Summertime fruits are key foods to a healthy lifestyle. 

A healthy lifestyle is the key to longevity, optimum weight, abundant energy and balance. By using fresh fruit to satisfy our taste for sweetness, we can easily leave behind the use of processed and refined sweeteners.

Longevity, Optimum Weight, Loads of Energy & Holistic Wellness

Fruits are easy to digest, are cleansing and cooling and are great for those who are over-stressed and overheated from excessive mental strain or hot climates. Fruits are filled with fiber and liver stimulants, which act as natural, gentle laxatives. Whenever possible, buy fresh, locally grown fruit as opposed to imported fruits shipped from far-off places.

This keeps you eating in season, and more in harmony with your environment and climate.

Eating raw fruit in summer months is highly cooling, while baking it in the winter months neutralizes the cooling effect. Fruit in the form of juice is a great choice for cleansing the body, but be aware that juice rapidly raises blood sugar levels, leading to an energy crash soon after. Frozen, whole, puréed or juiced fruit can make great summertime cool-down treats. Try frozen grapes, banana-coconut smoothie popsicles or lime juice ice-cubes in iced tea!

Soon you will reap the benefits of eating healthy foods such as delicious summertime fruits.

Whether you are having fresh fruit for a light early morning breakfast, a midday snack, low carb fruit smoothie or evening treat, enjoy nature’s sweetness and whenever possible buy organic.
