Top 3 Most Nutritious Fruits
1. Apples. An apple a day keeps the doctor away is true to the saying – they are definitely one of the most nutrient dense fruits. One apple has only 80 calories and no fat but also contains 3 grams of fibre. Apples also fill you up and are a great satisfying snack. They contain natural sugars which keep your blood sugar level stable and are a perfect snack for diabetics. Apples may also reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
2. Potassium. The banana is very high in potassium as well as fiber. Potassium is essential for heart function as well as proper muscle function. If you are active, potassium is important as it helps your muscles repair themself. Potassium also give you energy they so they a great breakfast in a smoothie, sliced into your cereal or with a piece of toast.
3. Blueberries. Blueberries contain one of the highest amounts of antioxidants of all fruits due to its dark purple color. They are a great cancer preventer and also prevent bladder infections by making it hard for bacteria to stick to the walls of your urinary tract. Blueberries can also give your love life a boost by killing the free radicals that stop blood flow to your sexual organs.
One benefit of these three top fruits is that they are all readily available year round and are relatively inexpensive. Blueberries may be harder to find during the winter if you want them fresh but frozen is just as good. Make sure you buy organic fruits as much as possible – especially when it comes to apples because their skin can carry a lot of the pesticides farmers use when they are not organically grown.
