Part II. Cure yourself with Wonder Fruits! Hot Five!

All these fruits deserve not only articles but poems! They are our true friends.

1. Apple


I think everyone knows this old saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” That’s true! Probably, apple is the king of the fruits.

Apples are very useful: they help to strengthen a heart, stimulate the work of lungs, and regulate liver. Apples contain many essential vitamins and nutrients: vitamins С, Bi, B2, Вб, Е, К, РР, and natural fruit sugars. Apple is a great source of fiber.

Please don't peel the apple. Remember, apple's peel is very useful! It contains fiber, nutrients and antioxidants, thus helping us to fight diseases.

Two-thirds of the fiber, and many of the antioxidants, are found in apple's peel.

2. Grapefruit

Some scientists believe that grapefruit is the most useful fruit, because even its pits protect us from diseases!

Grapefruit is a great source of fiber and it’s the champion among other fruits containing a fiber. It has more fiber than orange, apple and banana!

It contains also bioflavonoids and vitamin C, a big friend of immune system.

Grapefruit is very good for your heart. It can help to lower the risk of heart disease.

Scientific researches proved that even grapefruit pits are very good for health. Pits contain nutrients with some properties similar to antibiotics characteristics. So these nutrients fight with different bacteris in our body and therefore protect us from diseases.

3. Orange


One writer named oranges as “golden apples of the sun”. He was poetic about these wonderful fruits, wasn’t he?

Of course, orange has high vitamin C content and the natural fiber. One orange contains approximately 50mg of vitamin C; it’s about 2/3 of our daily need. Orange juice is an excellent source of calcium.

It also contains folic acid, beta-carotene, potassium, selenium, antioxidants, and plenty of phytochemicals, the bioactive compounds in plant foods that help nutrients boost the immune system.

Scientific studies say that cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity may be reduced with daily citrus fruit intake. Orange, as other citrus fruits, is high of antioxidants, resulting in the inhibition of tumour growth and the normalising of tumour cells.

4. Avocado


Avocados contain 81 micrograms of the carotenoid lutein, which helps maintain healthy eyes.

Avocado contains nearly 20 vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds.

Avocado is recommended to people suffering from heart diseases and as addition to a calorie-controlled diet.


5. Lemon

Lemon is a great diseases fighter! Everybody knows how it’s helpful when you have a sore throat, flu, a cold, and any virus disease.


A cup of tea with a slice of lemon is not only delicious and wonderful drink but also a great source of vitamins and energy.


Lemon contains Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Calcium, Phosphorus, flavonoid a compound that contains antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.

Take care and be healthy!
