In winter, eating fruits is an excellent method to drink more water and get micronutrients in your diet to provide your immune system with a vital boost. Juicy, delicious and packed with antioxidants, winter fruits are awaited by many and taste different from the winter. They are also delicious in the off-season. Grapefruits, oranges, guavas, apples, pomegranates, and apples are plentiful in India at this time of year. According to research, a diet high in vegetables and fruits protects against cardiovascular diseases and various cancers and chronic illnesses. Micronutrients, such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and Vitamin C, have also been proven to boost immunity.
