Fruits and Veggies You Should Learn to Eat for the Summer - WFXB

Top four produce items you may want to learn to love this summer.

With the official start of summer just around the corner, we’ve got the top four produce items you may want to learn to love this summer. First on the list are tomatoes. They help keep you looking young. Lycopene gives tomatoes their bright red color and helps protect them from the UV rays. When we eat tomatoes, that same substance protects our skin as well. They’re also full of potassium and vitamins B and E, which helps lower blood pressure.

Grab some fennel next time you’re scooting through the produce section. It’s good for your waistline and cholesterol. Fennel seeds are known to boost your metabolism and the high fiber content helps reduce your overall cholesterol but if you’re into veggies for more than just the skinny benefits, you’ll love all the other nutrients packed into the fennel like potassium and vitamin C. The best way to get it into your diet is a salad.

Orange is the new banana! It may surprise you to know that oranges have more potassium than the average banana and they also help replenish electrolytes that we loose when we sweat. Another cool fact, oranges are 80-percent water and will help keep you hydrated during summer’s hottest days.

Cantaloupe has 100-percent of the daily value for vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cold viruses. This fruit also has your daily need for vitamin A, which helps keeps your eyes, skin, bones and immune system healthy, and it’s also a go to for helping rid the body of extra fluid and salt.
