It cannot be overestimated how important fruits are for a healthy lifestyle. But even though we all know and try to follow the rules, we still sometimes find it hard to include them in our day-to-day meals. Because of that, we decided to put together some interesting facts that you probably didn’t know about fruits. After reading this, you will know to consume them for their benefit, and not because you keep hearing how important they are.
1. Oranges do not have the level of Vitamin C you think they have
Research has shown that this fruit is not even on the top ten list of foods that can help you enhance the level of vitamin C in your system. Papaya, strawberries, pineapple, kiwi and mango play an even more important role in boosting your immune system. The required level of vitamin C for an adult is around 40mg a day.
2. Any form of fruits is nutritious
You may have heard that frozen fruits are not as nourishing as fresh ones. But a study undertaken by FDA has demonstrated that any decrease in nutrition from freezing fruits is insignificant. Therefore, you can have them frozen, fresh or even as drinks and you will still get the same benefits. It is important though to remember that if you prefer the juice, make sure to prepare it at home, as the ones in the supermarket only contain 10% fruits.
All this being said, try to boost your well-being by implementing these useful tips in your daily diet. Additionally, if you feel that your system needs a little bit of help in retaining vitamins, calcium or potassium, you can always talk to your doctor or pharmacist about it.
