10 Reasons To Eat Fruit - Page 3

I like to make fruit, oat and yoghurt smoothies as "fast food" if I'm in a rush.

I'll either use Innocent fruit smoothies plus a handful of whole fruit, or frozen berry mix.

Add low fat natural yoghurt for protein and about 50g of oats for fibre and carbs and blend together. It's got an excellent nutritional breakdown and keeps you full for as long as a regular meal thanks to the oats.

Dried fruit isn't really that healthy.

A) They're more expensive to produce since the ingredient quality is generally higher B) Health conscious consumers will pay a premium for healthier foods, and get charged as such even if the food isn't more expensive to produce C) Stupid agricultural subsidies support artificially low prices on the shitty ingredients that go into unhealthy foods

True. I love dried cranberries but have had to limit the amount I eat because of all the sugar applied to them.

Fruit Stimulates Our Memories
If you didn't know yet: fruit is the ultimate brain fuel. Fruit has a positive effect on our brains and makes you recall information easier and faster...

Source, please.


Blueberries are a remarkable food for the brain. They promote something called neurogenesis, the formation of new brain cells, which takes place in at least two regions of the brain: the hippocampus, the seat of short term memory, and the olfactory bulb, the seat of sense of smell.

There are a couple of other ways to boost neurogenesis: aerobic exercise and taking SSRI drugs, like Prozac. Interestingly, if the new neurons are not challenged and thereby recruited into the neural network, they just die.

I'd rather stick with vegetables, they're more nutritionally dense. Moreover, don't knock animal slaughter- it's consumption some 4-5 million years ago fueled the evolution/size or our brains. Without it, we'd still be in trees eating fruit.
