Strawberries - 5 a day keeps the doctor away

To get the benefits of strawberries simply look at the amazing nutrition facts of the strawberry.

Red, ripe and full of nutrition benefits ,what are the benefits from strawberries .

 There are 49 calories in one cup of strawberries. Strawberries are also loaded with Vitamin C, 3 grams of fiber, and some calcium, magnesium, and potassium.  The simple fact is that the little strawberry is big on nutrition.

Health Benefits of Strawberries

 Strawberry extracts may help inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells.

 Strawberries are good for the aging of the brain.

Strawberries Benefit the Heart

Strawberry extracts have direct anti-inflammatory effects.

Most of this benefit is due to phenolic antioxidants called anthocyanins, which help give ripe strawberries their lush red color. Anthocyanins decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke by protecting blood vessels from the effects of wear and tear.

Strawberries Benefit Weight Loss

The ellagic acid and anthocyanins found in strawberries aid weight loss in at least three ways:

1. Chronic inflammation blocks the hormones involved in keeping you lean. Nutrition from anti-inflammatory foods like strawberries help restore normal function to weight-reducing hormones.

2. Anthocyanins increase the body’s production of a hormone called adiponectin, which stimulates your metabolism and suppresses your appetite.

3. Both ellagic acid and anthocyanins slow the rate of digestion of starchy foods, controlling the rise in blood sugar that follows a starchy meal. This effect is used to control blood sugar in people with adult-onset.

So basically , eat strawberries .

Banana's - 5 a day keeps the doctor away

Whether you think its a funny word or a nice snack , there are lost of benefits of a banana's .

* Zit zapper. Based on research, banana pulp and peels have natural antibiotic properties, research shows, and also fight inflammation. To battle skin breakouts, after cleansing your face at night, rub the inside of the peel on pimples, then rinse off in the morning.

* Get rids of warts. Banana peel works on warts. But it doesn’t happen overnight. Daily treatment for weeks will do the miracle. Apply the banana peel before bedtime. Let it sit overnight and wash it in the morning. 


* Morning sickness relief. Bananas also appear to ease morning sickness in some expecting moms. Since this diet doesn’t supply all necessary nutrients, it’s only intended for short-term relief. 

* Banishing bloat. Low in calories, bananas is one of the popular morning diet in Japan. An excellent food for weight loss, the potassium in bananas can also help reduce fluid retention, particularly swelling around the ankles during pregnancy.  

Bananas are high in fiber, so they help you feel full longer, with a low glycemic index (carbs are released slowly, avoiding spikes and drops in blood sugar).

* Workout energy enhancer. Bananas are an excellent fuel to boost stamina before you hit the gym or jogging trail. And they’re also a great recovery food after your workout. Try peanut butter and banana slices on brown rice cakes, or a swig a banana, milk and yogurt smoothie to provide fluid, healthy carbs, and protein.

Apple- 5 a day keeps the doctor away

From pink lady to golden delicious , we all love are apples but how are they good for us ?

1. Get whiter, healthier teeth

An apple won’t replace your toothbrush, but biting and chewing an apple stimulates the production of saliva in your mouth,  by lowering the levels of bacteria.

2. Avoid Alzheimer’s

A new study  shows that drinking apple juice could keep Alzheimer’s away and fight the effects of ageing on the brain. 

3. Curb all sorts of cancers

Scientists from the American Association for Cancer Research, among others, agree that the consumption of flavonol-rich apples could help reduce your risk of developing pancreatic cancer by up to 23 per cent

4. Decrease your risk of diabetes

Women who eat at least one apple a day are 28 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who don’t eat apples. Apples are loaded with soluble fibre, the key to blunting blood sugar swings.

5. Reduce cholesterol

The soluble fibre found in apples binds with fats in the intestine, which translates into lower cholesterol levels and a healthier you.

6. Get a healthier heart

 The phenolic compound found in apple skins also prevents the cholesterol that gets into your system from sticking on your artery walls.

7. Prevent gallstones

Gallstones form when there’s too much cholesterol in your bile for it to remain as a liquid, so it solidifies. To prevent gallstones, doctors recommend a diet high in fibre to help you control your weight and cholesterol levels. Fibre found in apples can help. Fibre can either pull water out of your colon to keep things moving along when you’re backed up, or absorb excess water from your stool to slow your bowels down.

8. Boost your immune system

Red apples contain an antioxidant called quercetin. Recent studies have found that quercetin can help boost  your immune system, especially when you're stressed out.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
