Fruit Consumption and Cancer Risk


Hey guys,
This is Omer Celtik. I would like to share this information with all of you guys. I have read it on National Cancer Institute about fruit consumption and cancer risk:

"Limited Fruit and Vegetable Consumption is a Cancer Risk

People whose diets are rich in plant foods such as fruits and vegetables have a lower risk of getting cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, lung, and there is some suggested evidence for colon, pancreas, and prostate. They are also less likely to get diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. A diet high in fruits and vegetables helps to reduce calorie intake and may help to control weight.

To help prevent these cancers and other chronic diseases, experts recommend 4 to 13 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, depending on energy needs. This includes 2 to 5 servings of fruits and 2 to 8 servings of vegetables, with special emphasis on dark-green and orange vegetables and legumes. There is no evidence that the popular white potato protects against cancer. "

Forget about Monavie, take a look at the benefits of Acai berry

Most people are very skeptic about any new product or company in the market including myself. Whenever we hear someone trying to sell us something or talking to us about a business opportunity we immediately turn on our defense system. I want you guys to forget about Monavie and its health benefits for a second and focus on the benefits of Acai berry.



This mysterious berry from Amazon Rain Forest of South America has been consumed by native people in Brazil for thousands of years to boost their energy and to heal their injuries. Even though Acai berry is still researched to figure out all of its benefits and contents, some of the known beneficial nutrients are, on a gram for gram basis, Higher Antioxidants than any other fruits or vegetables in the market (Acai Antioxidant level is 1,027 where as Cranberry is 95 and Blueberry is 93), Phytonutrients, Vitamins and Minerals, Amino Acids, Dietary Fiber, Complex Carbohydrates, Healthy Fats. How can all these ingredients in one single berry affect your overall health? Some of the benefits of acai berry are as listed below:



1. Boosts your energy level.

2. Improves your vision

3. Helps you sleep better

4. Helps your joint problems

5. Lowers you cholesterol

6. Cleanses and detoxifies your body

7. Lowers your blood pressure

8. Lowers your stress level

9. Prevents wrinkles

10. Anti aging

11. Helps improve your digestion

12. Lowers your Arthritis pain

13. Helps Osteoporosis

14. Lowers Prostate risk

15. Lowers Alzheimer risk

16. Improves your sexual function



These are just some of the benefits of one single berry that I can name right now. This amazing berry has started getting more and more popular in our daily life. We see more and more new Acai products every day in the market. Most important thing for us American consumers to do is to stay away from the artificially sweetened watery products that have the name "Acai' on them and to try to find the right one that is all natural and still holds all of its health benefits.

God bless you guys and have a Healthy and Happy life...
