I love fruit. I love special fruit. I love trying new and exciting fruit. In fact, as a souvenir to bring home to my kids from my trip to Vienna, I just bought a bunch of new and exciting tropical fruit. But did you know they have special health benefits? This post from Nancy Evans teaches more about those.
If you are considering getting healthier and starting a diet, or maybe you are just looking for some foods that can give you great health benefits, you should add some tropical fruits to your life. Tropical fruits can sometimes be bitter, but adding in things like coconut flavor can sweeten the fruits up without taking away your health benefits. You might be surprised at how much your life will change for the better when you add tropical fruit into your life. Here are some of the first fruits you should try out and what they can bring to your life to help you live it a little better.
Banana
I know it might sound a bit odd, but a banana is a tropical fruit and does have a lot of health benefits that you could get some use out of. It has potassium to help your bones stay strong and healthy, plus it is loaded with lots of vitamins like A, B, and C. It is so easy to pack in a lunch sack to take to work or school. You really can't go wrong with adding a banana to your diet a few times a week. It is always delicious on cereal or oatmeal in the morning.
Jackfruit
Jackfruit can be eaten on its own when it is ripe. It gives you lots of vitamins such as A, B, and C. It also gives you potassium, calcium, and magnesium. It is used in a lot of vegetarian meals when it is unripe because it has a meat-like texture. If you aren't a fan of the taste, you can add it to smoothies and juices to make give yourself a boost while tasting something delicious.
Coconuts
They are on this list because they are not only a tropical fruit, but they are considered one of the world's superfoods. The water in the coconut, while not a flavor everyone likes, is full of hydrating materials and one of the best electrolytes you will ever get from any other water source. It is good for your insides and your outsides. It helps your skin become more clear and your body will be a lot more hydrated after drinking the coconut. You can also consume coconut in different smoothies and juices and get the same hydrating benefits as you would if it were on its own.
Mangoes
You can eat mangoes and instantly get vitamins C and A, plus mangoes are packed with cancer-fighting antioxidants, proving that it is a very healthy tropical fruit. These fruits are often thrown into juices and smoothies, but you can eat them alone too and get the same benefits. However, a mango smoothie is one of the best treats you can give yourself.
Avocados
Avocados are great and full of the healthy fats that your body needs to stay happy and healthy. You also get potassium and vitamins C, B, and E. The best part about avocados is that you can eat them on almost anything. But if you are not a fan of the flavor, you can throw it in a smoothie with some other flavored syrups and you will not even know it is in there.
Pineapple
Pineapples are very flavorful and they might be full of acid, but they are filled with the best kind of acid. The science behind it is a little complicated to understand but to sum it up, you eat a pineapple, your digestive system will thank you. You can add pineapple to your diet by throwing them in a fruit salad, a smoothie, or juice, or you can just eat them as you go about your day.
These are all fruits that are tropical that you should consider adding into your diet, even if just a little bit. You can never really go wrong with eating a little bit healthier and if it's delicious, why would you pass up the opportunity to get some health benefits out of it? Even one of these fruits will help you feel a lot better in your daily life. Give one of them a shot and see how you feel.
