The 6 Best Reasons To Eat Fruit For Good Health
Fruits have always been celebrated for their delightful flavors, vibrant colors, and diverse textures. However, their true power lies in the remarkable health benefits they offer, especially when it comes to detoxification and using them in detox smoothies. In this article, we’ll explore how fruits play a pivotal role in detoxifying the body and creating healing, detox smoothies. From their rich enzyme and fiber content to their body-alkalizing properties, fruits emerge as natural detox champions. Click the link throughout to dig deeper into these amazing fruits and their benefits. 1. Enzymes and Fiber: Detox Dynamo One of the primary benefits of consuming fruits is their abundance of enzymes and dietary fiber. Enzymes are natural catalysts that support digestion and nutrient absorption. Fruits like papaya and pineapple are renowned for their enzyme content, such as papain and bromelain, which aid in protein digestion and detoxification. Fiber, a detox powerhouse, promotes regular bowel movements and prevents constipation. This natural detoxifier also helps control blood sugar levels and reduces cholesterol, lowering the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Read more about enzymes 2. Alkalizing the Body: pH Harmony Optimal bodily functions thrive in a slightly alkaline environment. However, modern diets, often high in processed foods and excessive animal products, can lead to body acidity. Fruits come to the rescue as they are often high in potassium which naturally alkalises and helps restore pH balance. Surprisingly, even fruits with an acidic taste, like lemons and limes, have an alkalizing effect when metabolized. Regularly consuming these fruits assists in maintaining the body’s pH balance, which supports overall well-being and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Read more about alkalising your diet 3. Hydration and Detoxification: Nature’s Cleanse Your body is 60% water and most fruits are up to 90% water. Fruits are natural hydrators, particularly beneficial during scorching summer months. Adequate hydration is essential for proper digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation. Furthermore, many fruits possess detoxifying properties that facilitate the elimination of toxins and free radicals. Water-rich fruits like watermelon and cucumber assist in purging toxins from the body, contributing to radiant skin and internal cleansing. Read more about water 4. Natural Sugars and Appetite Control Fruits contain natural sugars, such as fructose, offering a rapid and wholesome energy source. Unlike refined sugars found in processed foods, fruit sugars are accompanied by fiber, vitamins, and minerals, resulting in slow sugar absorption. This gradual release of energy curbs blood sugar spikes and crashes, reducing mood swings and energy slumps. Moreover, fruit fiber helps regulate appetite by promoting a feeling of fullness. This is particularly valuable for those seeking weight management or desiring to curb unhealthy snacking habits. Read more about fruit and sugar 5. Antioxidant Enrichment: Guardians of Well-Being Fruits are celebrated for their high antioxidant content, instrumental in combatting oxidative stress and preventing chronic diseases. Antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, neutralize free radicals that can inflict cellular damage and inflammation. Berries, such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, shine as antioxidant champions. These diminutive wonders not only enhance skin radiance but also bolster brain health and may thwart age-related cognitive decline. Read more about antioxidants 6. Versatile Culinary Allies: Detox Smoothies Detox smoothies are an ingenious way to harness the detoxifying prowess of fruits. These flavorful concoctions combine fruits and often vegetables into a single, convenient drink. Packed with fiber and nutrients, detox smoothies support detoxification, enhance digestion, and offer a myriad of health benefits.

Ultimate Herbal SLIM – Shopping list and eating plan made easy
The central idea of the SLIM eating plan is this: Eat unprocessed natural living foods and connect directly with nature, especially air, light, and water. The list below should give you a good stock of ingredients for your ideal meals. Try to avoid getting things, not on this list i.e. processed food. You can also choose from the full range of recipes available on the quick recipe finder page click here Almond, Coconut, rice, soy, or un-homogenized whole milk Apple juice Apples/oranges Apricots Asparagus Avocado Baked beans Bananas Bea sprouts (alfalfa or mung) Beetroot (fresh or canned) Blueberries Broccoli Brown rice Cabbage red/white Capsicum Carrots Cauliflower Celery Soft Cheese (cottage or Brie)) Cherries Chickpeas (garbanzos), Dahl and lentils Chicken breast Cider vinegar Corn on the cob Courgettes Cucumber Dates, prunes, raisins, or figs Eggs Fresh herbs (a variety) Fresh fish, or canned tuna and salmon Garlic Herbal teas Herbs and spices Honey Hummus Kale Kiwifruit Kumara (sweet potato) Lemons or lemon juice Leeks Lettuce Mango, pawpaw and passionfruit Millet Mung beans for sprouting Mushrooms Nuts (mixed) Olives and Olive oil Onions Oranges Peaches Peanut butter (Raw) Pineapple Potatoes Pumpkin Quinoa Raspberries Rolled oats (for porridge) Sunflower and pumpkin seeds Silverbeet Spinach Spring onions Squeezed orange juice Strawberries Tomatoes (fresh and canned) Tomato juice Unsweetened yogurt All other whole vegetables and fruit are allowed Meal Recommendations These are my favourite suggestions. In the morning: Choose a smoothie from our recipe page or try some fruit and yoghurt. You could have ‘rolled oats porridge’ or ‘eggs on raw spinach or toast’ both once a week. If you do get some bread, try and get the heaviest brick seed loaf you can find at your local bakery and only use 2-3 slices a week. During the day: You could use leftovers from dinner, soups, curries, stir fry, or salads. You could add some tinned fish, avocado, tofu, or chicken breast, but it’s best to keep it vegetarian if possible. Snack on fruit as you feel the need for energy. You can always make a cup of tea or another smoothie as alternatives. Dinners: It’s good to stick to soups, curries, stir fry, or salads and avoid white rice, pasta, buns, or other alternatives to bread like naan, pita, tacos, tortillas, nachos, etc. Try to only have meat 2-3 times a week or less, and stick to chicken or fish if possible. It’s easier to digest. Increase the spiciness of your meals, as this helps boost metabolic rate.
