Top five Fitness Fruits for Women

Wanna feel fit everyday? Here are the fruits you should eat.
1. Avocado
Avocado is one of the amazing fruits. It contains cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fat which can help keep your body strong and pain free. University of Buffalo researchers found that competitive women runners who ate less than 20 percent fat were more likely to suffer injuries than those who consumed at least 31 percent. Consuming a few slices of avocado a day is good to boost our energy.
2. Bananas
We should miss a day without consuming a banana. One medium-size fruit has 400 milligrams of potassium and as many carbs (29 grams) as two slices of whole-wheat bread. Its energizing carbohydrates really can boost our energy.
3. Berries
Berries (blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries) are one of fruits richest in antioxidants. These potent nutrients help us protect muscles from free radical damage that might be caused by exercise. A little tips for you if you want to buy berries: choose berries based on the shade of their skin. Pick the deepest colour because the deeper the color, the healthier the fruit.
4. Cranberries
Cranberries have proanthocyanins. proanthocyanins are compounds that help us prevent and fight urinary tract infections. If you have such a bad time because you have to run to the bathroom every ten minutes, you definitely need these berries
5. Oranges
Oranges are a rich source of vitamin C. It helps repair muscle tissue. Vitamin C is also a key for making collagen, a tissue that helps keep bones strong. One orange has all the C a woman needs each day. It is close to 75 milligrams. And the good news is we can get them easily since they’re a fruit you can get year-round.
