Many winter fruits are packed with fresh flavor and excellent nutrition—and boast as much or more health benefits as some of summer’s favorites. Add these fabulous fruits to your shopping basket this season and enjoy!


Clementine

The smallest of the mandarin oranges, clementines are a tasty, nutritious snack: eat two and you get a day’s worth of vitamin C, for only 70 calories.

Grapefruit

Sweet, tart and tangy, grapefruit are in their prime during the winter. Grapefruit is an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of fiber, potassium and folate. The pink and red varieties provide lycopene, an antioxidant associated with prostate health. Studies have shown that the soluble fiber in grapefruit may be beneficial in lowering cholesterol.

Kiwi

A study from Rutgers University compared 27 of the most popular fruits, determining that the kiwi is the most nutritionally dense of them all. One tangy-sweet kiwi supplies a full day’s dose of vitamin C, plus good amounts of potassium, a mineral linked with healthy blood pressure. Plus, kiwi contains more vitamin E, an antioxidant, and more lutein, a nutrient connected with protecting your vision, than almost every other fruit or vegetable—for only 50 calories. Enjoy a kiwi unadorned: simply cut it in half and scoop with a spoon.

Mango

Mangoes are the world’s most heavily consumed fruit—not surprising when there are more than 1,000 known varieties. The deep orange color of a mango comes from beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant. Mangoes also contain good amounts of vitamin C and fiber. For a quick mango smoothie, combine 1 cup diced mango, 1 banana, 1 cup vanilla yogurt and a splash of orange juice in a blender and mix.

Persimmon

With an intoxicating flavor of honeyed pumpkin and ripe apricot, one persimmon boasts about half the vitamin C and a quarter of the fiber you need each day. For a simple salsa, combine diced permission with minced onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Serve on fish tacos or with tortilla chips.

Shaolin Body Conditioning Tincture

Image
At the Shaolin Temple, once a disciple begins to study one of the seventy-two styles, they are given a specific Qigong and a specific recipe to make a body conditioning tincture. In the past, the monks used to lie in baths of these tinctures but today we apply this tincture to our body. After making up this tincture, the disciples then adapt it slightly and each disciple has his own recipe.   Mine is made from twenty-five natural herbs, roots and barks. Some of the herbs help the blood to flow, some help to strengthen the bones, others help the muscles to relax. This medicine can also be used for injuries, bruising, and some people say that it can be effective for repetitive strain injury though I have no experience of this so I don’t know if this is true. My own experience is in body conditioning. I used it when I was learning Shaolin Steel Jacket and I could never have endured this hard training without the aid of this special medicine. The first thing we do when we do body condit
