Fitness - Let Fruit Be Your Medicine
...2 cups of fruit per serving!
Hippocrites, the Father of Modern Medicine (and author of the Hippocratic Oath), once proclaimed, "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommends eating the equivalent of 2 cups of fresh fruit each day. The
right amount for you is dependent on your age, gender, and level of daily exercise.
How many servings of fruit should you be having? Find CDC's answer here. (Or here if the CDC website is slow.)
Eating fruit cereal is part of a healthy lifestyle. Fruit cereal can be incorporated into any traditional, vegetarian, or vegan diet. Each single-serving, stay-fresh pouch of fruit cereal contains the equivalent of 2 cups of fresh fruit...like eating 2 medium apples or 10 apricots for breakfast. And that's good medicine!
...2 times more fiber than grain cereals!
Why is fruit cereal so filling? That's simple, it's the fiber. A bowl full of fruit cereal expands and fills your stomach with slow-digesting fiber, but only contains about 200 calories and tastes great! Feeling full is a significant factor in
aiding weight loss. With
fruit cereal for breakfast, you'll be full all day. Healthy grain-based breakfast cereals typically have about 5 or 6 grams of fiber per serving. Fruit cereal has twices as much. One single-serving, stay-fresh pouch of fruit cereal has 12 grams of soluble fiber.
