Why should we have five to nine fresh pieces a day,
organically grown if possible?

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. This is very useful information for people who
are preparing for an exam.
Fruit and the memory
Fruit has a very positive effect on the brains just like
carrots. So if you want to stimulate your brain
functions you have to eat much fresh fruit and carrots
(raw).
One of the substances that fruit contains are natural
sugars. They stimulate the brain so we can think
faster and recall information more quickly. There are
many other substances that fruit contains which
scientists think they stimulate the brain. How this
works and which substance is responsible for which
effect is still unknown as of yet and research is done
at this very moment.
Students: improve your exam results!
We
would like to tell you more about how students can
improve their results by changing their eating habits
before they have an exam. Fruit is the ultimate brain
fuel!
You can actually improve your test results simply by
changing your eating habits between waking up and doing
the exam. The big trick is to consume fruit effectively.
Have only fruit but as much as you want before you do
your test and avoid the brain blocking foods white
flour, refined white sugar, meat and dairy.
Check it out yourself once and you'll notice that you
can think much more clear and faster if you have only
eaten the right and light stuff before the exam.
Afterwards you can have whatever you want!
Fruit
The
effect fruit has on your brain is that it makes you
think faster and recall information more easily. This is
only an example. There is much more to learn about
nutrition. There is also nutrition that has a negative
effect on your brains.
Brain blockers
Here
is a list of things that have a negative effect on the
functioning of the brains:
-
White flour, especially in combination with cheese.
This forms a sticky substance in the intestines that
costs much energy to digest. Much blood has to be sent
to the digestive system so it cannot be sent to your
head;
-
Refined white sugar;
-
Turkey; it contains a toxic element that has a strong
tiring effect, it makes you sleepy;
-
The combination of proteins (meat) and starch
(potatoes). These two foods are burnt in a different
way. It will cost your body more energy to burn them
together than apart from each other.
For more theoretical information see:
Sugar in fruit.
Inform yourself
Not
only fruit stimulates your brains, another type of food
that does is carrots. Eat some raw carrots at least once
a week to stimulate your memory.

The idea that fruit is an expensive nutrition
Did
you always think that fruit was an expensive product? Take a
good look at how much money you spend on other food. It could
be worth something to replace some of those expenses with
fruit. We think that fruit is the healthiest food on earth and
therefore it is well worth spending our money on.
The miraculous
healing effects of fruit
Spectacular stories about
people that cured from uncurable diseases by a strict diet of
raw fruits and/or vegetables are well known but do we want to
believe them? We still don't know that much about fruit and
its contents.
Freshly made
juices are a very good source of vitamins and minerals.
Vitamins activate enzymes which act as catalysts in hundreds
of thousands of chemical reactions that take place throughout
our body.
Enzymes produce energy and are essential for digesting,
absorbing and converting food into body tissue. Without
vitamins, enzymes could not carry out their work, and we could
not live.
Our body can absorb more vitamins and minerals if we drink
fresh juices than if we eat the fruits and vegetables whole.
By blending fruits and vegetables to make juices and
smoothies, we break down the fibers to release the trapped
nutrients.
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. In practice this means: have
five to nine portions of fresh fruits or vegetables a day.
Check out the dietary Recommendations of the American Heart
Association
here.
Fruit makes you feel better
Several stories have told us about people that were frequently
depressed and how they got out of their depression slowly but
surely after consuming substantial amounts of fresh fruit on a
regular basis. Eating much fruit can have a mysterious healing
effect on human beings. Even better is to drink a lot of
freshly squeezed fruit drinks on a regular basis. It will take
approximately 30 days until you start to notice the effects.
Don't forget to drink these smoothies 20 minutes before the
consumption of other meals. This way the fruit will not
ferment in the stomach and the nutritious elements can be
absorbed by the blood effectively.
Ethical reasons to eat fruit
Fruit doesn't have to be killed and slaughtered before you can
eat it. The fruits are just hanging there waiting to be picked
by you!
This ethical argument (often used by vegetarians and vegans to
not eat meat) claims that fruit is a non-animal food. Many
people see animals, especially mammals, as living creatures
just like humans. There are religions that say that animals
have souls like us. The native Americans first asked the
animal's spirit if they could kill it before they did so.
Fruit has never been said to have a soul and thus can be eaten
without causing any harm.
Ethical or religious arguments aside, we think it's a shame
that we as human beings don't eat much fruit when there is
such an abundant assortment of fruits and vegetables
available.
Fruit is the most natural food
When you see a piece of fruit hanging from a tree that tree is
telling you something: "Eat my fruits and help me spread my
seeds." That’s how nature works. Humans eat vegetables
and fruits and consequently help the plants to spread. Humans
use animals to work the land to grow the plants and trees that
produce these fruits and vegetables. In more and more people's
opinion this is the way it was all meant to be.
A human diet
A
healthy diet should consist for a great deal of freshly
squeezed fruit juices, raw fruits and vegetables. Some tips:
Detoxification
Stimulants cannot give the body what it
needs. Only natural food can promote a healthy and thus
happy physiological function. You could look at it this
way: the only natural way to feel good is the one that is
a by-product of a normally functioning body that is
producing sufficient energy at the cellular level. Any
other way to feel good is phony and a result of
stimulants, how innocent these stimulants may look.
Your body detoxifies itself all day and
for the biggest part during your sleep. Especially until
noon it is therefore sensible to eat fruit only. Your
body has to dispose of the toxic elements it receives
from stimulants, nutrition and pollution.
If you stop the stimulating of your body
with a certain stimulant there is a good chance that the
following is the result:
an immediate loss of energy;
emotional symptoms such as headaches,
sickness and depressions.
So, if you stop the use of a stimulant you
will not feel better right away. It's obvious that these
products are really addictive. In some cases if someone
improves his eating habits an immediate increase of energy
is experienced but the opposite is just as often the
result. The body has not only to deal with the moment but
also with the problems that have resulted from the past...

Weight loss
For
example: if someone improves his eating habits (for example
eating a lot of fruit or quitting on dairy products) and loses
weight, not only does the body have to burn the fat, it also
has to cope with toxic waste that is embedded within the fat.
So if your body is burning that fat it is very likely that you
will feel ill because your body also burns the toxic waste
products embedded within that fat.
