Which fruit is the most nutritious for your health?

According to recommendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a significant portion of our daily diet should consist of fruits and vegetables. Despite this, data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2019 revealed that a mere 12% of American adults actually consume the recommended 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit each day. The survey respondents from 2019 cited reasons such as the high cost and lack of access to fruit as barriers to meeting these recommendations. However, the health benefits of consuming fruits are well-known. Fruits contain fiber that promotes gut health and important micronutrients like antioxidants, which can lower the risk of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and depression.
