Eat 5 kinds of fruits to prevent chronic diseases
Apples are good for the brain. Research has found that quercetin, an antioxidant contained in apples, can improve the overall health of the nervous system. Researchers from Cornell University in the United States found that Apple helps protect nerve cells from oxidative stress and reduces the risk of cognitive impairment.
Bananas prevent heart disease. The dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin C and vitamin B6 contained in bananas work together to ensure that the heart is in an optimal working state.
Grapes help burn fat. Resveratrol, which is rich in grapes, has a particularly good effect on burning fat. Researchers from the University of Georgia found that resveratrol can cause fat cells to decompose 2.46 times faster than normal.
Oranges can lighten wrinkles. The rich vitamin C in oranges helps to reverse the skin damage caused by sunlight and pollution, reduce wrinkles, and improve the overall texture of skin.
Pears can prevent cancer. Pears contain more dietary fiber than other fruits, which helps to discharge carcinogens in the colon, thus reducing the risk of colon cancer.
