Top 10 healthiest fruits in the world

Apple Pulse

A low-calorie snack, high in both soluble and insoluble fibre. Nutrition experts claim one large apple has around 130 calories, and none come from fat. Apples also have no sodium or cholesterol—nutrients many want to expressly avoid. One apple has 34 grams of carbohydrates, 25 grams of which come from the fruit’s natural sugars.

Looking for something to help you lose some weight? Try eating apple, which may help to increase weight loss, according to a study involving about 400 women in Brazil. Women ate either apples or oat cookies for a period of 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, the researchers found that the women who consumed the apples had a significant weight loss of 1.21 kilograms, while the group of women who ate the oat cookies showed no significant weight loss.

2. Avocado

Avocado Pulse

The most nutritious fruit in the world. The reason is that the fruit “contains in excess of 25 essential nutrients, including vitamins A, B, C, E and K, copper, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium.”

Avocado also contains fibre, protein and beneficial phytochemicals, such as beta-sitosterol, glutathione and lutein, which help protect against various diseases and illnesses. In addition, “avocado is one of the high-calorie fruits that you could be eating. This is due to its larger amounts of fat content, approximately 20 times the average of other fruits.”

3. Banana

Bananas Pulse

It is believed that more bananas are consumed daily than perhaps any other fruit in the world. Alexander the Great was so fascinated by the virtues of this fruit that he described it as “the heavenly fruit that tasted like nectar sweetened in honey.”

Health experts claim that banana is low in protein, free of fats but high in energy. A fully ripe banana has 20 percent to 25 percent sugar. It has a significant quantity of B-vitamins, especially B1 and B6. B1 is a brain tonic, whereas B6 relieves, in particular, uncomfortable symptoms of the pre-menstrual tension syndrome like irritability, headaches, tender breasts and water retention.

4. Citrus fruits

Citrus Fruit Pulse

Oranges, lemons, tangerine, passion fruit, etc are breaming with Vitamin C. Vitamin C may help alleviate inflammatory conditions like asthma, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It also protects the heart and boosts the immune system. That’s why it’s good for preventing colds.

Citrus fruits contain a fair amount of folate and potassium. Folate lowers homocysteine levels in the body and may reduce heart disease. All citrus fruits contain fibre, especially in the membranes separating the sections. For that reason, when you eat a fresh orange or grapefruit, it is best to try to eat a bit of the white membrane around the juicy sections of the fruit, according to experts.

5. Coconut

Coconut fruit Pulse

Sugar from coconut is all natural. That is why it is recommended to people with diabetics. Studies have shown that it has a low glycemic index (GI) of 35, which is much lower than the 54 GI, which nutritionists consider as safe for people who have to watch their blood glucose level.

It has also glumatic acid, the same ingredient present in Viagra. You heard that right.

6 Grapes

Black grapes Pulse

Grapes contain important ingredients such as tannins, flavonoids and anthocyanins. These chemicals are believed to give grapes their anticancer properties. They are also beneficial for those recuperating from an illness, and those who have anemia and fatigue. In fact, during Mahatma Gandhi’s long fasts, he would drink grape juice to keep his strength up.

7 .Papaya

Papaya Pulse

Low in calories and full of nutrition, papaya has more vitamin C than an orange, according to experts. It’s loaded with vitamin A, potassium, folate and fibre. It also contains lutein and zeaxanthin, substances which help protect our eyes from age-related blindness.

Papaya helps in the prevention of atherosclerosis, diabetes and heart disease. It is also great when it comes to the heart. The antioxidants fight the cholesterol present in the blood and prevent it from building into plaques that clog the arteries. Apart from that, the rich fibre content of the fruit breaks down toxic substances like homocysteine into easily absorbable amino acids, reducing the chances of heart stroke.

8. Pineapple

Pineapples Pulse

Pineapples are loaded with vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. It is also rich in fiber and calories. On top of it all, this fruit is low in fat and cholesterol.

Since pineapples are rich in vitamin C, they can fight off viruses that cause cough and colds. Even when you are already infected with such an ailment, pineapples can help you, health experts claim. As the fruit is loaded with bromelain, it is effective in suppressing coughs and loosening mucus.

9. Strawberry

Strawberries Pulse

Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, according to dietitians. Most mammals—except for human beings—have the ability to produce vitamin C naturally, which is why it’s important to have a regular dose of strawberries.

Nutritionists say strawberries are packed with vitamins B2, B5, B6, and K, copper and magnesium. They also contain folate, a key ingredient in the manufacture of red blood cells. Strawberries, likewise, contain omega fatty acids and essential fibre.

10. Watermelon

Watermelon is packed with some of the most important antioxidants found in nature and it is an excellent source of vitamin C and a very good source of vitamin A, particularly through its concentration of beta-carotene. Food experts recommend watermelon as a very good source of vitamin B6 and a good source of vitamin B1 and magnesium. Because of its higher water content and calorie value, it is ranked more valuable than other fruits.

Two cups of watermelon (280 grams) contain 80 calories, zero fat, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 10 milligrams of sodium, 80 micrograms of vitamin A, lots of vitamin B2, 80 milligrams of vitamin C, 18 milligrams of lycopene, and ample amounts of potassium, iron and calcium.
