Do You Know About These 21 Best Fruits For Women’s Health?

#1 Apple

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" has become a tired cliché now. But clichés are always evergreen words of wisdom that have lost their charm because of constant re-telling.

Apples, whether red, green, or yellow, are wonderful superfruits because they are packed with fibres and antioxidants that can keep your body free of antioxidants. Plus, their skin contains a unique compound called quercetin, which has the ability to protect you from allergic reactions and inflammation.

And if that is not enough, numerous studies have proven that those who eat at least 5 apples every week are more immune to the flu and lung infections than their non-apple-eating counterparts.

Caution: Don't eat apple seeds, as they contain cyanide in them!
