Health experts say we should eat at least two cups of fruit every day. And there’s no better time than summer to enjoy this refreshing gift from nature! Keep reading to learn how summer fruit can keep us strong and healthy.

Mango

Sometimes called the “king of fruit,” a mango contains more than 20 vitamins and minerals. Rich in vitamin C, the mango helps to keep colds away. It also provides vitamin A, which is essential for healthy skin and good eyesight.

Cantaloupe(哈密瓜)

Are you out of sunscreen(防晒油)? Eat a slice of cantaloupe! With more beta carotene(胡萝卜素) than any other melon, the cantaloupe functions as a natural, internal sunscreen. Beta carotene can help prevent sun damage that leads to wrinkles(皱纹) and other signs of aging.

Pineapple

Known in the U.S as a symbol of friendship, pineapple fights both lung(肺) and breast(乳腺) cancer. This tasty fruit also contains a special substance that helps injuries(伤口) heal(愈合).

Watermelon

Watermelon, America’s favorite summer fruit, can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Like most bright red fruit and vegetables, watermelon lowers the risk of cancer.

Grapes

Studying for a test? Grab a handful of grapes! Research shows that grapes help improve memory and brainpower (脑力).
