Within the classification of fruits, these are divided into neutral, sweet, acidic and semi-acidic fruits, whose mixture between groups can cause indigestion and stomach and liver disorders.
The fruits are essential food in a healthy and balanced diet, as they bring to our body all those essential nutrients we need each day to carry out its various functions equally essential for life.
Hence, a few years ago the initiative “5 fruits a day of fresh fruits and vegetables” was born, since it is necessary to eat 2 to 3 servings of fruits daily to be able to fully enjoy its different nutritional benefits.
Among the benefits of the most important fruits, we can highlight above all the following:
