But It’s Just a Coffee

 


But It’s Just a Coffee

Copyright © 2011 Wayne Pickering

 

When is a coffee equivalent to an entire meal … or even an entire day’s worth of calories? When it’s one of the 40 unhealthiest coffees brewed. Just check out this list of coffees and their caloric content that the Daily Beast published today: The Daily Beast Media Gallery. Want to throw in a donut with that 1,190-calorie ice blended triple chocolate mocha?



For years I used to have coffee and donuts. I guess it was because of tradition. Then I got to loving the taste of it. As years went by, I found myself serving all my food on the basis of taste and tradition, and did it in haste and forgot about nutrition. No longer.

 

Instead of that cup of coffee and possibly a sweet roll for your breakfast, what’s a good pick-up in the morning? What would be a real good way to start the day? Did you know that fresh fruit is a real good pick-up?

 

So, what kind of fruit would be good to start the day? Any of your favorite fruits that are in season and can grow where you are at the time. Now, if you’re in an area where fruit is not grown or you’re getting towards that time of year where local fresh fruit is getting scarcer to come by, eat the kind of fruit that will ripen after it’s picked. Practically all fruit is picked green to ship and most fruits will not ripen after they’re picked, rendering little or no value to you whatsoever.

 

Here are a few fruits that will ripen after they’re picked:

  • Golden Delicious apples
  • Apricots
  • Bananas
  • Guava
  • Mangoes
  • Papaya
  • Pears
  • Persimmons
  • Pineapples
  • Plums
  • Pomegranates
  • Avocados
  • Cactus fruit

 

Fruits that will not ripen after they’re picked are:

  • All apples (except the Golden Delicious and Gravenstein)
  • All berries
  • Cherries
  • Citrus fruits
  • Figs
  • Grapes
  • Melons
  • Nectarines
  • Peaches

 

If you still want to have a cup of coffee during the day, have it around 2:30 or 3:00 pm. Maybe once or twice a week, instead of the coffee and donuts/sweet rolls or colas and candy bars, try your favorite fruit. This will be a quantum leap for your nutrition education and your body will reward you highly for it.

Thanks, and all the best.
