the pea pod, nut, tomato, or pineapple.
3. the edible part of a plant developed from a flower, with any accessory tissues, as the peach, mulberry, or banana.
Energy
When you look at this table you see that one banana and a few strawberries give you as much as energy as an
entrecote! You will not feel as fulfilled, but your body really can extract as much of energy out of fruit.
Proteins
- Fat - Sugar
As the energy fruit contains consists of sugars the fruit is digested in 30 minutes. This chemical process
has no toxic waste products that are difficult to remove from the body and it even stimulates the removing of toxic elements.
The energy animal products contain consists of fat and proteins. Because of the high amount of proteins it is digested
in 6-8 hours. This chemical process does produce toxic waiste-products that have to be removed from your body.
Water
The water percentage of fruit (80%) is higher than that of meat (15%) and comes more near the water percentage of the
human body (80%).
For the largest part fruit consists of water just like the human body does
Like 80% of our body
is water so does 80% of fruit consist of water!
If you think about it, it's logical for the human body to consume food
that contains as much water as the body itself. The nutrition that meets that requirement is fruit. There is no other food
than fruit on this planet that contains on average 80% water.
Vegetables also contain a lot of water and are therefore
second best.
Fruit is 100% bad-cholesterol free
No doubt about this argument. Too much bad-cholesterol is not
good for our bodies and fruit doesn't contain bad-cholesterol. Animal products like meat and dairy contain a lot of bad-cholesterol.
Fruit stimulates the memory
If you didn't know yet: fruit is the ultimate brain fuel. Fruit has a positive effect
on our brains. The way this works still has to be found out and many scientists are looking into it as we speak. What we do
know is that if you consume fruit effectively, your brains can recall information faster and more easily.
Fibers
We do know now that a diet with plenty of fibers helps against corpulence, high blood pressure, and other factors that
increase the chance for a heart disease. The consumed amount of fibers maybe even a more important factor than the amount
of fat that is consumed by people!
The food that contains these healthy (natural) fibers is.... right: fruit! (vegetables
as well). The American Heart Association advises to consume 25 to 30 grams of fibers out of fresh fruits and/or vegetables.
