By using fruit to satisfy our taste for sweetness, we can leave behind the use of chemical, processed and refined sweeteners.<\/p><p>Fruits are easy to digest, are cleansing and cooling and are great for those who are overstressed 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. Let\u2019s dive into why eating enough fruit matters!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health Benefits of Eating Enough Fruit<\/h2><p>Eating raw fruit in the 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<br \/>that juice rapidly raises blood sugar levels, leading to an energy crash<br \/>soon after. Frozen, whole, pur\u00e9ed or juiced fruit can make great<br \/>summertime cool-down treats. Try frozen grapes, banana-coconut smoothie popsicles or lime juice ice-cubes in iced tea!<\/p><p>Whether you are having fresh fruit for a light early morning breakfast, a midday snack or evening treat, enjoy nature\u2019s sweetness and whenever possible buy organic.<\/p><p>Here are a few summer fruits and their health benefits:<\/p><p><strong>Apricots<\/strong>: Great for lung conditions and asthma; used to help treat anemia due to their high copper and cobalt content.<\/p><p><strong>Bananas<\/strong>: Help to lubricate the intestines, treat ulcers, detoxify the body and manage sugar cravings; are rich in potassium (which helps hypertension).<\/p><p><strong>Cherries<\/strong>: Slightly warming in nature; increase overall body energy, remedy arthritis and rheumatism and are rich in iron, which improves the blood.<\/p><p><strong>Grapefruits<\/strong>: Treat poor digestion, increase appetite during pregnancy, alleviate intestinal gas and reduce mucus conditions of the lungs.<\/p><p><strong>Papayas<\/strong>: Tone the stomach, act as digestive aid, moisten the lungs and alleviate coughing; contain carpaine, an anti-tumor compound.<\/p><p><strong>Raspberries<\/strong>: Benefit the liver and kidneys, cleanse blood of toxins, regulate menstrual cycles, treat anemia and can promote labor at childbirth.<\/p><p>Make sure you are eating enough fruit to enjoy all the health benefits they provide!
