We are all aware of the health benefits of fruits that help maintain our immune system and prevent infections. All these fruits keep our body healthy and fresh and provide the energy required for daily activities. These fruits meet our nutritional needs. In winter, juicy citrus fruits take care of our skin which makes up for the lack of vitamin C. Many of us are very picky about eating fruit, especially in winter. There are many fruits that we don’t like to eat but its great benefits cannot be ignored.

That is why it is very important to include seasonal fruits in our diet so that we can stay away from colds, coughs and common diseases. Below are some Indian fruits that should be included in our diet.

Oranges:

This beautiful and attractive juicy substance undoubtedly comes to mind as this first winter fruit. This sweet fruit is very popular with everyone because it is delicious and fresh as well as it protects us from the cold with the necessary nutrients. Our bodies cannot make vitamin C on their own so oranges make up for this deficiency. These fruits reduce our risk of getting sick from common winter diseases. So we should eat more oranges every day.

Custard Apples:

It is a delicious and creamy fruit, which is another very good source of vitamin C. It is not so common like our other winter fruits. Custard apples are an important part of our daily diet in winter, and the presence of vitamin B6, magnesium, calcium and antioxidants greatly enhances the nutritional value of this fruit. The leaves of this fruit are equally beneficial; especially its ayurvedic value is immense. This delicious fruit is rich in vitamins, fiber and minerals that can reduce our body temperature improve heart and eyes and support immunity.

Apple:

We all know about this very high quality fruit which is prescribed by every doctor. Its benefits make it popular as an essential food in winter season. If we need to eat pure apple peel, then its quality will be more useful to us. Apples naturally contain pectin which helps in relieving diarrhea and constipation. Apples are low in almost every vitamin and mineral such as vitamin B6, vitamin K, manganese, copper and many more. According to research, red-skinned apples contain more anthocyanidin than other varieties of apples. Red apples are also delicious and contain high levels of polyphenol. So we should eat at-least 1 red apple every-day.

Pomegranate:

Pomegranate always helps the body to maintain its excellent juice, especially blood circulation and volume, especially during this winter season. It is especially useful for young and old in relieving joint pain and diseases like arthritis. Pomegranate extract can block the enzymes of osteoarthritis. Pomegranate juice also makes up for the lack of vitamin C. Vitamins E and C in pomegranate juice boost our immune system which in turn increases our ability to fight infections. Fresh pomegranate juice is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, folic acid and vitamin K and has special benefits in preventing heart disease and anemia.

The above winter fruits will easily be at the top of our diet due to their quality and special effectiveness in winter season.
