A Healthy Morning Habit- How Eating Fruit Upon Waking Energizes Your Day

Would you like to wake up in the morning and give yourself a little boost for the rest of the day?  Eating fruit first thing in the morning has many, many benefits!  Leave the pancakes behind.  Studies have found that consuming a heavy breakfast inhibits fat oxidation throughout the day – these heavy meals often include animal products like eggs and bacon or sausages.  A protein-heavy breakfast like eggs, bacon and toast will sit like a brick in your stomach and give you feelings of fatigue for the rest of the day. Switch your animal protein-based breakfasts for fruit, and you’ll notice immediate health improvements after just one week.

Eating fruit in the morning can do these things:
-Enhances detoxification
-Stimulates digestive track
-Wakes up the body!
-Aides in weight loss
-Boosts the immune system
-Creates an alkaline environment in the body
-Helps you feel full & satisfied
-Strengthens the heart
-Decreases belly bloating

The vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants in fruit will work wonders for you in the morning, on an empty stomach.  The fiber in fruit pushes out old waste matter in the digestive track.  A really great morning fruit that acts like a diuretic is watermelon!  The water-based fruit helps flush out excess sodium through urinating.  The more sodium you flush out, the less water weight your body will hold.  When the immunse system is boosted and you flush out these old toxins from the day before, your energy levels will increase.  Melons drizzled with lime juice are a real energy booster! 

Eat.Morning.Fruit.  To your health!
