Dried Fruit Verses Fresh Fruit Nutrition Facts

Dried fruit is just as healthy as fresh fruit. The thing you need to watch out for when eating dried fruit is "eating too much." Dried fruit is much smaller than fresh fruit. You can easily over-eat dried fruit just because of it being smaller in size. For example, it is easier to eat 30 raisins in a few hours than it is to eat 30 grapes in the same amount of time.



Another aspect to consider when eating dried food is the added sugar. Some dried fruit makers add extra sugar to their products. Dried fruit like fresh fruit already contains natural sugar.

Dried fruits contain more fiber and more phenol antioxidants than fresh fruit per ounce, which is a plus for eating dried fruits. A diet rich in plant phenols lowers risk for heart disease, diabetes, several kinds of cancer and possibly degenerative brain disease.

If you like dried fruits, keep eating them. They are full of healthy nutrients. Just avoid those with added sugar.

Life's Abundance Minerals and Antioxidants Drink Mix

Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.

We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.

Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.

This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.

Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.

Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.

Give hydration a boost with Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants. In two delicious flavors, Cherry and Tropical Fruit, pour into a water bottle for a convenient, go-anywhere nutritious drink. Take it to the gym or give a bottle to the kids … it’s delicious, refreshing and nourishing!
