We all know fruit is the key to maintaining a healthy diet but did you know of the other glories fruit can provide you with? No? Read on.....
According to the BBC, eating a fair amount of fruit and veg helps:
- Grow and build
- Repair and heal
- Reproduce successfully
- Repel illnesses and infections
- Avoid weight-related health problems
Did you know?
Fruits help to build our immunity - Fruits such as Oranges and strawberries are packed with Vitamins A and C which help our bodies fight against harmful bacteria.
Keeping us energised - With natural sugars our bodies are able to process these sugars in order for us to feel more energised.
Maintaining healthy skin - So you fork out £50 on that wonderful designer cream that claims it can do X, Y and Z but have you ever considered killing two birds with one stone? (not literally...but you know what I mean). A pack of oranges as cheap as £1 - where you are maintaining a healthy diet by consuming fruit, helping your immunity, keeping energised and helping your skin to remain clear!! I mean what more could we ask for?
Considering fruits for other things.....
Ever wondered what other things you could do with fruits? Here I go....
1. Fruit smoothies - a great way to get all those fruits packed into one drink! (I hate a lot of tropical fruits, but I tend not to taste the particular fruit I don't like when mixed with others).

2. Drinking out of a pineapple - You don't have to be in hawaii to do this! Nip to your local supermarket for those £1 pineapples..cheers!
3. Fruit beauty mask
4. Hair mask - for all you hair lovers, why not try whipping up your own hair mask?
5. Salad - don't like smoothies? here is another alternative to get all those fruits packed in one!
My reasoning for this post is simply because I want to feel/look good, I am trying to incorporate exercise (without a gym membership) and healthy meals.
