Launch Day 5 | Diet | Figs v’s Oranges

Figs aren’t exactly in season but they always remind me of the holidays for some reason, perhaps its the vibrant festive red fleshy seeds which reveal themselves once you unwrap their purple skins –  but whatever the season, if you see these guys at the market – do YOURSELF a favor and snap them up as they are FULL of  minerals, vitamins and fiber. Everyone always reaches for Oranges when they have symptoms of a cold setting in however figs which contain vitamin A,vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium, iron, phosphorus, manganese, sodium, potassium and chlorine are fantastic natural remedies for coughs, colds, bronchitis & asthma. It’s also fantastic for constipation, indigestion, piles and diabetes.

I was traveling recently in Italy and had the privilege of witnessing some of the most beautiful and established fig trees I’ve ever seen. Check ’em out below.
