Healthy Fruit Smoothies For A Beautiful You
Healthy fruit smoothies are comprised of fruit and pure drinking water. Envision the natural beauty of fruit thriving in the sun and rain. Imagine fruit trees. Imagine vineyards and strawberry fields. This scenery does not belie the nutrients.
Healthy Fruit Smoothies Antioxidant Power
Fruits are filled with vitamins, many of which contain vitamin A, C and E. These are antioxidant rich foods which help keep free radicals from damaging cell structures. Free radicals occur naturally from food being broken down in the body. They are formed during the oxidation process. Sometimes when an atom loses an electron in its outer ring, the atom becomes a free radical. The atom becomes positively charged because of the lack of the negatively charged electron. Since opposites attract, the positively charged atom or molecule that is now a free radical will seek out another electron from a balanced atom. In time this reactive process causes biological damage. Drink healthy fruit smoothies enriched with antioxidants to manage these free radicals before they go into a frenzied chain reaction of electron stealing. Unhand that electron.
Some examples of fruits with antioxidants are watermelon and mangoes, filled with Vitamin A. Kiwis and strawberries are a good source of Vitamin C. Blackberries, blueberries and mangoes are enriched with Vitamin E. These fruits are delicious ingredients for healthy fruit smoothies as well.
Healthy Fruit Smoothies Benefit Skin
The radiating sun can hurt the membrane of your skin cells. Again we must defend our castle with antioxidants, decreasing the chance for destruction of DNA in our skin cells. Aside from the bright sun, inner disturbances to our skin can occur such as acne.
Coming to the rescue are strawberries, a good source of salicylic acid. Externally, strawberries soothe sun burn. They help get rid of dead cells and clean our pores. After ingesting strawberries in healthy fruit smoothies, work toward curing dermatitis is accomplished, internally. Another disease affecting skin and self-esteem is rosacea. Berries such as blueberries, raspberries and strawberries alleviate the burning and itching of rosacea.
Healthy Fruit Smoothies and Digestion
Fruits also contain fiber. Fiber helps in digestion. Soluble fibers help the body by disallowing a high level of starch and sugar absorption. Thus cholesterol is lowered. One word – apples.
Remember do not cook fruits (or vegetables). By preparing foods through cooking above the temperature of 118 degrees Fahrenheit, the digestive enzymes will be destroyed. Digestive enzymes break down the food in the body so that the nutrients can be absorbed. In a raw foods diet, enzymes help start the digestive process. Thus when food is cooked and digestive enzymes are lost, our poor pancreas will have to work overtime to produce more enzymes. Digestive enzymes from raw fruits in our healthy fruit smoothies not only help in digestion but detoxification as well.
The Life Force of Healthy Fruit Smoothies
Some interesting evidence has come to light in the life force of raw foods. Based on studies by two German scientists, Hardy Vogtman and Angelika Meier-Ploeger, organic foods contain more vitamins, minerals and nutrients than foods laden with fertilizer. Their theory is supported by counting light units emitted from the particular food. Every organism emits light levels albeit low. Another word for this light level is biophotons. Further these scientists believe that energy from light is stored in DNA during photosynthesis. Also, light is transmitted to cells and can be subsequently measured. Their ratio findings – the greater the light energy, the more life force. This life force then ingested by humans and animals makes us more vital.
Along these lines comes vibration. All living things have a vibrational frequency. All living elements are electromagnetic. Ingesting foods with higher vibrations such as organic fruits or uncooked foods is the best for your body's cells and systems. Another interesting study is one performed with Kirlian photography, where the images show the electric fields of the subject. Pictures of organic and/or uncooked fruits and vegetables show amazing electrical auras emitting from the images compared to their cooked and fertilized counterparts.
Finally, the line between life and death is energy. Eat foods with a higher healthy vibration, such as fresh, organic raw fruit. When eating cooked foods, squeeze fresh organic lemon juice upon it, to raise the vibrational frequency. Your thoughts can change vibrational frequency as well. For powerful, healthy fruit smoothies, think positively while enjoying your drink.
When picking your fruits, find the organic kind. Always wash your fruit. Pesticide residue is poisonous. Especially clean fruits where the outer layer would not be peeled for your smoothie preparation like berries.
