Fruit
rarely appears in dinner recipes, but fruit is
packed with healthful nutrients (like it's veggie cousins)
and can be pleasingly savory. Fruit is a proven anti-ager.
Plus, fruits' antioxidants may prevent cell damage linked
with aging and disease.
Paired
with the recipes is a guide highlighting the benefits
of each fruit, how it works and what vitamins it is loaded
with. Learn which fruit:
*
Fight cancer and fine lines (cantaloupes, kiwifruit, oranges,
pineapples, etc)
*
Safeguard your heart,(bananas, honeydew, mango, plantains,
etc)
*
Stop weight creep (bananas, apples, blueberries, pears,
blackberries, etc)
*
Be fitter longer (blueberries, cherries, pomegranates)
* Maintain a sharp mind (apples, blueberries, grapes,
plums, etc)
*
Look di-vine! Red grapes contain antioxidants that combat
inflammation, a main acne culprit.
