The benefits of consuming the following food/fruits. The information is taken from Facebook posts by ‘Food IQ’. 👉 HERE I do not know how true, or accurate they are. But I do know that consumed in moderation, they will not do you any harm.
When rice is cooked and then cooled (even for just a few hours), the molecular structure changes into Resistant Starch Type 3. This starch acts as a "shield" because it doesn't turn into glucose in your blood. Instead, it travels to your large intestine where it ferments and produces Butyrate—a fatty acid that heals your gut lining and tells your body to burn fat for energy instead of storing it.

Most people discard the hard core, but that is where the highest concentration of Bromelain lives. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down proteins and is a powerful natural anti-inflammatory. In sports medicine, it's used to reduce swelling and muscle soreness. Instead of tossing it, chop the core finely into smoothies or salads to get a pharmaceutical-grade dose of joint protection that you can't get from the soft flesh. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ’
Commercial cucumbers are coated in a food-grade petroleum-based wax to prevent moisture loss. This wax doesn't just sit on top; it acts as a solvent that "locks" pesticides into the skin of the vegetable. No amount of scrubbing or vinegar-soaking can remove what's trapped under the wax. Unless you’re buying organic or home-grown, peeling the cucumber is the only way to reduce your pesticide exposure by up to 80%. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ’
When you eat sugar on an empty stomach, your blood glucose spikes instantly. However, if you eat dessert right after protein, the protein triggers the release of GLP-1 and Peptide YY (satiety hormones). These hormones physically slow down "gastric emptying"—the speed at which food leaves your stomach. This forces the dessert to wait in line, releasing its sugar into your blood in a slow drip rather than a flood, preventing the insulin spike that triggers fat storage. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ’
2026 gut health data shows that the number of different plant species you eat is the single greatest predictor of gut microbial diversity. Each plant (grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, fruits, veggies) contains unique fibers and polyphenols that feed different "specialist" bacteria. Most people eat the same 5-10 plants. By hitting 30, you diversify your gut flora so much that your immune system becomes significantly more resilient to inflammation and pathogens. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ’
