(ARA) - Summer has officially arrived and Americans are including more anti-oxidant rich food in their daily diets and taking it along on weekend trips. One source of anti-oxidant rich food is simple everyday fruit.
Studies show eating fruit can assist in enjoying a healthy lifestyle. In fact, the U.S.D.A. has increased the recommended daily servings of fruit and vegetables to five to nine servings per day.
So why is fruit becoming first choice for those wanting to eat better and enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle? The answer is simple. Fruit is a great-tasting food that offers a cornucopia of natural health benefits. Due to advances in food technology, we are only just beginning to discover the many health secrets Mother Nature has placed in everyday fruit from apples to blueberries, cherries to pomegranates.
Food research continually reveals each fruit may offer natural health benefits unique to the specific fruit: cranberries may assist with maintaining urinary tract health, while blueberries may assist in maintaining healthy brain function.
For many, cherries are the fruit of choice for truly enjoying active summer months. Recent studies have revealed that cherries offer an assortment of health benefits including the ability to offer natural relief from joint pain caused from gout, arthritis and joint inflammation. Many are choosing to drink cherry juice concentrate, eat dried cherries or consume tart cherry fruit supplements to enjoy the natural benefits of this tiny red fruit.
Geoff Ficke is a living testimony of the soothing affects of tart cherries on the joint pain in his knees. "After fifteen years playing sports my knees had enough. After a friend recommended Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry, I am now able to play sports again. Within three weeks of taking the tart cherry supplements I am back on the court, what a difference," says Ficke.
In addition, to Mr. Ficke, consumers across America are reporting more active lifestyles after using Fruit Advantage Tart Cherry dietary supplements (www.fruitadvantage.com).
Another tart cherry product offering joint comfort is Fruit Advantage Cherry Prime. Cherry Prime is the first supplement to combine tart cherries with the joint lubrication and cartilage building benefits of Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Andrew LaPointe, director of marketing with Fruit Advantage says, “Many of our customers are leading more active lifestyles… Cherry Prime is the first supplement to combine the natural health benefits of tart cherries with the advantages of Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Cherry Prime is truly the next generation of fruit-based supplements.”
While today’s active and hectic lifestyles may inhibit the ability to fully enjoy fresh fruit daily, there is an excellent way to supplement your daily intake of fruit-based anti-oxidants. Fruit Advantage offers anti-oxidant rich, fruit-based supplements for people who strive to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
