Benefits of Fruitarian Diet

A fruitarian diet promotes health and energy. According to the Fruitarian Foundation, one can become physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually healthier.

Below are the benefits experienced in following this diet:

• No headaches
• Healthier digestion
• Greater resistance to illness, pain
• Anti-ageing
• Disease prevention
• Increased mental power, happiness, confidence, concentration
• Weight loss
• Non-constipating
• An alkaline diet in nature
• Healthy skin, hair, eyes, nails

Besides the above benefits, it must be noted that there is no scientific evidence that eating a fruit-only diet can cure any disease. According to scientific research eating a major fruit diet can:

• Improve cholesterol levels, reducing the ‘bad’ cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL).
• Reduce high triglyceride levels.

Most of the cholesterol that contributes to heart disease comes from animal products and certain non-animal processed fats. Fruits contain no cholesterol and are heart friendly.
