An Apple A Day!

We’ve all heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” And while that specifically may not be true, it is true you should include fruits and vegetables in your diet daily. Fruits and vegetables give you many nutrients that are important to your health. Dark-colored berries contain proanthocyanidins which are potent antioxidants. Antioxidant seeks out and eradicates free-radicals to help slow aging, and fight cancer.  Carrots and sweet potatoes have high levels of beta-carotene which the body converts into vitamin A, which is important for healthy skin and eyes.  Spinach is a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, iron and calcium. Almost all fruits and vegetables supply the body with fiber needed for cholesterol regulation. Whether you eat them raw or cooked, steamed or stir-fried, or whole, fresh and organic produce is the best option. Frozen is also good because the nutrients are fairly well preserved by freezing.
·         Emphasize vegetables in your meals, and choose fruits for snacks or dessert.
·         Eat the "rainbow" Everyday choose fruits and vegetables that make a rainbow of at least 3 different colors.
·         Include dark green leafy vegetables every day.
·         Brighter and deeper colors indicate the highest levels of nutrients.
·         Eat a variety of plant parts: leaves, stems, roots, flowers and fruit.
·         At lunch and dinner, try to have half of your plate being vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.
eSutras Organics thinks you should balance your diet with fruit and vegetables, but if that proves to be more of a challenge you can take one of our supplements or teas! These supplements are high in levels of antioxidants just like fruit and vegetables!
·         eSutras Organics Pomegranate Peel Powder - eSutras Pomegranate Peel can be used to flavor soups, stews, rice and vegetable dishes. It is high in vitamin C and contains almost double the amount of antioxidants than the pulp or juice. It can also be taken as an herbal supplement.
·         eSutras Organics Yerba Mate Tea – Research demonstrates many additional benefits of Yerba Mate including DNA protection and inhibition of the oxidation of LDL (sometimes referred to as the "bad" cholesterol). Oxidation is caused by free radicals, which can cause damage to cells and other tissues if left uncontrolled
Try to incorporate these products into your diet and you’ll be healthier in no time!
Although eSutras Organics fully supports our products, you should ALWAYS consult with a physician or trained medical professional before taking any supplements to verify it has no harmful side effect for you.
