A low- calorie snack high in both soluble and insoluble fiber. According to nutritionists, a large apple has about 130 calories, with no fat.Apples don't contain cholesterol or sodium, two nutrients that many people specifically avoid.25 grams of the 34 grams of carbohydrates in an apple are the fruit's natural sugars.

It is better to eat apples without peeling them because the fruit's skin contains over half of the vitamin C in the fruit.Pectin and fibre can both be found in apple skins, which are a valuable source of the fruit's fibre.

Are you looking for something to help you with weight loss?Try eating apples, which may accelerate weight loss, suggests a research involving 400 Brazilian women.

For a period of 12 weeks, women consumed either apples or oat cookies.The women who ate the apples had a significant weight loss of 1.21 kg after 12 weeks, according to the study, whereas the women who ingested the oat cookies had no significant weight loss.

The most nutritious fruit in the world. The reason, according to Health Online Zine, 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.”

Also avocados include fibre, protein, and healthy phytochemicals like lutein, glutathione, and beta-sitosterol that work as anti-inflammatory agents.Additionally, "fruits with a lot of calories are something you might be eating, like avocado.

This is a result of its higher fat content, which is about 20 times that of other fruits.According to nutritionists, avocados are a good source of vitamin C, thiamine, and riboflavin.

Vitamin C is required for the production of collagen, which is necessary for the growth of new cells and tissues and prevents viruses from penetrating cell membranes.

Thiamine also converts carbohydrates to glucose to fuel the brain and nervous system and riboflavin (helps the body to release energy from proteins, carbohydrates and fat).

According to the book ,Tropical And Subtropical Agriculture more bananas are consumed every day than maybe any other fruit in the world, whether they are cooked or raw.

Unknowingly, bananas are among the world's healthiest fruits. Alexander the Great was so enthralled by the benefits of this fruit that he called it "the divine fruit that tasted like nectar sweetened in honey."

Bananas, according to health professionals, are low in protein, fat-free, and high in energy.A fully ripe banana has 20% to 25% sugar.B-vitamin content is high, particularly in B1 and B6.

B1 is a brain tonic, whilst B6 helps with premenstrual tension syndrome symptoms like irritability, headaches, tender breasts, and water retention. A major study reveals that, eating a lot of potassium-rich bananas may be able to reduce the risk of stroke by one-third.

Scientists believe that by consuming more potassium-rich foods, like bananas, and less sodium (common salt), many people can be protected against strokes and heart attacks.
