<li><strong>Apples: </strong>There is a reason why an apple a day keeps
 the doctor away. Apples are filled with antioxidants, soluble and 
insoluble fibre and quercetin. Antioxidants boost your immunity and the 
fibre provides you with energy and maintains a healthy bowel, while 
quercetin has anti-allergy and antihistamine (compounds which curb the 
effects of histamine, primarily used to treat allergies) properties.</li>
<li><strong>Grapes: </strong>Grapes contain an antioxidant named 
resveratrol, which prevents heart diseases and premature aging of your 
cells. In addition, they are also great sources of folate and 
vitamin B6, C and A which contribute to a healthier immune system.</li>
<li><strong>Bananas: </strong>Bananas have low sodium and high potassium levels. Thus, they are extremely beneficial in maintaining blood pressure
 and preventing strokes. Bananas also contain protease inhibitors, which
 prevent stomach ulcers (protease is a digestive enzyme that produces 
acid).</li>
<li><strong>Strawberries: </strong>Strawberries might be small, but they do pack a lot of nutrients! A handful of strawberries daily can prevent diabetes type 2, inflammations and heart disease. They are also rich in antioxidants and vitamin C.</li>
<li><strong>Papaya: </strong>Papayas contain a substance called 
‘papain’ which is an incredible digestive stimulant. They also contain 
large amounts of folate, which helps in proper DNA repair and synthesis.</li>
<li><strong>Oranges: </strong>Oranges provide you with vitamin C and 
potassium, which are essential for enhanced muscle and digestive 
functions. The membrane between orange segments contains hesperidin, 
which has been proven to reduce cholesterol.</li>
<li><strong>Kiwi: </strong>Kiwi contains more vitamin C than oranges 
which grants them the ability to prevent DNA damage and also helps 
reduce risks of developing cataracts.</li>
<li><strong>Blueberries: </strong>Blueberries are a great source of 
antioxidants which aid in fighting cancer and macular degeneration (an 
eye disease which results in vision loss). They also contain compounds 
that protect you from urinary tract infections.</li>
<li><strong>Lemon: </strong>Lemons contain citric acid, which 
effectively lowers cholesterol and cuts down on body fat. Citric acid is
 also an excellent digestive stimulant. Also, the refreshing scent of 
lemons reduces anxiety, nervousness and fatigue.</li>
<li><strong>Grapefruit: </strong>Grapefruit is an excellent appetite 
suppressant, which cuts down on your cravings. It also contains a 
soluble fibre named ‘pectin’, which lessens the development of 
atherosclerosis (build-up of cholesterol and fats on the walls of the 
artery). However, refrain from consuming grapefruit if you are on 
prescription medications.</li>
