Fruit – Good or Bad?

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, was well known for his diet. It was primarily composed of fruit. I too am fond of fruit. . .at least to some degree. When my bride and I picked black berries this summer and enjoyed them in several ways, I was quite happy. I have finally learned how to cut up a fresh pineapple – and they are wonderful. How can one get through a hot Texas summer without a watermelon or two?

“There are some people out there who are fruitarians, and from what we can tell they’re perfectly healthy,” says Dr. Robert Lustig, a neuroendocrinologist and professor emeritus of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco. (However, full-blown fruitarianism is so restrictive that it has been linked to nutritional deficiencies in some people, and may be unsafe for children and those with certain medical conditions, like diabetes.) But for healthy adults, experts say that eating lots and lots of fruit is unlikely to get you into trouble, as long as it’s part of a normal diet. (TIME)

There is some fruit that will never get you in trouble, and will increase your Spiritual health exponentially when they are centric in your regimen. Feel free to use them regularly and frequently in every aspect of your life. They are, like Earthly fruit (apples, bananas, pineapple, berries, etc.), a gift from God, and are central in His design to provide for you an abundant life full of happiness, joy and peace.

Here’s a short list for your perusal: the fruit of the Spirit is llove, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Go ahead. Get some fruit in you!!
