Fruit for Thought and Health

Only one third of all American adults consume two or more servings of fruit per day. When I think of all my favorite fruits: mangos, lychee, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, etc, etc, etc. I think it’s such a shame that more people don’t embrace the clear healthful goodness of fruit. Fruit is not only part of a nutritious diet, but it is nature’s candy. Fruit contains a small portion of the calories of your average candy bar, offers enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that are not found in a candy bar, and is all together more nourishing while still able to fulfill that sugary sweet tooth. Fruit consumption is also effective for weight loss. It provides energy, water, minimizes the risk of heart disease and some forms of cancer, and can slow down the aging process. Who wouldn’t want to eat more fruit after learning these facts? Next time you have an occasion to give a gift, why not deliver a fruit basket? If you’re going to give someone sweets, why not give the gift of wellness as well? At Baskets By Rita, we bundle the freshest, most attractive fruit available into our Diabetic Gift Basket. This is our guilt free way for you to send a special treat when dietary restrictions dictate.
