3 Fruits to Eat for Any Diet

1. Apple

   Like they say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". That saying came from a family saying in 1866, which goes like this, "Eat an apple on going to bed, and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread." And it couldn't be truer. 

   Apples are full of fibre, as much as 5 grams, which can combat various illness like intestinal disorders, Alzheimer's and hemorrhoids. It's also packed with vitamin A and C to boost your immune system.

   It's also a great food for diabetics because it slowly releases sugar into the bloodstream. The pectin from apples can also reduce cholesterol levels by decreasing the insulin secretion.

   Plus, it detoxifies the body and cleanses the entire digestive track, purifying the body from heavy metals like lead and mercury. It also prevents tooth decay by getting rid of bacteria when chewed. Doctors say that it strengthens the heart, prevents kidney stones, reduces skin diseases and even fight cancer!

   Alongside to its myriad of health benefits, apples are acidic and juicy, which helps you feel full long afterwards. According to a Brazilian study, eating an apple before a meal helped women lose 33% more weight than those who didn't.* That's because 25% of an apple's volume is pure air. In that sense, it's a true powerfood!

    

   

   2. Banana 

   I am a huge fan of bananas, because they are so filling that it could be a meal replacement in of itself. One time I ate 8 of these on a super-long bus ride, and felt great afterwards!

   Bananas can combat various illnesses, like cardiovascular diseases through its potassium-packed body, anemia, and blood pressure. The potassium in bananas help to promote bone mass and counter the negative effects of high-salt diets which is damaging for bones. Banana's natural tryptophan helps to combat depression by converting itself into serotonin, the happy serum.

   Ladies, during your time of the month, eat a banana - its vitamin B6 helps to regular blood glucose level to help you get through the worst of it. Plus, bananas actually make you smarter - a research with schoolchildren showed that eating a banana a day boosts brain power and makes students more alert at school. 

   As for weight loss, bananas help you digest by restoring normal bowel action. So the next time you want to go potty, don't take a laxative, eat a banana!
