Before you jump to A Family Tradition Mexican Fruitcake recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Basics of Being Healthy.

We all realize that, in order to really be healthful, nutritious and balanced diets are important as are good amounts of exercise. Unfortunately, we do not always have the time or the power that this type of lifestyle demands. Working out at the gym isn’t something people want to do when they get off from work. People crave junk food, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy choices doesn’t have to be a chore. With training you can get all of the nutritional requirements and the exercise that you need. Here are some ideas to be as healthy as possible.

Choose water over other products. Soda and coffee, when used in moderation, aren’t that bad. Using them for your only source of hydration, on the other hand, is dumb. When you decide on water over other beverages you are helping your body stay very healthy and hydrated. You’re also cutting hundreds of calories from your diet— without having to be forced to eat terrible tasting diet food. Water is often the main element to successful weight reduction and healthfulness.

There are plenty of things you can do to become healthy. Not all of them require fancy gym memberships or restricted diets. It is the little things you choose on a daily basis that really help you with weight loss and becoming healthy. Make shrewd choices every day is a great start. A proper amount of physical activity each day is also important. Remember: being healthy isn’t just about reducing your weight. You really want your body to be strong too.

  9. This cake has been "A Family Tradition" for many decades. For family get-togethers & holidays someone always ask…Is Mexican Fruitcake on the menu? the ingredients are simple and very easy to make but in my opinion, its just a darn good cake!! The cake barely gets 'iced' & someone's usually right there with a plate. Ready to cut a. 'generous' slice out! Of course this cake does taste good warm & super delicious the next day. Once the cake has 'firmed' & the icing has 'setup'…. I'm starting to "rattle on" so I'll shut up for now.
  10. **Oh, the reason why its called "Mexican Fruitcake".. the cake portion, has the appearance (in general) of a fruitcake. Pineapples are also grown in Mexico, Hence the name Mexican Fruitcake, but tastes way better…lol
