Bananas
A beautiful bunch a' ripe banana! Daylight come and me wan' go home....
As we all know, the banana is one of nature's best sources of potassium. Potassium is known to significantly lower the risk of high blood pressure and related diseases like heart attack and strokes.
New research is indicating that bananas are helpful in ulcer treatment. They seem to act as a natural antacid. First, they stimulate the stomach's production of protective mucus which helps to prevent harsh acids from touching the tender stomach lining, causing an ulcer. Second, the protease inhibitor found in bananas appears to kill the harmful bacteria that help to cause ulcers.
Navel Oranges
Also known as the Washington, Riverside or Bahia navel; the navel received its unique name from its close resemblance to the human navel at the base of the orange, opposite the stem. The flesh of a navel is sweet and naturally juicy. Try eating your navel as a refreshing snack or in your next lunch salad!
Pomegranates are a stock-house of anti-oxidants, reducing harmful conditions caused by oxidants.
According to many clinical surveys and research conducted, eating a regular dose of pomegranates can prevent heart conditions.
Polyphenols from pomegranate juice aid in extricating radical cells from the body, enhances the immune system and assist in keeping cell count constant.
