Pink Fruits

If you've been keeping up with me, you may know that I'm trying to shed a few pounds. One of the changes our group leader wants us to do is be very specific about 'how' we are going to accomplish our goal.

Instead of setting a goal of "I want to eat more fruit," we are encouraged to be more specific. So, one of my goals for this past week was: I will eat fruit with each meal. So, since I have fruit on my mind, I did a search on pink fruit.

Did you know that there was an apple named "Pink Lady?" I haven't seen these around here, but will look for them.

Of course I found watermelon. This is one of my very favorites! Can't wait til summer!
And I found pink grapefruit! Which I have to admit I've not developed a taste for! I probably should try since I found out this important information about pink grapefruits.

"Lycopene is an antioxidant pigment found in tomatoes, grapefruit and watermelon that gives these foods their reddish color. Studies show that including lycopene-rich foods in your diet may help to reduce the risk of prostate and breast cancer, macular degeneration and cardiovascular disease. Lycopene may also help prevent osteoporosis and reduce the severity of allergy symptoms"

I found some fruit that I had no idea even existed like this bowl of Lychees! Would you like to know more about them? Click here!
