What are Fruits?
The sweet and fleshy product of a tree or other
plant that contains seed and can be eaten as food.
NutrientsWe Get from Fruits
Most fruits are naturally low in fat, sodium, and
calories. None have cholesterol.
Fruits are sources of many essential nutrients that are
under consumed, including potassium, dietary fibre, vitamin
C, and folate (folic acid).
Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy
blood pressure. Fruit sources of potassium include bana-
nas, prunes and prune juice, dried peaches and apricots,
cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and orange juice.
Dietary fibre from fruits, as part of an overall healthy
diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower
risk of heart disease. Fibre is important for proper bowel
function. It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis.
Fibre-containing foods such as fruits help provide a feeling
of fullness with fewer calories. Whole or cut-up fruits are
sources of dietary fibre; fruit juices contain little or no
fibre.
Vitamin C is important for growth and repair of all
body tissues, helps heal cuts and wounds, and keeps teeth
and gums healthy.
Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells.
Women of childbearing age who may become pregnant
should consume adequate folate from foods, and in addi-
tion 400 mcg of synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or
supplements. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects,
spina bifida, and anencephaly during fetal development.
Health benefits
Eating a diet rich in some fruits as part of an overall
healthy diet may protect against certain types of cancers.
Diets rich in foods containing fibre, such as some
fruits have, may reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity,
and type 2 diabetes.
Eating fruits rich in potassium as part of an overall
healthy diet may lower blood pressure, and may also re-
duce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to de-
crease bone loss.
Eating foods such as fruits that are lower in calories
per cup instead of some other higher-calorie food may be
useful in helping to lower calorie intake.
