Bright colors are better

Research has been going on how to solve this problem and it has been proved that having several servings of food rich in antioxidants help reduce the bad effects. They support the immune defense in our body, thus reducing the risk of infections and cancer. Since fruits are a rich source of anti oxidants, it has been proved by researchers from London that at least five servings of fruits daily food rich in antioxidants help reduce the risk of cancer and stroke. Antioxidants are found in large quantities in fruits with bright color – the red pigment seen in fruits like watermelon and tomatoes, the yellow in mangoes, the orange in cantaloupe, and the purple and blue in all the berries.

The ideal food

It is a known fact that lower-carb food work by reducing the body’s insulin response. Foods that contain high quantities of carbohydrate and artificial sugar increase your response to insulin while lower carbohydrate foods reduce this response. The result is that it helps your body to burn up your stored body fat. The question is what is the ideal food that will help you achieve this? It should be nourishing and tasty too. The answer is……. Fruit. Fruits and vegetables help in building and cleansing your body. You can get most of the much needed vitamins and minerals by eating several portions of delicious fruits daily.

Rich in vitamins and minerals 

A commonly found fruit like mango contains essential nutrients such as potassium, copper, many Vitamins and 17 amino acids. Mango is filled with antioxidants and dietary fiber also. Apples have vitamin C, natural sugars, potassium and folate. As most of the vitamin C is stored just under the skin, it is better not to peel the apple. Apricots give you vitamin A, vitamin C and are rich in fiber and beta carotene. A banana has no less than 602 mg of potassium and contains protein to strengthen muscles and is rich in dietary fiber. The happy news is that a large banana only carries 140 calories.

A delicious fruit dessert

This is an easy and quick dessert which my grandmother used to make with bananas, but you can make it with apples or figs or pineapples or straw berries or any other firm fresh fruit. You will need a large cup of chopped fruit, one fourth cup of desiccated fresh coconut, and one fourth cup of sugar. You can substitute sugar with honey or molasses. Now combine all this in a heavy bottomed pan on medium flame. Stir occasionally. The sugar will start melting and combined with the cooked fruit, will start giving a heavenly aroma…stir for five minutes on low flame and when the sugar starts caramelizing, remove from heat and mix in a table spoon of clarified butter. Stir well. The delicious fruit dessert is ready to eat. You can eat it as it is, have it with ice cream, or use it as stuffing to make a delicious pan cake…. The possibilities are end less.
