Fruits And Health

INTRODUCTION

Fruits play an important function in our body. It serves as food and supplies our body with the required nutrients like vitamin and minerals and antioxidants that keeps our body to function well. They could be planted or bought in the market.

Along taking other foods, fruits should also be taken because of their healthy benfits. Infact, I would opine that fruits are the cheapest and affordable sources of nutrients that we could give to our body.

My Favorite Fruit and Why I Like It

Carica papaya, popularly known as pawpaw, is a well known fruit that is good for our health. I like it because of the healthy benefits that it has. Some of its healthy benefits are:

• Eating papaya helps the skine to glow and look younger as well as reducing skin damage.

• Papaya aids in food digestion

• Papaya contains lycopenes that helps to fight against heart dease.

• Eating papaya would also reduce the channces of having cancer.

• It contains antioxidants that help to fight free radicals in the body.

I Consume Fruits Often

All kinds of fruits are available to me in part of the city I live. I plant some of them and then I buy the ones that I don't have in the market. I eat fruits often so there is no specific time that I have to eat fruits. I go for fruits anytime my I feel that my body needs fruit. One of such fruits is the papaya that I have presented here. This fruit is all over my farm so I don't have the need to buy it in the market. I directly go into the farm and get it when I want to eat it.

Yes, I have experienced some health benefits of eating papaya

Eating papaya helps my food digestion process. It softens the bowels system and prevents constipation. Papaya go a long way in improving my vision and eye health. It also act as a vitamin supplement to me because I do not regularly go to pharmacy to get multivitamins. It acts as food that supplies energy as it could be eaten when I am hungry.

Do you liked fruit based desserts, drinks and shakes? If yes then tell us about them.

For me, I do not go for fruit based desserts even though I like it. It could take too long for me to go for it. It is just onec in a blue moon. The reason is that since I have most of the fruits planted at my backyard, I just go there and get anyone that I need without much time.
