Grapes were the food of the Gods in Rome, fed to them by slaves while they reclined in their baths. During the reign of Cleopatra, many natural foods were consumed as well. And we continue to promote the very foods the Romans ate, to boast a wealth of healthy living benefits.
The darker the natural food, the more powerful the cancer fighters inside your body are. Fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, purple grapes, figs, cranberries and good quality plums, should be consumed on a regular basis for a wealth of healthful benefits.
Purple grapes rule. These are the richest tasting table grapes; Choose bunches of these beauties with pliable stems and plump, full-colored berries. Purple grapes can be stored in refrigerator for up to one week, as long as they are unwashed. When ready to serve, rinse well. Purple grapes are like “a little bit of heaven” when put on cereal, waffles or served with light cheese. Chopped grapes make a delightful substitution for syrup or sugar. The healthy bonus is purple grapes contain Manganese and fibre.
Super-sweet figs are one of the fruit family’s greatest delicacies. These deep purple beauties should be free of bruises and have their stems intact in order to keep well as figs are picked when they are fully ripe. Serve at once or chill up to 2 days; return to room temperature prior to serving. Many people cut the figs and put a dribble of honey on them; this is optional. The healthy bonus of figs is they are rich in fibre, potassium and manganese.
Cranberries are such a delight when served fresh cooked with turkey and dressing. These tart, delightful tasty berries can be frozen up to 6 months and they even will last up to 2 months in the refrigerator. Do not wash cranberries until ready to use. Favorite recipes for cranberries are muffins, pumpkin bread, scones, salads, often are used in dried form to snack on. One package of cranberries with 1 cup sugar stirred in and simmered for 30 minutes will provide the most delightful sauce. Healthy bonus of cranberries is they contain Vitamin C and fiber.
Dark plums are delightful to use as a snack, for lunches, canned, made in an upside down cake, or stewed. Good quality plums have just the right balance of sweet and tart flavor. Ripen plums at room temperature; they are ready to eat when the fruit gives slightly when squeezed. Black plums (dark dark purple) are grown usually in Chile, are fairly expensive, but oh so tasty! Always remember to wash any fruits carefully before drying and consuming. Healthy bonus of eating plums is they contain Vitamin C and fiber.
Purple fruits are one of the most scrumptious fruits, very satisfying and offer us a wealth of healthful benefits. Remember these gems in your eating plans for good health.

Help answer the question about healthy living
I need a motto for healthy living and being drug free?At my school, we're planing on having a family night for kids, but we need a motto and I can't think of one. I need one that deals with healthy living but then has to do with drugs too. Our group is about saying no to drugs, but this years theme is healthy living. So if you can think of one it would be greatly apprieciated. It also needs to be appropriate for the kids and for them to understand it.

I understand your concerns but I think you're going about it the wrong way. You're not going to convince a man he needs to change what he eats and does becasue you feel that way or say he should. You should eat like you want to and let him do the same. He is a grown man and has the right to make that decision. I'm sure he likes being told what he should be eating and doing about as much as you would like him telling you to eat like he does. Just understand you are two different people and have different ideas. If he sees how healthy you are eating, he may change his idea on things becasue he wants to but definitely not becasue you are telling him too and fussing about it. Goodluck.
Depends where you live.
In big city, in suburbs, in rural areas, in smaller towns.
Cost of living varies greatly, especially rent or purchase price of house.
