Health tip II: Fruit is a must

The title of my blog isn't exactly random, it is an old English idiom that is perfectly true. Fruit is one of the most healthy foods you will ever find. Besides, it is delicious!

There are a couple of things you should take into account when eating fruit:

• For instance, apples (as well as cranberries, grapefruit, lemons, magoes, oranges, pinnaples, raspberries, strawberries and tangerines) have negative calories. That is, you burn more calories whilst digesting them than the ones you have ingested. Eat away, my friends! 
• On the other hand, bananas (120 kcal a piece), pears (96 kcal a piece) and all dried fruits are much more caloric, so be careful.

Let's not be hypocritical: no one will eat five pieces of fruit a day, no matter how much the doctors recommend it. However, fruit provides a lot of vitamins that are essential to stay healthy and beautiful. Yes, beautiful. I have recently started to eat an apple a day and both my hair and nails have visibly improved. It  works, I promise!

• Do eat fruit every day if you can, but do not eat it all the time. Fruit is sugary, remember. 
• You can eat fruit as a dessert, but it works much better if you eat it as an afternoon snack. It won't add up calories and it will quench your hunger until dinner time.
