    About this ebook

    So you think you know all you need to know about fruit?

    You’ve heard about Superfoods and Super Fruits, about healthy foods and healthy eating. But do you know what the Super Fruits are and how to use them for the greatest nutrition and health benefits? Which Super Fruits are best at enhancing your libido and which are best at reducing your cholesterol?

    In this book you'll learn how to Increase Your Libido and Energy, Strengthen Your Bones, Lower Your Cholesterol and More!

    This book covers Super Fruits from A to Z, from Apples to Watermelon.

    You’ll learn about their nutritional values, their health benefits, and how best to include them in your diet. This book is a guide to the most nutrient dense fruits s you can buy.

    Jennifer Iserioh “Skinny Chef” writes in her review:

    This book offers the ABC's of superfruits and how they can nourish you and protect your health. Excellent research and clear straight forward writing. Fruits are covered alphabetically but there are a few letters in the alphabet that didn't include a name of a fruit such as X and Y. The author took the opportunity to give some excellent food for thought -- ways just to enjoy your life more through positive thinking! I consider myself to be well read when it comes to health and I even learned a few things from this book- one in particular about fulvic acid.

    In this book you will also learn answers to these and other questions about Superfoods:

    • What is organic?
    • Why organic? How can organic Superfoods benefit your health?
    • Are stored minerals (in our bodies) ever used?
    • How do you tell if a fruit in the supermarket is 'organic' in the scientific sense?
    • Just because it is grown without pesticides, does that make it scientifically organic?
    • Can fruit be scientifically organic even though not in the 'Organic' section of the supermarket?
    • So, what foods are THE Super foods?

    And if you do need to supplement your diet, this book contains some additional information concerning supplementation and the importance of using supplements that will really benefit you.

      Life is a Super Fruit - Karen C Groves

      FOREWORD TO THE SUPERFOODS SERIES

      Yes, life can be a bowl of cherries . . .

      Cherries

      Nutritional Value: How do tart cherries' antioxidant levels stack up against cranberries and strawberries? Tart cherries' levels are actually higher. Let's look at the nutrients available in . . .

      But there is more to life than just cherries! There are many other super fruits, or fruit superfoods, that can deliver valuable health benefits for you. Yes,

      Life is a Super Fruit

      And you’ll learn all about it in this book. But first:

      What makes a superfood? Superfoods are found among fruits, vegetables (including legumes), nuts, grains, proteins and healthy fats. Usually, if a food is nutrient dense, then it can be considered a superfood.

      Nutrient dense for fruits and vegetables means that they are low in calories, high in nutrients and dietary fiber. For meats, fish and seafood, it usually means high in nutrients and for some meats, low in fat. On the other hand, energy dense foods are higher in calories and have fewer nutrients. Compare a donut with an apple, and you will see what we mean. Although a donut tastes good, it has 200-300 calories, a fair amount of fat and few nutrients. An apple is low in calories, low in fat and has a lot of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Although both may give you a feeling of fullness, the apple will actually feed and nourish your body long-term while the donut is short-term satisfaction mainly for your taste buds.

      What does this mean for you? For example, there are a number of fruits, vegetables and meats that have higher levels of Vitamin A and/or Lutein than other foods.  If you are having vision problems, you might want to add several of these high Vitamin A and Lutein rich items to your diet to help your body improve your vision.

      Vitamin A rich superfoods include liver of any animal, Bluefin tuna, clams, oysters, cayenne/paprika, sweet potatoes, carrots, dark leafy greens, butternut squash, red and green leaf lettuce, dried apricots, cantaloupe, fresh basil, fresh parsley and dried herbs.

      Lutein rich superfoods include Sardines, kale, spinach, dandelion greens, cayenne/paprika, turnip greens, Swiss chard, collard greens and mustard greens.

      Having your diet composed of mainly nutrient dense food will not only boost your health, it will help you gain and maintain a healthy weight as well.

      So what are the best superfoods? As you will soon learn, they are the organic superfoods. These are nutrient dense foods that include fruits, vegetables, legumes, proteins, grains, nuts and seeds, fats and oils. Meats, fish and seafood may be considered organic because of being fed organic food and receiving no hormones or antibiotics. They could also be classified as 'natural' meaning they are free range (grass fed) or caught in the wild.

      If you have some nutrition information from 20-30 years ago, such as an old cookbook, you might notice that some of the nutrients in mass-produced food grown today are at much lower levels. Vitamin A in some foods is nearly 50% less than that grown 40 years ago. The question is What is the decrease in nutrients doing to our bodies? Buying organic food may help in that regard.

      Eating a varied diet of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, grains, proteins and healthy fats is very important. Adding different superfoods to your regular diet will increase the number of nutrients your body gets and help boost your immune system and your body's ability to ward off disease.

      Also, eating whole foods instead of taking isolated supplements, such as Vitamin C tablets, allows you to benefit from the synergy of all the nutrients in those foods. In other words, these nutrients work together to give you more than just the sum of the nutrients. This will make a big difference to your health and wellbeing.

      This e-book is about Super Fruits. This, as well as the other e-books in this series on Superfoods, is designed to give you quick access to information on the nutrients in these foods, how they may benefit your health, and how best to consume them. A listing of the entire Superfoods Series may be found in the Resources chapter.
