Grapefruit - Why You Should Make It Part of Your New Year

This new year, maybe you should resolve to eat more grapefruit. I know, it sounds like a bizarre request, but hear me out. Nutritionally speaking, grapefruit is a hero among fruits. Recent studies have found that eating this great fruit (get it? ha ha!) can slow down bone loss when eaten regularly. What, bone density doesn't interest you? Methinks it will when you break your hip doing the hustle.

Bone Density aside, here's an even more desirable reason to gobble up grapefruit -- it can help you lose weight. Eat it on a daily basis -- either in it's original or juice form -- and it will help you peel off those holiday pounds. Plus, with all the water and fiber, it's a great food to help you detox after New Year's Eve.

Just try to avoid piling on too much sugar -- that's just counter-productive.
