Fruits are really important for your everyone’s diet.

These Top 10 Reasons


Why You Need To Eat Fruit will make you run to the supermarket to buy more
fruit. The health benefits are truly amazing. Babies, kids, and adults should
eat fruit everyday and make it a habit. A good healthy habit.

This Is Why You Need To Eat Fruit


Fresh fruits are a great option for breakfast, snack or dessert. Most fruits are
sweet and ready for you to eat without cooking or preparing a recipe. Take an
apple, a peach, or a banana and just enjoy. Remember to always have fresh
fruit available at home. If you have good choices available, you will make
good choices.

Children are now eating highly processed snacks that are nutritionally poor
and a threat to their future health. These products are loaded with artificial
colors, flavors, refined sugars and are super high in calories. Kids are eating
more refined sugars than ever before. The Center for Disease Control and
Prevention’s statistics are alarming. By 2050, 1 in 3 people will have diabetes.
You can improve and change that by switching many of these unhealthy
snack options for fruit and homemade recipes.

Eating more fresh fruit will help you stay away from processed food. Fruit
comes from nature not a factory. The closer to nature, the better for your
health. Fruits are naturally low in fat, calories, and have key nutrients that
your child needs to grow. Fruit helps protect you from illnesses.

Top 10 Reasons Why You Need To Eat Fruit


1. Eating lots of fruit lowers the risk of developing disease

2. Fruit makes you strong

3. Water content in fruit makes your skin soft and well hydrated

4. All fruit has antioxidants which combats free radicals


5. Fruit is high in fiber, helping ward off fats and cholesterol from the body

6. Fruit is nutrient dense, and provide our bodies with vitamins and minerals

7. Fruit makes you glow

8. Fruit boosts brain power

9. Fruit makes you feel energized and healthy

10. Fruit keeps your digestive system happy

Here is a picture of my son having a fruit salad for breakfast. There is nothing
better than starting the day with fresh fruit straight from nature. Kiwi, mango
and strawberries. Yummy! Offer variety and please don’t give up if your child
is picky with certain fruits. It takes time to accept a new flavor. My son did not
like kiwi until the 10th or 11th time I offered it to him. It is now one of his
favorite fruits.

Eating more fruit yourself will make you a good role model for your kids. I am
now eating more fruit than ever before because I want to teach my kids
healthy eating habits. You will have more credibility when you tell them to eat
an apple instead of a cookie if you have an apple in your hand. Remember
children are great imitators. My kids both love fruit and I make sure they have
1-2 servings per day. Start early when they are babies and create healthy
eating habits.

Did you know that eating plenty of fresh fruit might also boost your child’s
performance in school?

A 2008 study published in the “Journal of School Health” notes that a diet rich
in fruits and vegetables results in higher test scores. A healthy diet that
includes fruit can also increase your child’s focus in the classroom so he is
able to learn new information, as well as retain what he’s learned. That’s
really amazing!

Eating fruit provides many health benefits and people who eat more fruits are
likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases and cancer. Now that I
eat more fruit I can see my skin glowing, I have more energy, and I feel
better. Fruits provide nutrients that are vital for health and maintenance of
your body.

Pops ideas or an easy to make Homemade Healthy Gummies recipe. You can

and perfect treat.

Remember that you are in charge of buying the groceries and your kids will
eat what’s available in your kitchen. Always have fruits available for healthy
snacks. If you have another great fruit recipe, please share it with me. I am
always looking for new creative and healthy fun fruit recipes.

Nutrients

 Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and calories. None have
cholesterol.
 Fruits are sources of many essential nutrients that are underconsumed,
including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and folate (folic acid).
 Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Fruit
sources of potassium include bananas, prunes and prune juice, dried
peaches and apricots, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and orange juice.
 Dietary fiber from fruits, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce
blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is
important for proper bowel function. It helps reduce constipation and
diverticulosis. Fiber-containing foods such as fruits help provide a feeling
of fullness with fewer calories. Whole or cut-up fruits are sources of dietary
fiber; fruit juices contain little or no fiber.
 Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all body tissues, helps heal
cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth and gums healthy.
 Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of
childbearing age who may become pregnant should consume adequate
folate from foods, and in addition 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from
fortified foods or supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects,
spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development.

Health benefits

 As part of an overall healthy diet, eating foods such as fruits that are lower
in calories per cup instead of some other higher-calorie food may be useful
in helping to lower calorie intake.
 Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet
may reduce risk for heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.
 Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits as part of an overall
healthy diet may protect against certain types of cancers.
 Adding fruit can help increase intake of fiber and potassium which are
important nutrients that many Americans do not get enough of in their diet.
