FIVE SERVINGS OF FRUIT CONTAIN MANY BLESSINGS

We've heard it often: "eat plenty of fruit." Three studies have demonstrated additional reasons for doing so. In a report published in the British medical journal Lancet, past studies involving over 200,000 patients revealed that those who ate at least three servings of fruit daily had significantly fewer strokes than those who ate less fruit.

In another study, high intake of fruits and vegetables was associated with less risk of Alzheimer's, and less evidence of cognitive decline in the elderly years. Finally, a study conducted at the University of Montreal and published in the International Journal of Cancer, demonstrated that a diet rich in fruits was associated with significantly less cancer of the pancreas.

Eating more fruit seems to help in many ways in addition to stimulating the mind. This leads to the thoughts of many this 10th day of February, 2009 when job losses can cause individual depression as well. The CBC radio this morning interviewed a man who helps people looking for a new job and how to expand the possibility of a change of careers that could lead to an even more suitable job. The website given was: www.careerjoy.com. I am not looking for a job myself but checked out this website and found it very interesting. It never hurts look into it.
