You should aim to eat 1 1\/2 to 2 cups of fruit every day, but most of us don't hit that target. According to the CDC, only 10% of Americans eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. If you need some motivation to eat more fruit, here are six amazing benefits of eating fruit every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incredible Effects of Adding Fruit to Your Diet Every Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1 - Reduce Inflammation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fruit is one of the best dietary sources for quenching inflammation. Inflammation is the root cause of most chronic health problems like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer and more. The redness, swelling and pain associated with inflammation are a sign that your body needs more anti-inflammatory foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating fruit is an easy way to fight inflammation and slow the ageing process. Apples, grapes and berries are among the greatest sources of flavonoids, which act as anti-inflammatories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 - Assist with Weight Loss<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to lose weight is by adding more fibre to your diet. Fibre is found in plant foods and is essential for a healthy body because your body can't digest it. This means you take in all the healthy nutrients and none of the calories that come with digesting food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 - Ward Off Chronic Disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eating a diet filled with fruit is one of the best ways to protect yourself from chronic disease. A few key nutrients in fruit - vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and lycopene - are powerful antioxidants that can fight disease and help boost your immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 - Improve Blood Sugar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The problem many people have with insulin is that their bodies overproduce the hormone because of too many carbs. Fruit is a great source of carbs, which your body needs, but fruit is low on the glycemic index. This means it will not cause your blood sugar to spike, and it will not trigger insulin production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 - Reduce Blood Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blood pressure is a key indicator of your overall health. You need blood pressure to circulate blood to your heart and keep your body healthy, but high blood pressure can cause a number of problems, including heart attack and stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 - Boost Skin Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fruits contain a lot of vitamin C, which we've said is great for your immune system, but vitamin C is also great for your skin. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals, which can damage your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 - Stay Hydrated<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drinking enough water is essential to your health, but water can leave you feeling dull and dry. Fruit is an excellent source of water and naturally contains a lot of sugar, which will keep you hydrated without sacrificing energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to Start Eating More Fruit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Those are only a few of the many benefits of eating fruit every day. Eating fruit every day can also help improve your memory, reduce your risk of certain cancers, improve your mood and support your digestive system. The next time you're tempted to reach for a bag of chips or a sweet snack, remember that fruit is one of the healthiest snacks you can eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
