Abstract

The present work is intended to explain some of the
properties of the fruits and its application in different ways to
prevent diseases, taking into account that alternative medicine
with fruits is a therapeutic technique based on the medicinal
substances of the fruits, proteins, vitamins, mineral salts that
helps to metabolize the sugars, the lipids and others. Due to
their importance and their repercussion at the present time, our
country had carried out an intense battle to increase the
conscience about the daily consumption of the fruits through the
means of massive diffusion and the creation of agricultural
markets in different areas, for that, we have decided to develop
this topic leaning on in the properties of the fruits and its
application; that we can frequently find in our country and their
use to improve the health of our people. For the fulfilling of
this work were consulted varied websites and other sources of
information.

Key words: Fruits, properties, applications,
treatments
.

Introduction

At the time the man discovered the fire, his feeding was
based on the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Hipocrates (in
the centuries 460 at 377 B.C.) used the juice of the grenade as
feverish in sicks. An old Spanish proverb points out that the
olive oil all wrong removes. The olive tree cultivation is very
old. The Sumerians, primitive inhabitants of the south of
Babylon, already knew the olive tree in the year 4000 B.C. and
the Egyptians make mention of the oil in the Eber"s papyrus,
three millennia before the Christian Era. (1)

The Greeks assured that the olive was the goddess's gift
Atenea to the floor of Greece. It counts the history that, the
Great Alejandro lost 20 governors to pick up the peach of the
Valley of Sogdiana. Its original name is cajú (marked /
cashú /) word that comes from acashúm (written in
Portuguese acajum), name that belongs to an indigenous dialect of
Brazil. It is said that in the year 1558 the monk and French
naturalist André Thevet, already made reference in his
stories and illustrations to the plants and its fruits. From
cashú it is derived the English term cashew.
(2)

When the Portuguese settlers arrived at; got a lot the
attention of the nutritional properties of their nuts, it is said
that the Portuguese took the seeds to the India for 1568 and
starting from here it was introduced in the Southwest Asia,
arriving to Africa in the second half of the XVI century .
(3)

The first imports of seeds from the India were made by
United States in the year 1905. Between this year and 1914
exports of seeds to France and England were also carried out. In
1923 India exported 45 tons of seeds toward EE.UU, the trip
between the India and EE.UU. took 45 to 50 days around. Already
for 1941 the India makes a world monopoly thanks to the export of
this product. Owing to the Second World War the exports suffered
a paralyzation in 1943, but it was renewed when the North
American government allowed the trade of the nuts from the India
to get his corrosive oil because it was considered of warlike
interest for the country. (4)

In 1956 is created in Brazil an experimental field of
the Institute of Investigation and Agricultural Experimentation
of the Northeast with the purpose to experience with cashew
cultivations to a great scale for their later study, was the
agricultural engineer Esmerino Gomes Parente who showed in this
experimental field a total of 36 plants. For 1965 was carried out
a selection work in the full experimental field with plants to
study their morphological aspects, in 1976 it is started an
agronomic program with the cashew seeds implanting genes of a
mature plant in a young plant to obtain the fruits in a smaller
time. (5)

In the 90´s and beginnings of the XXI century had
an increase in the cashew exports, becoming one of the foods with
more demand in the world. Although many tropical fruits have
adapted to places of warm climates, as the cherimoyas, the
melons, the khakis or the kiwis, the great majority of the
tropical fruits come from tropical or subtropical countries as
Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Honduras and Ecuador.
These fruits arrive at other destination places and they suffer
different processes that take them to the best conditions.
(6)

However, with the continuous development of the
pharmacology, the man has gone displacing more and more the use
of the fruits for the preventive treatment of illnesses
substituting them by products subjected to chemical processes,
without keeping in mind the incalculable medicinal properties of
many of them. If the people had enough knowledge about the
advantages that contribute the consumption of the most important
fruits we will be able to carry out a healthier life.
(7)

It is of paramount importance to state that in our
country exist a bit unknowing of this topic, that is why some
people are not aware of the importance of fruits´
consumption in different ways, as well as the varied of use of
them. It results contradictory because our country is rich in
fruits and we can find them everywhere, but we still do not
manage the wide use of them and in some cases its properties are
ignored. Specifically, our province Moxico, is the biggest of the
Angolan territory and people are not conscious in this important
knowledge that is a guaranty for the health of the population as
such. There are not supported materials related to this and there
are not events to promote it. Nevertheless, our country had
carried out an intense battle to increase the conscience about
the daily consumption of the fruits through the means of massive
diffusion and the creation of agricultural markets in different
areas. That´ s why, we want to explain and promote in a
general way, the properties and application of the fruits to live
more and better.

Development

The man from remote times not only used the fruits in
his alimentary diet, but also with therapeutic ends, and with the
passing of the time began to study its properties. Substituting
in occasions, motivated by the own development of the science,
the nutritional contributions of the fruits by pharmacs. However
at the present time it has been recaptured as a strategy of
health the importance of the necessary consumption of the fruits
with the objective of achieving the human's fuller development.
(8)

The word fruit comes from the Latin
“frutus´´ that means the fruit, the vitality, the
gain. The fruit is the group of eatable fruits that can be
obtained of cultivated or wild plants, but contrary to the other
vegetable foods (vegetables and cereals) the fruits possess a
flavor and intense aroma; and some different nutritious
properties, for it the fruit usually takes like fresh or cooked
dessert. It suits to eat them when they are mature. As foods they
have properties like: rich in vitamins and minerals, few calories
and a high percentage of water (between an 80 and 95%).
(9)

The fruits are rich foods in proteins (builders), lipids
(fuels) glucids (foods of force); all are rich in salts minerals
and vitamins, acids, oligoelements and other vital substances in
different quantities that depend of:

  • The fertility of the floors.

  • The climate (it is warm, temperate,
    etc).

  • The variety.

The human being requires food to build and/or to restore
his organism according to the energy waste he daily has.
Therefore; it is advisable the rational consumption of the fruits
that grow in the high part of the plants and when being more
exposed in the sun and to the air they are very energetic.
(10)

In 1970 the alternative medicine begins to be
investigated as well as new techniques related with fruits, and
studies and other deepen investigations regarding their
therapeutic and nutritional properties. (11)

The alternative medicine with fruits is a therapeutic
technique based on the medicinal substances of the fruits,
proteins, vitamins, mineral salts and, oligoelements that helps
to metabolize the sugar, the lipids and the proteins; also, they
act in damaged organs.(12)

Natural
Pharmacs

The natural pharmacs are very requested in the market
because everybody knows that they have a similar effective that
those elaborated in laboratory and have less or any secondary
effect too. Our ancestors already knew how to cure through the
nature and the feeding; now, we begin to recover that wisdom
confirming through numerous studies that the nature is our allied
one. (32)

With the realization of this work we could increase our
knowledge and culture in relation with the topic, on the other
hand, we agree with the criteria of the authors and sources of
information consulted, taking as a point of departure that the
treatment with fruits and its applications are well-known in the
world but our country is not very well conscious of its
importance. That is so, our proposal is aimed at elaborating and
promoting a kind of guidelines with the fruits that commonly
appear in Angola, mainly in Moxico to make people conscious the
effective use of them

Conclusions

With the realization of this topic review we increase
our knowledge and culture in regard to this work. We totally
agree with the criteria of the authors and sources of information
consulted, taking as a point of departure that the treatment with
fruits and its applications are well-known in the world but our
country is not very well conscious of its importance.

With the creation and promotion of an educative program
with the fruits that commonly appear in Angola, mainly in Moxico
to make people conscious the effective use of them, will allow
the inhabitants of the locality to have a healthy
life.
