Cherry, Apple, Prunes: Fruits for a Healthy Diet

Things have changed for the last ten years of my life. I am not getting any younger so a healthy eating habit is crucial. I know that it is hard for a food lover like me, but keeping healthy will bring a lot of benefits. I came up with these top three fruits that you and I can include in our everyday diets.

CHERRIES. This fruit is one of the best sources of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals - excellent factors in maintaining your health. It is high in antioxidants and can lessen the risk of cancer. It is also low in fat and calories. In cooking, cherries are perfect for sweet dishes.


APPLE. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” And it surely does because the apple is the number one fruit that can improve your heart and keep it healthy. It has flavonoids that can lower your cholesterol and can cut platelets adherence in your arteries.You can eat an apple fresh or you can include it in your daily meals through healthy desserts like Apple Pie, Apple Tart, and Apple Cake.

PRUNES. A distinct kind of plum that can add flavor to your diet and give you abundant antioxidants. Plum, being rich in antioxidants, can protect your body’s cells, strengthens your heart and cell membrane, fights viruses and bacteria. And like cherries, they also help reduce the risk of cancer. I recommend Braised Pork with Prunes for dinner and Spiced Meringues with Coffee-Soaked Prunes for dessert to give you that needed prune fix. Search Good Food for these recipes. 




Healthy eating is possible with fruits. Take every opportunity to eat them for the sake of your health. And as for me, I have made them staples in my diet.
