Nutrition Time .. Part 1

Its been a while .. But I am challenging myself to drop in every now and then
Even if it is to leave a quote or so


These are 5 little-known facts about well-known foods.

1. Avocado [also known as pear in some countries] has more than twice as much potassium as banana. For delicious, creamy salad dressing, mix together avocado and fresh carrot juice.

2. Bananas are high in sugar so they should not be eaten if you have blood sugar problems (but if you so desire to intake, don't eat all of 12 at once - one will suffice). Don't eat bananas on an empty stomach; combining it with a little protein will help to normalize the insulin response caused by the sugar in banana. Green-tipped bananas are better for your health than over-ripe (not sure why).

3. Beet Roots are high in carbohydrate levels and should therefore be used sparingly.

4. Broccoli contains twice the vitamin C of an orange. It has almost as much calcium as whole milk.

5. Cilantro may be useful to treat urinary tract infections. Both the leaves and seeds aid digestion, relieve intestinal gas, pain and distention.



Some of these fruits and vegetables are great for weight-loss
Since I've noticed everyone starting this healthy lifestyle
Not sure if its a trend or persons just becoming health conscious,
But healthy should be a lifestyle
Our bodies are worth more than those junk!

Please note guys that I am no dietician or nutritionist
But I did a mini research :)

Have a healthy fun filled day :D
See you tomorrow!
