Eating low-cal fruits can help lower your calorie intake, reduce your risk of some chronic diseases like stroke, heart disease, and diabetes, and may protect against certain cancers, including oral cancer. Besides providing vital nutrients, each fruit has its own unique qualities. Scientists believe that grapefruit, for example, contains a substance that’s a natural fat-fighter. And no wonder the pear is so popular: this low-cal member of the rose family is a good source of fiber, vitamins B2, C, and E, copper, and potassium. Try these fruit-friendly tips... Add fruit to hot or cold cereal, top frozen yogurt with fresh fruit or compote, keep fruit visible – you’ll eat more of it, add fruit to salads and main-course meals, and request a complimentary whole-fruit program at work. © Patient News
