Alkalinizing Seasonal Fruit
All fruits are connexin-enhancing by their highly alkalinizing properties. Fruit also contain other beneficial vitamins and minerals. For example bananas contain about 400mg of potassium per serving and contribute Vitamin B6. Blueberries are high in manganese and strawberries also add Vitamin B6. For these reasons, it is important to incorporate several servings of fruit into your daily diet. Try the below smoothie recipe, it's great for breakfast or as an afternoon snack and a delicious way to get your daily dose of essential minerals. This combination of fruit is truly an international collection:
Blueberry (Vaccinium Cyanoccus) true wild blueberries occur only in eastern North America and were first cultivated in the United States, in the village of Wihtesbog, in South Jersey.
Strawberry (Fragaria) comes from the Americas, and is a hybrid from both North and South America.
Banana (Musaceae Musa) is native to Southeast Asia, Malaysia and Australia. Today, bananas are grown in 132 countries worldwide.
Peach (Prunus Persica) is a tree native to China. In China, the peach was said to be consumed by immortals due to its mystic virtue of conferring longevity onto those that ate them.
