Summer fruits are not only refreshing and delicious on a hot day; they are also jam-packed with vitamins and minerals that give you that healthy summer glow.
 
Watermelon

This fruit is made up of 90% water and contains vitamins A and C. Watermelon helps to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin, leaving you with a rosy complexion and smooth, supple skin.

Other health benefits of watermelon include: reducing inflammation from arthritis, asthma and diabetes, fighting heart disease and lessening the risk of cancer.
 
Strawberries

Strawberries contain anti-oxidants and protect skin from the harmful affects of the environment. They also contain a lot of vitamin C which leads to fewer wrinkles.

Other health benefits of strawberries include: preventing leukemic and halting the growth of malignant tumours.

Pineapple

Pineapples contain vitamin C, are a natural antioxidant and keep skin hydrated and elastic.

Other health benefits of pineapples include: curing bronchitis, throat infections and period pains.

Grapes

Grapes contain Vitamin A and B3, as well as minerals, tannin and citric acid that moisturize the skin and slow down the aging process. They also stimulate and detoxify the skin and the best thing about this fruit is that it contains very little calories.

Other health benefits of grapes include: increasing skin cell re-growth.
 
Sweet melon

Sweet melons also have a high water content and vitamin A which helps fight signs of aging and keeps skin glowing.

Other health benefits of sweet melon include: increased vision, preventing cataracts and decreasing the risk of lung cancer.
 
Try including these fruit in your daily diet by having a fruit salad for breakfast or as an afternoon snack. If you’re craving something sweet, rather indulge in a summer fruit instead of junk food.
