A higher fruit intake has been tied to protection from heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, cataract, macular degeneration, cognitive decline, digestive tract cancers and lung cancer.Q: I’m trying to eat more fruit, but the choices are limited this time of year. Which winter fruits offer the most nutritional value?
Many people forgo fruit in order to avoid eating too much sugar. But unlike refined sugar that’s added to pastries, ice cream, candy and many highly processed foods, naturally occurring sugar in fruit comes packaged with fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Plus, the fibre in fruit slows the body’s absorption of its natural sugars.
Broil half of a grapefruit for breakfast, serve sliced grapefruit alongside grilled seafood and fish, or add grapefruit segments to green salads. Add pomegranate seeds to yogurt parfaits and fruit salad, sprinkle over oatmeal, stir into whole grain pilafs, toss into salads and mix into muffin batter.My go-to wintertime snack, two clementines deliver plenty of vitamin C along with fibre, potassium, folate, calcium and beneficial citrus flavanones.
