A lovely variety of fruits

All types of berries- straw berries, black berries, blue berries, goose berries, rasp berries, cranberries etc-  are chock full of vitamins, minerals, micro-nutrients, and are rich with antioxidants.  Having berries daily slows down the absorption and digestion of carbohydrate in your body. Berries help keep your blood sugar levels under control and prevent insulin spikes, thus checking fat gain. What is more, all berries have a good amount of fiber. You can have them daily as a power packed mid day snack or can mix them with other food for a change.

Binge on fruits before meals

For losing weight, the number of calories we cut from our food intake needs to be sufficient enough for the results to show quickly. If your diet cuts down about five hundred calories each day you will lose weight over the course of a week or two. It is easier to diet for weight loss if you consume a good amount of fruits, as fruits have very low calories, mainly due to the high water content in them. The presence of the large percentage of water in fruits can help replenish fluid balance and make you feel energetic. 

Here is a chart which will be a good source of information on the caloric content of fruits. This chart will act as a guide to assess the average amount of calories in 100 grams of fruits:

 

Calories in Mangoes – 70Calories in Strawberries – 70Calories in Pomegranate – 77

 

Calories in an Apple – 56Calories in an Avocado Pear – 190Calories in a Banana – 95

 

Calories in Cherries – 70Calories in Black Grapes – 45Calories in a Guava – 66

 

Calories in a Kiwi – 45Calories in Litchis – 61Calories in Oranges – 52

 

Calories in Papaya – 32Calories in Pears – 51Calories in Plums – 56

Sensible eating

Sensible eating leads to a healthy and long life. The trick is in balancing out what you at. If you happen to indulge your self with too much food during the weekend lunch, take care to balance it with a light and nutritious dinner…… may be a salad and soup or a bowl of mixed fruits. While at a buffet consciously choose your food… live foods such as vegetables and fruits are easy to digest and are packed with enzymes, water, fiber, and vitamins. When preparing your table for a meal, make sure to arrange a special salad with a variety of vegetables. It will be an attractive table arrangement too. Ensure that you and your loved ones have a wide variety of fruits. One way to make sure that we eat fruit regularly is by making it easy available.

Weight loss workshop 

When:          Saturday May 16, 2009

                     10:00am- 12:00pm 

Where:        TFL Train for Life

                     17680 Butterfield 

                     Morgan Hill,CA 95037 

Presenter:  Denise Locsin RN, Hi5 Produce owner 

RSVP required to denise@hi5produce.com 

I have been asked a million times “what is the best way to lose weight?”  If there were one simple solution that worked for everybody every time, then I would be a billionaire!  What I CAN tell you is that when you learn how your body responds to certain foods and exercise you can accomplish great things.  In this quick fix, microwavable society we live in it is challenging to get into the mindset of healthy choices as a lifestyle.  Every choice we make over time has an accumulated affect on our health.  Simple choices like grabbing an apple for that afternoon pick-me-up or drinking water instead of a soda can have great positive impact over time.

In this workshop we will:

Determine how our bodies burn fat and discuss how pounds are shed.

Examine the pros and cons of the most popular diets.

Design a diet that fits your lifestyle so that you can live healthy and still enjoy life. – Really!!!

Hope to see you there!

-Denise 

Hi5 Fruit Favorite 

The Banana 

The banana is by far the most popular fruit in the office.  Maybe it’s because of its convenient, natural packaging: the banana peel.  Maybe it’s because of its nutritional content.  Bananas are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, they have no sodium, fat, or cholesterol, and they contain more digestible carbohydrates than any other fruit.  Maybe it’s because of the way they make us feel.  Bananas contain natural sugars sucrose, fructose, and glucose, providing and instant and substantial boost of energy for the hungry consumer.  For all of these reasons, bananas are a staple in Hi5 Produce’s Corporate Delivery Program and are available all year long for everyone to enjoy.

Bananas have 7 stages of ripeness, 1 being a deep dark green throughout and 7 being yellow with dark spots.  Hi5 Produce aims for a stage 5 banana:  yellow with green tips as in the picture. Did you know?  The word banana is derived from the Arab word “banan”, which means finger. The Hi5 Gift Box and basket is a great gift idea for some one you love. The freshness and quality of The Hi fruit baskets are excellent. You can call them at (408) 778-6476 or mail them at sales@Hi5produce.com to get them to send you a trial basket.

5 Tips for Healthy Living 

We have all had this underlining thought that maybe we should eat healthier for reasons from wanting more energy to fear of some disease.  Sometimes this idea seems so overwhelming and inconvenient.  Here are five simple ways to improve your nutrition and not make you crazy.  Remember it is progress not perfection!

1) Choose water at all times and treat juice and soft drink as a treat.  Often, we confuse thirst with hunger which causes overeating.

2) Stay away from empty calorie foods.  Empty calorie foods are those that make you think that you have eaten a food but leave you starving for nutrients.  Examples:  fast foods, white bread, candy, soft drinks, and pastries.

4) Follow the 80/20 Rule.  Remember progress not perfection so enjoy nutrient dense food 80% of the time and allow empty calorie foods 20% of the time.  This pattern allows you to not feel deprived nutritionally or mentally.

5) Plan your meals in advance.  Planning is the key to success in any endeavor and healthy eating is no exception.  Keep healthy snacks available to save you from trips to the vending machine and fast food restaurants.   Fruit is your secret weapon!  Fruit is the best quick snack and curbs the appetite while offering abundance of nutrients and water. 

Hi5 Fruit Favorite 

The Cara Cara Orange 

The Cara Cara Orange is relatively new on the citrus scene, discovered in 1976 at the Hacienda Cara Cara in Venezuela.  From there it was brought to Florida, and then to California where it has adapted rather well.  At first glance, it’s hard to distinguish from a normal California navel orange, but peel it open and a rich pink flesh is revealed!   It’s flavor has been said to hint the tangy zing of grapefruit, cranberry, and even cherry flavors, along with the sweet citrus taste of a navel orange.  Cara Cara Oranges are typically available from December to March, so keep an eye out for these unique and delicious treats in your weekly baskets.   Can’t tell the difference?  Ask your Hi5 Freshness Specialist to point one out.
