We cannot have a holistic approach towards losing weight without understanding the importance of fruits in our diet and including a few of them in it. In the last article in this series, we have talked about vegetables and we have seen how they help us in controlling our intake of calorie by preventing us from eating high-fat food items. In this article, we will see how fruits would impact our diet and fight towards fast weight loss.

Fruits in general contain huge amount of water in them, apart from fiber and vitamins. Fiber, in general, helps us to maintain our body metabolism and help in clearing the bowel. Vitamins are vital for our body and form critical part of daily nutrition. Vitamins help us absorb the food that we eat or drink and also protect our skin and organs from various internal and external factors. This is how fruits containing fiber and vitamins are so helpful to us. However, the bulk content in any fruit is water which helps us in cleansing our organs – both internally and externally, and keeping us free of accumulated foreign bodies. This is one of the reasons that doctors recommend you to have at least 6 to 8 glasses of water on a daily basis.



Fruits have been always a part of a healthy weight-loss diet. The grapefruit in particular has found its importance in a diet made to propel weight loss. Besides, it contains Vitamin C in abundance which helps us to maintain healthy teeth and eyes. We should prepare a diet for us in such way that we have at least three servings of fruit daily. When talking about servings, it is not necessary to have only one kind of fruit each time; rather, it is recommended that we consume various types of fruits together to maintain a balance of various nutrients that are required by the body. Mixed fruit juices are also very helpful.

Do you like sweets very much? Well, sweets are potential careers of high doses of calories. Sweets, made from milk and sugar, contain high-fat ingredients too, like butter, oil, yogurts etc. which only add up to our calorie intake. Fruits would help there too. Fruits, naturally, are sweet to taste and we can easily replace sweets in our desserts with cut fruits. Many of our readers have switched to a bowl of cut fruits spilled with a spoonful of honey after dinner and stopped taking ice-cream or sweets made from milk and syrup. They often consider this as one of the best steps they took towards holistic approach to fast and healthy weight loss.

Please include lot of fruits in your daily diet and you should be on your way to lose some of those flabs and extra pounds that you have acquired over the last few years. Remember to have at least three servings a day. You can easily make fruits or fruit juices a large part in your breakfast, evening snack and dinner. Just follow this for about a month or two and I am sure you will feel the difference. Let us know if that helps. Your feedbacks, in the form of comments in this blog motivate us to write and contribute more.

Cheers!

Health Benefits Of Artichokes

October 15th 2008 04:15
Artichoke


Artichokes, the big green buds used in cooking, are an excellent source of dietary magnesium, fibre, Vitamins A and C, folic acid, chromium, potassium, biotin, manganese, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and a carbohydrate that is in the form of insulin.

As one of the most nutrient-packed vegetables on the planet, artichokes are hugely beneficial to our health. Diabetics who include artichokes in their diet can reap huge rewards from this vegetable because it contains a carbohydrate - in the form of insulin - which is a polysaccharide or starch that is handled by the body differently than other sugars. Thus artichokes are low in calories due to this carbohydrate, plus they are also extremely beneficial to diabetics. Insulin, as we know, improves blood sugar control in diabetes.

Artichoke


Other known health benefits of artichokes include the treatment of many liver diseases via its active ingredients found within the leaves called caffeoylquinic acids, such as cynarin. These compounds are found to have an choleretic effect that promotes the flow of bile and fat to and from the liver and treatment of hepatitis. Artichokes also helps relieve the symptoms of rheumatism, prevent atherosclerosis, alleviate various ailments of the kidneys, and help promote the growth of bifidobacteria within the digestive tract.

Artichoke


When choosing artichokes, the things to look out for are:

- tight leaves
- heavy for its size
- shows a deep green colour and when the leaves are rubbed together with an audible squeaking sound
- in season between March through May although they can be found throughout the year at most markets.
