HEALTHY FRUITS

I recently picked up a health guide in my oncologist's office. While reading through it, I found an interesting article on fruits and our health. I think we all know that all fruit is nutritious, but some fruits are more abundant in vitamins, minerals, fiber and protective compounds than others. The following is a quote from the article, "Filling up on blueberries, oranges, apples, and similar snacks can bolster your immune system and benefit your health in other ways, reducing your risk for heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers. Eating five servings of fruits and veggies a day is even linked to lower mortality rates, per a 2021 Harvard University study."

I plan to use the next few daily posts to go over the 15 healthiest fruits you can eat, ranked by scientists. Can you guess which is number one? You guessed correctly if you said blueberries! Tomorrow's post will go into more detail.
