As the old saying goes, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” and that goes for more than just apples. Here are the best fruit and vegetables that you should always eat on a daily basis.

Blueberries:
If your diet is one that needs those anti-oxidants, then blueberries are typically what you’ll eat. The fruit specifically has anthocyanins, which is a flavonoid connected with cognitive ability. These little nuggets also contain Vitamin K1, which helps with blood clotting, as well as Vitamin C and manganese, a mineral associated with the metabolism of amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. With a low glycemic impact, they are a great choice for those watching their sugar intake.

Tomatoes:
Not everyone loves them, but tomatoes are very important to your everyday diet. If you didn’t know, tomatoes contain lycopene, an anti-oxidant, as well as beta-carotene. Tomatoes are also packed with tons of vitamins C and K, potassium and folate. They are believed to improve heart health, skin health and prevent cancer.

Citrus Fruits:
You may have learned this in school while younger and it’s still true today, vitamin C is important. The best fruits of this important vitamin are oranges, grapefruit, limes, and lemons. Not only do these citrus fruits contain vitamin C, but also important B vitamins, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and copper, as well as anti-oxidants.
