Most fruits are good for health, but then again, not every fruit qualifies as a ‘superfruit’. This term is used to describe fruits that pack in a nutritious mix of vitamins, minerals, fiber and other essential nutrients that help you look and feel better, and combat disease. Add these to your shopping list:
Acai Berries: When it comes to antioxidants, acai berries surpass most other fruits. Though you might not be able to find the whole fruit in the United States, try to consume its powdered form, using it in your smoothies and breakfast bowls.
Avocado: Loaded with monounsaturated fat and fatty acid, this superfruit can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase the good cholesterol. Avocados also boost the absorption of carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene and lycopene, both of which promote heart health.
Blueberries: In addition to being a good source of antioxidant, blueberries are also rich in manganese that aids your metabolism levels. This in turn, keeps your weight and energy levels in check.
Cherries: This scarlet fruit owes its deep color to an antioxidant called anthocyanin that can aid in the reduction of inflammation, and can help lower the triglyceride and cholesterol levels. Eating cherries is also linked to weight management and reduction of belly fat.
Apples: Who would’ve known our favorite fruit apple, which we eat so often, could be a superfruit too? It is a rich source of fiber, the antioxidant quercetin, and numerous nutrients that are known to reduced cholesterol, and improve heart health and digestion.
