Fruit: Nature's healthy candy
-
Fruit is healthy. We all know that. Fruit is packed with vitamins, minerals and important nutrients. Still, there is a big difference between the different fruits, because they all have different properties. Regularly eating fruit has a positive effect on the human body and the brain. Depending on what vitamins the fruit contains, it can promote bowel movements, help fight cell and tissue damage, and reduce the risk of certain diseases.
What do vitamins do to our body
-
We all know vitamins are healthy. But what exactly do different vitamins do in our body?

Vitamin B12
-
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), just like vitamin B6, is important for a good resistance and proper functioning of the nervous system. Furthermore, this vitamin plays an important role in the formation of healthy red blood cells and prevents certain forms of anemia.
Vitamin C
-
This vitamin acts as an antioxidant in our body. The antioxidant is responsible for the absorption of iron in our body, for the formation of connective tissue and for the maintenance of our resistance.
Vitamin E
-
Tocopherol, another name for vitamin E, is an antioxidant. It protects the cells in our body against free radicals (aggressive substances that arise in our body that damage tissues and cells, which can eventually cause diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease). This vitamin also plays a role in the production of red blood cells.

The healthiest fruits
-
Two pieces of fruit a day is the recommended amount and each fruit is healthy, but some varieties have that little bit extra that makes them even healthier than other fruits. These include:
Blue and red fruit
-
Blue and red fruits such as red currants, blueberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries contain anthocyanins. This is a certain form of flavonoids and has a positive effect on the brain. They are mildly toxic. As a result, these substances activate the natural production of antioxidants in our body, which in turn ensures that our body is able to neutralize free radicals.
The apple
-
The apple is rich in B vitamins, vitamin C and antioxidants. Furthermore, the apple contains fibers that have a positive effect on bowel movements. Many people tend to peel an apple before consumption. However, this is a shame and absolutely unnecessary; the skin of the apple contains more vitamins than the pulp.
