  What comes out in your head when you read the word fruit? A lot actually right? Fruits come in different shapes, sizes, smells, and tastes. But when you say fruits, there are nutritional and health benefits that are attached to it.

  Experts say that eating fruits like pineapple, banana, apple, pomegranate, and grapes, helps decrease the bad cholesterol in our body and prevents us from acquiring diabetes. If I'm not mistaken, Diabetes is the second leading causes of death in the world. Eating ripe papaya has a lot of benefits too. It actually improves our metabolism and helps in maintaining the normal level of blood pressure. Citric fruits such as orange, pomelo, and lemon have a cleansing effect on our skin. Scientists say that, we can achieve a glowing and healthier skin if we include those fruits in our diet.

  Fruits also serve as dessert to some people. Perfect to munch on during morning, lunch, and even dinner. People who are vegetarian or vegan include fruits into their diet. But, I'm not urging you to be a vegan. I believe, it is still important to eat the right food and with a balanced diet. I also think that, if we incorporate vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish in our daily diet, then we can achieve a healthy body and mind. And of course, a chance to live longer too!

  Always remember, no matter what food we eat, please consider its health benefits. It's also important to know where our foods come from and if they are properly prepared or stored.

  So what's your favorite fruit? And why do you like it? This blog will be another great opportunity to learn something from you. I'll be glad to read your comments too. : )
