Health information

Bananas are an amazing fruit with so many health benefits for you. They are rich in fibre, pectin and also act as a prebiotic, all factors that aid in the digestion process. Bananas contain high levels of tryptophan which converts into serotonin once ingested. Serotonin is a ‘happy mood’ neurotransmitter in the brain. More reason on why bananas are good for you. 

Who doesn’t love the taste of chocolate? Before chocolate becomes what it is, it is initially just plain cacao, of course in order for it to become chocolate it goes through a few processes and other ingredients are added such as sugar. In this form you do not get all the health benefits that are found in pure raw cacao. These include a high content of B vitamins and vitamin C. The antioxidant properties reduce fight cancer causing free radicals. Other benefits include improved digestion, lowering blood pressure and increasing blood circulation and improved cardiovascular health.

Strawberries are the only fruit that have their seeds on the outside. The heart shape of a strawberry gives you an indication of one of the body parts it benefits the most. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamins C and K as well as providing a good dose of fibre, folic acid, manganese and potassium. The vibrant red colour of strawberries contains powerful antioxidants and are thought to protect against inflammation, cancer and heart disease.
