Fruit for Heart Health

An apple a day will keep the doctor away or more precisely the cardiologist. Research published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that eating fruit is particularly effective at lowering the risk of heart disease. A 20-year study published in 2002 showed that the risk of stroke and heart attack was significantly reduced in people who ate at least 3 servings of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Additional research has shown that apples and grapes specifically have certain antioxidants that reduce susceptibility to heart disease by reducing inflammation linked to blockage of the arteries. You can supercharge the overall holistic effect by consuming organic fruits and vegetables.

Colon Health and Vitamin Nutrition

Your colon contains billions of bacteria. However, these bacteria in the colon are important for your holistic health. The normal bacterial flora in the colon can synthesize some vitamins such as Vitamin K, Niacin, Vitamin B-12, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid. However, the body cannot absorb other vitamins which cannot be absorbed and are excreted from the body. Therefore, you should pay attention to how quickly your vitamins are broken down before they move into the colon and in what form you receive your vitamins.
