The International Superfruits!

                     Enjoy Better Health This New Year! 

A new year is already here and if "eating right" or "detoxing" is
on your agenda, then you may want to add some fruits that don't
normally get any press or attention. 
In the U.S. we're accustomed to bananas, apples, berries, pears,
and avocados and if we (Americans) want to try something
exotic or outside the box- we try kiwi, plantains or pomegranates. 

But hold on, what about the fruits that the people of Sri Lanka,
Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic
eat?
Not sure what fruits they eat?
Well, how about Lychees, Dragonfruit, Starfruit, Guava and Kumquats.
Look for these "super fruits" at your produce store, Asian or Latin markets
or larger supermarkets.
Eat more of these fruits for the new year and you can expect benefits like...
* Youthful Skin-
Eat guavas a few times a week and turn back the clock on your skin.
Another benefit: Like tomatoes and watermelon, guavas are "natural sunscreen." 
Don't spend a ton of money on sunscreen, eat your sunscreen.
* Lower Diabetes Risk-
With Dragonfruit. This fruit improves insulin sensitivity and slows glucose absorption, 
helping to cancel out blood sugar spikes from high carb and sugary foods you take in.
* Reduce Belly Fat-
Concerned about the size of your belly? Do what a lot of people in Asian
countries do and eat Lychees. These sweet Asian  treats have a ton of fiber
in them and that fiber breaks down fat and even blocks it (fat) from being absorbed into
your system.
* Lower Cholesterol Levels-
Concerned about high cholesterol? Be more worried about high blood pressure
and if your doctor wants you to go on statins (to bring down your cholesterol levels)
tell him or her- "I'll lower it myself with Kumquats" 
* Forever Young- 
Slow down aging to your cells and even lower Alzheimer's risks with
Starfruit.

That's it- 5 "Superfruits" that'll help you look and feel better this New year.
One last tip: If you live in a sun-drenched country or just concerned about the
damage the Sun can do (to your skin) head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle 
store and type Natural Sunscreen At The Supermarkets, in the search bar.
Download it and save a lot of money on Sunscreen.

Good Luck!

New Zealand's Rx For Office Workers!

                             Health Tip From New Zealand!
Are you an office worker? Spend a lot of time sitting for your job?
Or are you someone who sits for hours due to driving or flying for hours?
Well, if you're someone that's spends a lot of time sitting-
you're at risk for blood clots.

But wait, New Zealand has a  fruit cure.
The fruit cure: Kiwi!
That's right, New Zealand, not Australia is where the Kiwi comes from
and their a formidable foe against blood clots.
Give thanks to the high amounts of vitamin C and other nutrients
that bolster heart health by improving circulation, keeping blood fats
under control and preventing deadly blood clots.

How powerful are Kiwi? Just 2 a day can lower blood clot risks by 20%
and reduce triglycerides by 15%.

And if blood clots aren't a concern-use them to clear up undereye circles.
A teacher who was prescribed 2 kiwi a day to build up her immunity for the
upcoming school year, was able to stay cold-free, and received an unexpected
bonus: the dark circles under her eyes disappeared.

So, if you're an office worker or someone who sits in a car
or plane for hours or someone who wants the dark circles under your
eyes gone-then try the New Zealand rx of 2 kiwis a day.
And to really double the benefit: have a glass of grape juice with your kiwi.

Good Luck!
