Before going to the market, think about which fruits will be most beneficial for you. Maybe you shouldn't spend money on expensive exotic if it will bring minimum benefits? It is better to pay attention to the so-called "winter fruits", that is, fruits (and berries) that were harvested in the fall and have a shelf life of six months, that is, until March.

Absolutely many in vain ignore the mountain ash … 100 grams of garden rowan contains two-thirds of the daily human need for ascorbic acid. And black chokeberry contains a lot of carotenoids and vitamin A. Do not be lazy and make everything you can out of mountain ash - jam, juice, preserves! All this will benefit your body.

In winter, you can find apricots on the market … Specify when exactly the fruit was harvested. After all, those apricots that were harvested in mid and late August are stored longer. In terms of the content of healing elements and vitamins, this fruit is very useful for people with vascular pathology. By the way, in case of blood diseases, apricot is much more useful than peach. Apricot will also help people who have had a heart attack and are suffering from coronary heart disease. This fruit has its own secret of proper use: dry apricots must be soaked in water, and then chewed for a long time. This is how all nutrients are better absorbed.

In winter, do not pass by apples. Sour apples should be consumed by people with obesity, obesity and diabetes. And sweet - to everyone who suffers from cardiological and vascular pathology, urinary and cholelithiasis, gout. A large amount of iron is good for the blood. The effect of potassium is irreplaceable - it is he who removes excess fluid from the body, removes visible and internal edema, is a good prevention of angina pectoris. Apples more than replenish the lack of vitamin C in the body. And vitamin C, in turn, rejuvenates, removes toxins. All vitamins of group B strengthen the nervous system, and group A - the base of blood vessels.

Pears are useful in their own way … True, there is less vitamin A in them than in apples (doctors made an observation - residents of the Primorsky Territory consume this vitamin half the norm and, as a result, suffer from dystonia). There is as much iron, B vitamins, and potassium in pears as in apples. But they also contain cobalt, which helps to normalize hemoglobin.

Pay attention to the quince … But keep in mind: it should only be bought in the fall and winter. With the onset of spring, it is better not to consume this fruit at all, since with prolonged storage it becomes harmful to the body. On the other hand, it was acquired on time and is very useful. Fiber in quince contains twice as much as in apples, and carotenoids - 10-12 times. Such a set will greatly help meteosensitive people, that is, those who sharply feel the change in the weather.

The most popular winter fruits are, of course, citrus fruits. Oranges, tangerines, lemons, grapefruits are rich in vitamin C, as well as vitamins A, E, B3, B6, PP and others.

In oranges higher content of vitamin C, inositol. Thanks to this, all metabolic processes are improved, the liver is cleansed, and intestinal motility is normalized. In addition, there is a positive effect on the nervous system, a good anti-sclerotic effect is noticeable. By the way, eating oranges in the form of freshly squeezed juice in sealed containers is healthier than just like that. Indeed, under the influence of oxygen, the healing properties disappear, and in the juice, which is hermetically packed, they are preserved.

Grapefruit are valuable for their high content of vitamin C, and grapefruit septa contain a very useful substance - naringin, which has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract, and also reduces the "bad" cholesterol in the blood.
