Including a variety of fruits in your daily diet ensures you receive a broad variety of vitamins, minerals, and beneficial plant compounds, making your nutrition complete and sustainable in the long-term.
- You can have 1-2 bananas in a day (unless you have medical conditions like diabetes or any other metabolic conditions)
-Each fruit has unique nutrients - for example, citrus fruits provide vitamin C, bananas offer potassium, and berries supply antioxidants - so variety prevents nutrient gaps.
-Rotating different fruits keeps meals interesting, which encourages consistent healthy eating habits and reduces food boredom.
-Eating diverse fruits supports gut health by providing a mix of fibers, aiding digestion and long-term wellness.
-Healthcare professionals recommend at least 2 cups (or 2–4 servings) of fruit daily for adults, as part of a total of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables combined.
