And the winner is …P!

  • Pear
  • Pumpkin
  • Peach
  • Pomegranate
  • Passionfruit
  • Plum
  • Pumelo
  • Persimmon
  • Pineapple
  • Pawpaw
  • Papaya
  • Prune
  • Pond apple

Stimulate Your Brain

Standing on your head not working? Try Fresh FRUIT

Natural fruit sugars are the perfect brain food. When you eat an apple or a banana, quick clean energy goes to the brain and helps you to think clearer and remember things better.

On the other hand, some foods are brain blockers.

Refined white sugar and white flour products can have the opposite effect and slow down your thinking processes.

So … munch on a pear before that next big test. Your bran cells will thank you for it.



Word of the Week

Fructose: The natural sugar found in fruit.




Guava is the Most …

Most: Vitamin C Most: Carotinoids
Most: Nutritious

Eat one today!

Make your way through the pineapple to find extra brain power!
