So my mom sent me a chain email with this: (I believe she's suggesting me to eat more fruits haha)
KIWI: Tiny but mighty.
This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, Vitamin E & fiber. Its Vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away?
Although an apple has a low Vitamin C content, it has antioxidants and flavonoids which enhances the activity of Vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit.
Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessels-clogging free radicals.
ORANGE : Sweetest medicine.
Taking 2 - 4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Coolest
Thirst Quencher, Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a gaint dose of glutahione, which helps boost our immue system. They are also a key source of ly copene - the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in the watermelon are Vitamin C & Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for Vitamin C.
They are the clear winners for their high Vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for the eyes.
