2. Tropical Fruits
Tropical fruits having remarkably great qualities, you can always eat them
unprocessed and without any added sugars. Being an important source of
carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals and fibers, tropical fruits grow on plants of all
habitats . These fruits are a primary source of nutrition and a delicious component
of healthy, balanced diet. Across the world, there are different types of tropical
fruits grown and exported .

3. Eating Fruit Provides Health Benefits
The nutrients in fruit are vital for health and maintenance of your body. The
potassium in fruit can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Potassium may
also reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and help to decrease bone loss as
you age.
Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red blood cells. Women of childbearing age
who may become pregnant and those in the first trimester of pregnancy need
adequate folate. Folate helps prevent neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida.

4. Health Benefits of Vegetables
People who eat fruit and vegetables as part of their daily diet have a reduced risk of
many chronic diseases.
Vegetables are important part of healthy eating and provide a source of many
nutrients, including potassium, fiber, folate (folic acid) and vitamins A, E and C.
Options like brocoli, spinach, tomatoes and garlic provide additional benefits,
making them a superfood!

5. Vegetables, like fruits, are low in calories and fats but contain good amounts of
vitamins and minerals. All the Green-Yellow-Orange vegetables are rich sources of
calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin B-complex, vitamin-
C, vitamin-A, and vitamin K.
As in fruits, vegetables too are home for many antioxidants. These health
benefiting phyto-chemical compounds firstly; help protect the human body from
oxidant stress, diseases, and cancers, and secondly; help the body develop the
capacity to fight against these by boosting immunity.
Additionally, vegetables are packed with soluble as well as insoluble dietary fiber
known as non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) such as cellulose, mucilage, hemi-
cellulose, gums, pectin...etc. These substances absorb excess water in the colon,
retain a good amount of moisture in the fecal matter, and help its smooth passage
out of the body. Thus, sufficient fiber offers protection from conditions like
chronic constipation, hemorrhoids, colon cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, and
rectal fissures.
