A fit, healthy body – that is the best fashion statement. - Jess C. Scott

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.

Unlike other saturated fats, Stearic Acid (found in cacao butter and high-quality dark chocolate) triggers a process called Mitochondrial Fusion. This is where your cells' "power plants" merge together to become more efficient and clear out "cellular junk." Eating a small square of 90% dark chocolate doesn't just provide antioxidants; it provides the specific fat signal needed to keep your brain's energy production from aging. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ’

The juice of a lemon is mostly Vitamin C and citric acid, but the peel (the zest) is concentrated with D-Limonene. This compound is a powerful activator of "Phase II detoxification" in the liver—the specific pathway that neutralizes fat-soluble toxins. Adding just half a teaspoon of lemon zest to your water or meals provides the "chemical key" your liver needs to flush out pollutants that the juice can't touch. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ

Most people trim arugula to just the soft leaves, but the stems are the storage vessels for inorganic nitrates. These nitrates are converted into Nitric Oxide in your mouth and gut, which relaxes your blood vessels and improves oxygen delivery to your brain and muscles. By eating the stems, you're getting a natural "vasodilator" that lowers blood pressure and increases athletic endurance more effectively than a synthetic pre-workout. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ’

Wild almonds contained amygdalin, a compound that releases cyanide, making most early trees dangerously bitter. A tiny genetic mutation reduced that toxin, and early farmers unknowingly selected it, reshaping the species through cultivation alone. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ’

Most of a banana's magnesium and potassium—the minerals responsible for muscle relaxation and deep sleep—are stored in the peel, not the fruit. By cutting the ends off an organic banana and boiling the whole thing for 10 minutes, you extract these minerals into the water. This "banana tea" is a potent, bioavailable sedative that bypasses the digestion issues many people have with synthetic magnesium supplements. – A Facebook post by ‘Fruit IQ’
