At Snature we’re going to reveal to you a few things to know about what kind of benefits you will find by eating fruits and which one you should eat by the kind of benefit you’re looking for. You will be able to delay the decline of organics tissues: first thanks to the phytoquimicals, pigments than give colour and aroma to the fruit which also helps slowing the decline of the organics tissues because of its antioxidants characteristic. The mango and the papaya are fruits than contain a lot of them.

Hydrating: eating a piece of fruit is almost like drinking a glass of water, especially if you are talking about pears and watermelons. This benefit is so underrated but in the hottest month of the year they are big defence against the heat. The watermelon is almost pure water (92%), even though the peach (88&) and the orange (87%) are also very hydrating.

Laxative: the fruit contain a high percentage of fiber, or more concretely of pectin. But what most people don’t know is that the majority of the fiber is present under the skin of fruits that’s why it is recommended to watch them good and to eat them with the skin. Plums are laxatives by nature, but apples are also very good stimulators of the intestinal system.

Vitamins: they don’t just contain Vitamin C in big quantities, but they also contain a lot of provitamin A which becomes a vitamin A once assimilated by the organism. The vitamin C is very famous for its efficacy against colds, but the vitamin A is a key element in the good development of bones tissues as wells as skins ones. Besides, among the benefits of fruits you can find the vitamins from the group B even though they are in low quantity. The orange is the vitamin C fruit of all, meanwhile the provitamin A is more present in lemons.

Minerals: in the huge cocktail of nutrient that fruits have to offer, the minerals stand out, and of all of them two in particular. The potassium is usually abundant in fruits and is very important to maintain a nervous system in good conditions.  Another mineral of the ones present is the magnesium that works for the intestinal good functioning and collaborates closely with fibers. Citrus contain a lot of potassium; meanwhile magnesium is abundant in avocados.

Remember all fruits benefits and squeeze them out to their full potential.
