Fruit, Fruit & More Fruit!

So you have always been told that fruits and vegetables are healthy.  They are!  I'm not here to disagree with that at all.  Eat fruit, just eat the right fruit.   I suggest keeping the sugar at 20-40 grams of sugar a day.  Eating fruit that is lower in sugar, lower glycemic index is a great goal.  A few great websites showing low glycemic index fruits can be found here: http://www.the-gi-diet.org/lowgifoods/  and http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whattoeat/a/whatfruit.htm.

One other note is to try and buy organic as much as possible.  Why organic?  A few reasons, not only does organic food taste better but it reduces health risks.  There have been many EPA approved pesticides that were registered way before research was done to link the chemicals to cancer and other diseases.   Did you know that 60% of herbicides, 90% of fungicides and 30% of insecticides are potentially cancer causing?  Much of our society is buying nice cars and when you buy that nice car we put premium gasoline in the car.  Why not put premium food in your body?  If you aren't able to always buy organic make sure to look at the dirty dozen and always buy these foods organic only.
