We all know fruits and vegetables are the BOMB for sustaing good health and weight loss, but I must admit I have become bored with the same ole, same ole same ole stuff. Know what I mean???? My solution to this is each week(if God allows), I will try a new fruit and veggie. God has abundantly given us so many wonderful things to enjoy and I settle for the same old. I thought perhaps I would broaden my horizons and stretch out my knowledge base. I may have to frequent different markets and ethics stores but "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof" He gave all the foods to us. Genesis 1:29 reads "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat". Fruits and veggies are the dieter's dream since they are low in calories and free of harmful fats. They also pack a wallop of good vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibers, plant sterols, bioflavonoids and the list goes on. Boy, what a beautiful picture and figure fruits and veggies can produce. Which is probably why God gave them to us for our meat(food) Isn't He wonderful, he thought of everything!!!
My two new things will be:
purlsane: its a vegetable with about 10 calories per 1/2 cup. It is to be prepared like fresh spinach and is said will help lower blood pressure
prickly pear: one medium has 42 calories and is rich in vitamin C and magnesium. I'll let you know how they agreed with my palate.. Feel free to add your new tastes to the blog..More fruits and veggies why? Because health matters......
