In Honor of National Donut Day, Best-selling Author and Huffington Post Columnist Natalie Pace Encourages You to Eat a Persimmon or Pomegranate Instead

Natalie Pace's newest book, The Gratitude Game, offers 21 days to a healthier, wealthier, more beautiful you.



If real food just doesn't satisfy you, then you are probably addicted to sugar.

    SANTA MONICA, CA, November 05, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In honor of National Donut Day and to celebrate the release of her new book, The Gratitude Game, bestselling author and Huffington Post columnist Natalie Pace lists 10 reasons opting for a persimmon will make you happier than slamming down another sugary donut.

10 Reasons to Eat a Persimmon (or a Pomegranate) Instead of a Donut Today

1. 1/3 of Americans are obese. 80% of our food has added sugar. So, even if you "diet" you can still be consuming far too much sugar in your diet - even if you pass up the donuts today.

2. Doesn't a persimmon have sugar, too? Sure. But it is also packed with Vitamin C, B and A, iron, manganese and more.

3. Persimmons have half the calories. 195 calories in the average doughnut, compared to 70-120 for the persimmon.

4. Health is wealth. Eat right and you'll have more energy for earning active and passive income (instead of the crash and sugar blues of donuts). If you consume too much sugar (and donuts), then you'll be spending vast amounts of money on health care and weight loss plans that others spend on vacations.

5. Health is beautiful. Want more love and energy in your life? Opt for fuel not candy when you open your mouth.

6. Here's a $3 trillion reason. America spends over $3 trillion every year on health care. Imagine spending $3 trillion on better schools and colleges, books, computers and classrooms instead! Let's get America healthy!

7. According to the CDC, poor nutrition causes "much of the illness, suffering, and early death related to chronic diseases and conditions."

8. Persimmons are in season. When you eat food that is in season, you ingest a nutrition-packed, delicious fuel (instead of the sugary, short-term thrill).

9. Sugar acts like cocaine in your brain, encouraging you to eat more and more (and gain weight). It's very doubtful that you'll want to eat a plate of persimmons, as you might be tempted to do with cookies! But if you do, then you're consuming a lot of vitamins and minerals that are quite good for you.

10. If real food just doesn't satisfy you, then you are probably addicted to sugar. Once you kick the habit, food that your body loves will become tastes that your tongue loves, too.

The Gratitude Game: 21 Days to a Healthier, Wealthier, More Beautiful You is available now on Amazon. Day 5's Mantra is: Faith. Have faith that as you invest in health, you are also investing in a more prosperous and abundant life.
