Making Fresh Fruit the Cornerstone of your Diet

If you’re pursuing a healthy lifestyle, you know the challenges finding the right balance of nutritious foods can present on an almost daily basis. Americans especially are constantly under siege from the temptation that arise from high-fat, low-nutrient junk food, from unhealthy snacking, and from eating between meals. We’re a nation and a culture that loves to indulge, so it’s no wonder that obesity has become one of our leading national healthy concerns.

The best and the simplest way to curtail unhealthy eating habits is to build a daily dietary plan that includes lots of fruits and vegetables. Fruits are especially beneficial because they’re loaded with fiber that actually helps you control your appetite. They’re also packed with vitamins and minerals that help improve your health instead of acting as a drag against it, they way junk food will.

One of the best ways to keep fruit in your house and ready to snack or eat at a moment’s notice is the assorted gift fruit basket. These charming and delightful arrangements contain a wealth of only the freshest fruit, and represent a variety of what the fruit food group has to offer in vitamins, nutrients, fiber, and other important dietary requirements.

Apples:

What some might call the original fruit, apples are rich in antioxidants, which help the body stave off both diseases and bone and muscle problems. Apples are also rich in minerals and nutrients that doctors consider daily essentials, such as niacin and potassium.

Apples’ greatest gift, however, is their trio of vitamins. Apples contain Vitamins A, B6 and C in ample doses, making them sort of like a multivitamin all by themselves.

Oranges, Tangelos, and Grapefruit

These delicious, succulent citrus fruits are available in assorted gift baskets year round, with many coming straight from the sun-drenched fruit orchards of Southern Florida. These delectable treats carry plenty of nutritional benefits, too, including rich supplies of Vitamin C and a host of helpful antioxidants.
These citrus fruits are also rich in calcium, a vital source of building material for healthy bones, teeth, and even muscles. They, too, contain the helpful nutrients like riboflavin and niacin, and folic acid, amplifying their healthy effects even further.

Grapes and Pomegranates

Less famous as a fruit than oranges or apples, grapes and pomegranates are also rich in fiber and antioxidants, and help keep the body’s bloodstream strong and free from unhealthy pollutants.
