Here is the super food of the day:
Kiwifruit
This tiny, nutrient-dense fruit packs an amazing amount of vitamin C (double the amount found in oranges), has more fiber than apples, and beats bananas as a high-potassium food. The unique blend of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals found in kiwifruit helps protect against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and respiratory disease. Kiwifruit's natural blood-thinning properties work without the side effects of aspirin and support vascular health by reducing the formation of spontaneous blood clots, lowering LDL cholesterol, and reducing blood pressure. Multiple studies have shown that kiwifruit not only reduces oxidative stress and damage to DNA but also prompts damaged cells to repair themselves.
Kiwifruit is often prescribed as part of a dietary regimen to battle cancer and heart disease, and in Chinese medicine it's used to accelerate the healing of wounds and sores.
How much: Aim to eat one to two kiwifruit a day while they're in season, for the best taste and nutrition. California-grown kiwifruit are in season from October through May, and New Zealand kiwifruit are available between April and November.
Tips:
Kiwifruit contains enzymes that activate once you cut the fruit, causing the flesh to tenderize. So if you're making a fruit salad, cut the kiwifruit last.
The riper the kiwifruit, the greater the antioxidant power, so let them ripen before you dig in.
I had to give a lecture/speech this morning a couple of times to some middle school kids today at some health fair. I basically told them they needed to start taking care of themselves cause the longer they waited the harder it was going to be. So in honor of that I thought I would share with you this super food of the day. But don't worry, if you don't like this one, there will be more to come.
So i am going to look forward to the rest of my day. After all it is Friday and tomorrow I do get to sleep in. And as always the high light of my day so far is this place. There are just so many nice things to look at. I hope everyone out there is having a great day.
Is there anything fun going on this weekend? Anyways, everyone have a fab tabulous weekend. Thanks for all the boobs!! ( that was sung to the song from Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy)
