Your body requires lots of water. But how many glasses of water can you drink in a day? And it needs fresh vegetables too. Too little water rich food, having too much food consisting of carbohydrates, proteins and high fat food and eating beyond moderation are among the causes of weight problem and low energy.
And this is why eating fruits is good for you. All fresh fruits provide nutrients, enzymes and are water rich and contain the natural sugar, fructose. And almost all of them contain fiber, protein and vitamins. They act as your body cleansing agent to eliminate waste. Dried fruits like figs, prunes, and raisins are equally healthy and provide medicinal benefits.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the easiest thing to do, provided you know the right tricks. Excess stress jolts your mind and you will see its spill-over effect in every aspect of your life. The key to counter daily pressures and stress is to lead a healthy life and develop healthy habits. You will find your productivity visibly enhanced and your mental framework quite positive, if you follow a healthy way of life.
