Fruit salad with a twist

Eating fruits on a daily basis is good habit for everybody no matter whether they are trying to lose weight, maintain or just for a healthy living. To get the recommended amount, most people need to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables they currently eat every day. Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. Fruits and vegetables are a natural source of energy and give the body many nutrients you need to keep going.
