Fruit Power - II
Oranges, melons, grapes and papayas. Now you have added reasons for devouring these fruits. Orange One of the world's favourite fruits,
and America's number one flavour, the humble orange is loaded with Vitamin
C, bioflavniods, potassium as well as calcium. This citrus fruit helps
to keep the blood capillaries strong and healthy and can actually speed
up the healing process in the body.
Papaya Papaya is a deliciously soft tropical fruit that has long been used to relieve flatulence and aid digestion. It is also used as a beauty treatment to lift dead flaky skin. It has high content of Vitamin A
and C, as well as magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and organic sulphur.
It also contains papain, which is a natural enzyme, known to break down
complex proteins into simple molecules. Pregnant women as well as those
taking anti-depressant or anti-hypertensive drugs should avoid this fruit.
Melon Melons are one of the most popular
summertime thirst-quenchers. They come in many varieties ---- the watermelon,
the yellow melon, the Persian, the Cantaloupe and the Honeydew. Melon contains
Vitamin C and high potassium content, with traces of Vitamin B complex.
Grapes Queen Cleopatra of Egypt, who was
very conscious of her beauty and figure, made the humble grape quite famous.
The fruit is indeed very rich in vitamins like A, C and B. It is also full
of minerals like phosphorus. Due to its natural sugars like dextrose and
fructose, grapes are an important part of slimming diets. They fill the
stomach and suppress the appetite. About 8 per cent of grape juice is made
up of plant proteins. Therefore, it helps to flush out toxins and waste
materials from the kidneys.
Grapefruit Like other citrus fruits, the grapefruit
too is loaded with the goodness of Vitamin C and lesser amounts of B, E
and K complex. It also has a good amount of minerals like phosphorus, potassium
and calcium.
