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!

Herpes Treatment with Vitamins
It is autumn now. I like this beautiful season: yellow leaves falling and rustling, gentle melancholic rain, cold and transparent air.
But you know that autumn is a period of catarrhal diseases, chronical diseases exacerbation and thus immune system weakening.
As I’ve mentioned before, 90% of humans are infected with herpes. The herpes virus has an ability to survive for a long time in organism tissues. Some kinds of herpes virus could be present in sensitive ganglia of spinal cord of a person during all his or her life. And the latent infection not necessary will transfer to an active form of disease.
But there are factors that make easy such transfer. These factors include immunity reduce, chronical stress, chronical diseases exacerbation, hypovitaminosis, abnormalities in endocrine glands function, metabolic disturbance, pollution of environment etc.
So we have to protect and stimulate our immune system. Vitamins play an important role here. There are some useful vitamins and agents for persons infected with herpes, such as А, В, Е vitamins, ascorbic acid, rutin. They are very effective in autumn.
Take care and be healthy!

Something about Herpes Treatment
There are also some advices that could be helpful during an outbreak.
First, keep the infected area clean and dry. Use warm shower if you want. Then dry the area with a hair dryer or towel. As a rule, using different creams isn’t helpful and could lead to irritation. Also consider not to wear tight-fitting undergarments.
Importance of Healthy Immune System
Healthy immune system is a very important thing in herpes treatment. So care for your immunity in order to help your organism fighting with different unpleasant diseases including herpes.
In order to strengthen your immune system you have to sleep and rest enough. Try to avoid stress because it has a very negative influence on immunity.
The right diet is also very important. Fruits, vegetables and foods rich in certain fatty acids may support a healthy immune system. 
Lifestyle makes difference, too. If you spend much time outdoors, make physical exercises and after all enjoy life, your immunity will strengthen without any doubts!
