According to nutritionist Lon Ben-Asher, the presence of some fruits and berries in the weekly diet helps to strengthen immunity, having a beneficial effect on the condition of the intestines.

For according to Medical Xpress, a nutritionist recommended eating certain fruits every week.

“Eating a variety of fruits improves gut health, which helps strengthen immunity and has a beneficial effect on the psyche and cardiovascular system,” noted Lon Ben-Asher.

The specialist stated that the most useful for health are products containing a high level of fiber. Fiber (food fibers) has a significant positive effect on the intestinal microflora. It serves as food for beneficial intestinal bacteria and promotes their reproduction in the intestines. Many healthy functions of the body are associated with the activity of such bacteria.

In addition, fiber slows down the absorption of fat and sugar into the blood, and its consumption improves the natural control of glucose and cholesterol levels in the blood.

The nutritionist named apples as one of the best fruits useful for weekly consumption. Their fiber (pectin), as research has shown, leads to an increase in the number of bacteria that ensure acid-alkaline balance in the intestines – this improves the health of the tract and digestion in general. In addition, when using apple pectin, intestinal bacteria produce a substance called butyrate – thanks to it, the intestinal walls are strengthened, they become protected from ulcers.
