The benefits from including fruits meals for your work lunch

What are the foods that belong to the Fruit Group?


The Fruit Group includes any fruit or 100 percent fruit juice. Fruits can be whole, sliced up, pureed, or cooked and can be fresh, frozen, canned, or dried/dehydrated. Instead of 100% fruit juice, at least half of the recommended amount of fruit should come from whole fruit.


Fruits are high in vitamins and minerals, and are known for helping to avoid vitamin C and vitamin A deficiency. People who eat fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy diet have a lower chance of developing certain chronic diseases. At mealtimes, the USDA's MyPlate urges people to fill half of their plate with fruits and vegetables.


Fruits are an important part of a healthy eating pattern and a good source of potassium, folate (folic acid), and antioxidants such polyphenols, among other minerals. Phytochemicals found in blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, and citrus fruits are being examined for their potential health advantages.


Fruit's Essential Nutrients


Fruit nutrients are essential for general health and body system upkeep. The following are some of the advantages of these nutrients:


Reduced risk of chronic disease: A fruit-rich diet may lower the risk of stroke, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.


Fruit's potassium content can help to lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. Potassium may also assist to minimize bone loss and lessen the chance of kidney stones.


Folate (folic acid) aids in the formation of red blood cells, lowering the chance of neural tube abnormalities. Women of childbearing age who may get pregnant, as well as those who are pregnant in the first trimester, require adequate folate. Folate aids in the prevention of neural tube birth abnormalities including spina bifida.


Antioxidants that help repair damage caused by free radicals and may protect against certain cancers are found in an eating pattern that includes fruit as part of a healthy overall diet. It may also have a beneficial effect on digestion. Polyphenols are antioxidants that have been found to change gut microecology, or the ratio of good bacteria to bad bacteria.
