Experts note that all fruits are healthy, but some of them are particularly useful, writes the British newspaper “Today”.
Blueberries
They have the reputation of being the healthiest fruit. This is due to the anthocyanins it contains. Research shows that including blueberries in your diet can reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. They improve cognitive abilities and strengthen mental abilities. Other studies show that eating blueberries can help maintain a healthy weight.
Berries
Just 8 pieces will provide the necessary amount of vitamin C per day. Vitamin C is an antioxidant involved in immune function and collagen production. There is also evidence that strawberries can reduce markers of inflammation.
Raspberries
A cup of raspberries delivers key nutrients like magnesium, potassium and vitamin C. They’re also rich in ellagic acid and quercetin, antioxidants that protect cells from disease-causing damage.
Avocado
A study found that replacing some carbohydrates in a meal with half or a whole avocado was linked to improved heart health in overweight and obese people.
Watermelon
Watermelon and 100% watermelon juice contain a compound called L-citrulline, which has been shown to reduce muscle soreness after exercise. Watermelon is also a good post-workout choice as it is approximately 90% water.
Dates
The peculiarity of dates is that they are sweet, but do not contain sugar and have a low glycemic index. Dates make the list of healthiest fruits because they offer impressive benefits, including maintaining brain and gut health.
Prunes
They are useful for the health of the digestive system, as well as for the bones.
Kiwi
Kiwifruit provides more than 100% of your daily vitamin C needs and helps improve sleep, digestion and mood. The health benefits of kiwi fruit come from a wide range of nutrients, antioxidants and bioactive compounds.
Cherries
Cherries can help you sleep better and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress factors involved in the initiation and development of many chronic diseases. Eating cherries can also reduce muscle soreness caused by exercise.
Bananas
They contain a variety of nutrients, including fiber, potassium, copper, magnesium, and vitamin B6.
Apples
In addition to fiber, apples contain powerful antioxidants. Daily consumption of this fruit lowers blood pressure, total cholesterol and also supports healthy endothelial function – an indicator of how well the lining of blood vessels works.
Grapefruit
Vitamin C in grapefruit promotes collagen production, which keeps skin healthy and helps prevent wrinkles and sagging skin. This antioxidant also supports healthy immune system function. This fruit can also be an excellent weapon against cancer. Compounds in grapefruit may have anti-cancer properties, and research on vitamin C shows that people who consume high amounts of it have a lower incidence of various types of cancer, including bladder, breast, lung, pancreatic and prostate cancer .
Sun
The compounds in this fruit act as an internal sunscreen, protecting you from UV rays. Other potential benefits of consuming pomegranate and its juice include improved memory, protection against cancer, lowered blood pressure, and reduced muscle soreness and fatigue after exercise.
Pears
The high fiber content in pears promotes digestive health, blood sugar control, heart health and weight control. Additionally, evidence suggests that eating two pears each day improves metabolic health in people with metabolic syndrome.
Blackberries
In addition to being rich in fiber, the compounds in blackberries have antiviral and antibacterial properties that target the microbes that cause tooth decay and gum disease. In addition, blackberries can help improve insulin sensitivity and prevent obesity.
