There’s no secret behind fruits being a super food for helping lose weight and eliminate sugar cravings. Packed with vitamins and minerals, these natural foods make the step to being healthier easy. Making a conscious effort to reach for these fruits over junk foods will help put you on track to living a healthy and happier life.

Apples

We’ve all heard the expression, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but have you ever thought about why that saying has stuck around? Apples provide nutritional benefits that make your heart happy and help you maintain your energy to keep working towards your fitness goals. Their natural sugars, vitamin C, and high level of fiber (4 grams per apple!) provide you with the push you need to keep on keeping on. Apples can be the perfect weapon when combating obesity and diabetes.

Mangoes

Lower cholesterol and boosted immune system, mangoes are the perfect source of vitamin C and vitamin A to make your tummy smile. These bad boys are also loaded with fiber to help regulate your digestive system, so if you want to make the swap from apples to mangoes occasionally, your doctor won’t mind. Another cool side effect? Mangoes can often help clear skin imperfections! Blend this fruit up for a fresh fruit face mask to help ward off unwanted blemishes.

Peaches

Now this stone fruit is one that claims the crown! Peaches are loaded with so many different vitamins and minerals, you’ll be loading up your grocery cart next shopping trip with nothing else. Vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc- Really the list just goes on and on. Peaches load you up with the nutrients you need to feel full without overstuffing. Can you say weight management goals?

Berries

Some-berry once told us that these fruits are packed with health benefits. Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and more. Throw these together for a fruit salad to snack on to fight those 3:00 hunger cravings. Berries help keep you mentally sharp and your body full. Cranberries are also known to help fight off urinary tract infections. Though berries may be small, they sure are mighty.

Pears

High in vitamin A, pears can help improve your skin and hair. These fruits also provide a good source of vitamin K and boron, which helps your bones grow similar to calcium. Can we get a glass of milk and a pear, please? Add some honey and you’ve got yourself a tasty, filling afternoon snack.
