Fruits good for your Heart

‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’... they say. I would say not just Apple but Orange, Guava, Grapefruit, Peachess, Amla, Plums and so on and so forth….… There is a wide selection in fruits and vegetables in a pantry. All you have to do is include a wide variety of these fruits in your daily diet to increase the intake of fibre present in these foods. Fibre is the substance in foods, which is only partially digested or not-at-all digested in the body. Fibre is the key to protecting the heart as it not only helps to decrease bad cholesterol but also the total cholesterol itself.

Fruits also abound in natural antioxidants like Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E along with many others, which decrease the build up of bad cholesterol (LDL) in the body. Fruits also help prevent heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other illnesses. So befriend fruits from today or in fact right NOW! Also consume fruits like guava, apple, pear etc unpeeled, as most of the fibre is present just beneath the peel.
